Should politicians take a back seat to our oligarch owners?

Which party will provide the American and Canadian leadership and stop de-civilization of our countries with redistribution of wealth?

Who has the older and wiser philosophy and heart to reverse current de-humanizing trends?

If we are all to be owned by oligarchs, should we not make them debate publicly so that we can know their real philosophy instead of listening to their bought and paid for politicians?

Should we ask our owners to take center stage and move their political talking heads right off the stage?

This sounds more pragmatic than what we are currently doing.

I have a saying that states "in the past power was wielded with an iron fist, in modern times people in power cover their iron fists under silken gloves." I think you are suggesting that people in power should pull off their silken gloves and reveal their true colors.

Oligarchs will never admit their true agenda to the rest of us, as that agenda will always be at our expense.
As for politicians taking a back seat to oligarchs - as bad as politicians have been, especially since they have been self serving and have sold out time and again to said oligarchs, there are still some who will fight for us (Elizabeth Warren comes to mind), and so those in particular must not back down.

Yes, or no:

Should GnosticPriest stop beating his wife?

Indeed.

Thanks for expanding your idea.

You are right. I want to know who my real master and want him to explain his policies without his bought and paid for talking head getting in the way.

Many good people are fighting for us but when the oligarchs can pay for many times the media air time than the independents, it makes things a lot harder.

The only thing I like about how your country's governments work is that with all the states divided, it may enhance the ability of a black sheep to actually gain power.

Those are flukes but do occasionally happen.

Your Owners do not give a f**k whether you live or die. Your Owners will not explain or justify anything they do. They don't care what you think about any topic and they never will. They want submission and as you can see, they have it.

Hence why I pledge myself to Cthulhu. At least he promises that his faithful will be the first he devours. Try getting a bargain like that elsewhere.

Glad to know there is yet another Lovecraft fan on WP. :D
