Yea, cool story. Look at how Americans voted. Congress and Presidency are both Republican. The majority (according to your weird state-voting system) don't want action on any of those things. The money is irrelevant.

The majority are afraid of change, which gets used to manipulate them into thinking things will be worse if they don't fight change. And the billionaires bankrolling this bullshit messaging get to keep squeezing us all for more.
