    Even Europe is sick of Neoliberalism

    Why doesn't America have a Yellow Vest movement? Could it be that we don't care enough about democracy and rule by We the People enough to fight for it? I can see Ben Franklin asking that question. What is modern America's answer?

    Look people, everything we've been told about how America works is a lie. These are the people really run our country and this is how they do it. Why do you think this stuff is so hard to believe? Yes, both parties are corrupt. What else would you expect from a duopolistic political system?
