It’s simple why they won’t do nothing about it in DC other than kabuki theatre. They fear the media circus of demented democrat clowns and they don’t want to upset their buddies across the aisle in their grand country club of exalted perks. Do away with political parties and let every pol run as an Independent.
Now you’ve spoken of a real fear of elites. The elites love to hide behind label. Take away their labels and a whole lot of truth telling might ensue and everyone knows politicians always tell ‘the People’ the truth ... Dottis, enjoyed your post!!!
