10. Try getting any media to take this seriously
Their boards of directors are the same ones who participated in the scheme..

The "fix" is in.. It was IN from the day Obama was elected.

The ONLY thing that could have "saved" his presidency would have been to act BOLDLY & loudly ...immediately after the election.

Expanding medicare for all, eliminating the cap on SS (to pay for it)

Nationalizing the banks for a 2 yr period & selling off pieces of them to create a smaller more manageable banking system

Demanding legislation that provided for public financing of elections

and any number of other "fixes" we have needed for decades

There was a window of opportunity, where the republicans were disorganized, demoralized & flat-on-their-backs

That was the ONE opportunity he had, to act boldly and to set the tone. Once their heads cleared and their behind-the-scenes schemers caught their breaths, it was too late, because they started setting the terms of his presidency and it was too late to go back.
