We've spent way, way, way too long believing the parties are going to do what's right and honorable as opposed to preserving their power and serving the donor class. Politics has been turned into a spectacle to watch, and we need to destroy that myth for forever.

We saw with Mueller that the system isn't working. He was a lifelong Republican who got smeared by his own party and lambasted by a media disappointed by his performance on television. This isn't going to fix itself. This isn't going to magically get better. We have to work.
History teaches us that these things are only going to get worse until the citizenry stands up and says enough is enough. It always feels irresistible until it isn't. Right now, we're immobilized a culture that profits off inaction and immobilization. It has to change.
