I read somewhere that politicians should wear their contributors on their suits, like NASCAR wears their sponsors. I thought that was a good idea. The corruption runs so incredibly deep at this point I'm not so sure we can ever get rid of it all together

Yes it is rigged but unfortunately I don't think we as a society in the USA can change it. Most people are just partisan hacks and don't see any wrong from their team even when they are calling the other side out for the same things. Will take a huge awakening of the masses t get any change.

Yes it is.

No we cant.

I've said this before. A constitutional amendment to change how we elect our representatives and present legislation, at all levels.

1. Voter ID required.....in person voting only. (exceptions for truly disabled only) (not emotionally. etc.)
2. All elected positions are for six year terms.
3. Terms limited to one term. no back to back terms.
4. Elections for President, senators, and representative held on different years. two years apart.
5. All bills submitted are to cover only one subject, and have to be on a single standard sheet of paper. All bills should be published two weeks before any vote. (exceptions for emergency, to be reviewed later)

IS OUR “SYSTEM” RIGGED?
ALL “Systems” are “rigged” ... if they weren’t, they wouldn’t BE a “System”.
ALL “Systems” have a Goal ... a Desired Outcome ... ultimately ALL Systems Fail ...
Once a System achieves its “Goal” where does it go from there?
The Laws of Nature ... Reality ... indicates that it CANNOT simply enter into a form of “Stasis” not for long at any rate.
The lack of a “System” results in an Anarchic State ... an Anarchy.

As to this video ... since I am pretty actively watching the various “things” popping up in our politics, I find it odd that until these videos started popping up recently, i’d Never heard of this “group”. I note that they throw around some “polling data” and statistics but i’ve Never heard of anyone conducting such polls.
They purport to desire to remove corruption from Our Government. A Lofty and Admirable Goal ... something worth striving for ... However, it seems that they are looking to establish a more truly “Democratic” form of Government ... another Lofty and Admirable Goal ... or is it?
As things stand in Our Nation we are on the edge of a clear divide between what I would call “Makers and Takers” ... a point where there are as many people (Constituents?) that want to be “Given” as there are that simply desire the opportunity to “Make Their Way” ...
IF in the process of removing Federal Corruption we simply unleash Civil ... Social ... Corruption, what do WE as a Nation ... as Citizens ... gain?
It seems to me that these are good and thought provoking videos BUT if looked at carefully, they seem to be pushing the Concepts that would, for instance, remove the Electoral College.
If this isn’t a “Logical Explanation” as to why WE should be embracing a “Socialistic” form of Government ... I’m missing something.
Further, I’m pretty suspicious about the statistics they are so casually throwing around as well as what they are using as sources ... Bloomberg?
I hear them throwing around “Facts” I’m not sure what they’re based on ...
I hear them throwing around “Statistics” I’m not sure where they got them from ...
I hear them claiming “membership” to a group I’ve never heard of ... “We’ve got 85 ... if we could get it to 850 ...”
Doesn’t this sound an awful lot like the claims and aims of the “Justice Democrats” (the People behind Occasional Cortex) which itself is a subset of “Move-On.org” which is itself a fuzzy-friendly version of the Left?

It isn't this Hollywood idiot. I respect her talent but she is reading a script.

If you want to change elections for the betterment of anyone and everyone GET GOVERNMENT UNIONS OUT OF THEM. As long as they can control the mechanics of election they can control the outcome and that outcome will be in their own self interest.

GOVERNMENT UNIONS ARE DESTROYING OUR NATION.

I would add that if you want to fix something PICK ONE ISSUE. Don't bundle a bunch of them together. One issue campaigns are lonely and hard, but you might get something accomplished. Everything else is just more politics and ego boosting.

These are perennial problems. I don't think you'll ever get money and influence out of the system. There's not a single thing she's mentioned that hasn't always been a problem. Everyone thinks the world began the day they were born. Reforms are always a part of our political process - not the structure itself. Some of these reforms could work, others would make things worse. They are right that ground up policies are often the most successful, but that's been known as well. I'd have to see specifics to see if this is a real reform or just one side trying to convince the other to sign onto their agenda. Who isn't opposed to corruption? It's what you define it to be that causes the fighting.
