I don't see a path by which we can retake power. The oligarchs have unlimited funds, our legal system can't touch them, and they can buy lawmakers, laws, and elections. I see no meaningful pushback against the billionaire class and their corporations from either party.

Them that have the money write the rules, and they will also write the history of our times.
