@Ken U Belevitt you are supposed to be a "conspiracy theorist" There are only a few controlling all of the broadcasting companies, radio, TV everything out there.

 

[Acton Roux]

well, the need for french democracy is marked somewhat by an event where the aristocriacy was pulled into town squares and beheaded.

That happened to him in part because he funded your American revolution.

 

[Lucy]

I don't know about outside the U.S. but inside the U.S. yeah

I step out for Indian food and I come back to a societal roudtable

There's no point in voting anymore. It's the ones with the most money that get into politics.

This I can’t agree with you on. The vast majority of the time, yeah, money wins. But we’re starting to chip away at that, ever so slightly. Case in point, AOC.

 

[Lucy]

AOC?

 

[Ken U Belevitt]

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

voting is also a way to mitigate damage. We’d be in much better shape if more people (specifically, in WI/MI/PA/FL) had gotten out and voted for Hillary instead of Jill Stein

 

[Ken U Belevitt]

the miner's canary of representative democracy

 

[Morgan]

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.

She reminds me of Athen's first female governor, Dora Bakoyannis

 

[Lucy]

see Jackie this is what always gets me.
