(58,785 posts)The "opinion" may just be don't bother me with the details, but there are over 300 million of us. "THEY" do nothing we don't allow.
If even 5% more liberals/Democrats/progressives of all persuasions consistently voted, we could override the conservatives' tendency to obedient, passive authoritarian support of the people who are sacking our country and could start tossing the bums out. We are a majority, it's just that most of us live in more urban areas and many of our votes are wasted (like by electing 1 candidate with a 100,000-vote majority instead of 20 with 5,000-vote majorities in more rural areas).
BTW, that $11 billion (only one of our many frivolities AFTER we shuffled most of our nation wealth into the hands of a few) ) should make clear that we can afford Social Security -- we just have to stop the conservative leaders determined to destroy it by, among other plottings, telling us we can't.
