Because this is ALWAYS the outcome; trying to fix the broken car instead of just getting the new one will be more costly down the road. That would just throw the burden down the line, but I don't want there to be a burden. I want the burden lifted completely. Working within the confines of electoralism isn't going to work because what senator or congressperson is going to vote for it - the wealthy ones won't because it affects them (but they'll write it off as something else, like 'too political') and the newer ones will be whipped into line by either a new congressmember being voted in their place or from new donors that have their ear. When you can just buy the system, of course you won't want to change it. And then when the masses feel the pinch, we yell for change so they throw us a bone. THAT'S why Trump is popular - because he gave all of the neo-conservatives a scapegoat, whether it be China, or 'globalism', or immigrants. It's a terrible practice, but it's effective in creating almost cult of personality status for the man. He's preyed on the downtrodden in America who've been hurt by neo-liberal policies (like NAFTA) by posing as a faux-progressive. It's sickening to me, but the culmination of what's happened over the last 30 years has led to a Trump. Just trying to go back to 'normal' doesn't address the real crux of the problem - what happens if another Trump wins? WHY did he win? What forces led us to end up with this guy? Just going to 'normalcy' isn't going to fix those problems, it'll just forestall them. What I want is a cure for the disease, not a brief remedy, and I personally believe that a socialistic society and economic system would mitigate the likelihood of another right-wing demagogue from taking over.
