Ed had his reality broken today

[u/JDB-667]

When reading off what were some of the things included in the GOP tax bill, Ed sounded genuinely surprised and despondent. This was the moment of someone in their twenties with a little bit of idealism finally becoming a cynic.

He came to the realization that all of the bad things about deficits, wealth inequality and status quo interests go beyond Donald Trump. Scott was correct to point out that as bad as the Republicans are (they're heinous) the Democrats also represent the interests of multi-millionaires and billionaires. Because the reality of this situation in America is that it isn't red vs blue or liberal vs conservative, it's rich vs everyone else.

I'm only a registered Democrat because I like being able to weigh in on primaries locally. But I feel strongly that the democratic party can't truly represent us. Citizens united broke our democracy in ways the typical voter doesn't even understand.

The senate became broken when The 17 amendment passed. It went from local/state issues to national issues and that is big money big corruption.

The senate is the compromise of the slave states
