It is the conservative, corporate lobbyist loving, mindset that is turning it's back on "we the people".

We need true progressive populist change.
We are not there yet.

1. Absolutely correct.
Targeting the DINOs for extinction is obviously important, but the machines that breed DINOs need to be slaughtered as well.

The corporate media. Corporate funding of campaigns. The DLC. Electrofraud "voting" machines. Until these things are gone, we'll never have honest elections.

2. What we need are true publicly funded elections
For all offices ranging from dogcatcher to president. Each candidate gets X amount of money, X amount of free air time (after all, these are still public airwaves) and X amount of time to run their campaign (I'm sick and tired of having campaigns that last for a couple of years, it seems that many politicians are in permanent campaign mode when they should be attending to the business of government). All this money is paid for by taxpayers, and no private funding of campaigns is allowed. This would take corporate money out of our government, and this is first, and most vital step to restoring our government to the people.

Sadly, with our current government structure, this simply isn't going to happen, and this country is going to continue to slip further under the control of the corporate oligarchs.
