But who in the modern political system wants to go head-to-head with multinational corporations

Very few people currently in the modern political system could or would be willing to take them on, true. But we have 2026 to start filling the next House and a third of the Senate with people who would be up to the challenge. We need to primary strong candidates and we need to platform third-party candidates wherever they can actually win.

To those who say "there will be no more elections" - yes, that's what they wanted, but what they have actually done was dismantle the government and set the US careening towards economic collapse. With Trump's brain failing and his administration making idiotic mistakes left and right, we shouldn't assume they're going to get everything they wanted exactly how they wanted it.

These are unprecedented times, but the 1930s were unprecedented times too.

Progressive government by its very terms must be a living and growing thing, that the battle for it is never-ending and that if we let up for one single moment or one single year, not merely do we stand still but we fall back in the march of civilization.

Then-governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, May 1930
