At best we have a yo-yo of a system. More so it kind of reminds me of this biblical passage "45 Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”
My interpretation of this in relation to our political system is for the most part politicians are to one degree or another corrupted by the system itself, the system being a metaphor for the demons.
We aren't going to find relief, even if we do get that occasional progressive candidate in office. Whatever good he or she may do will quickly be undone as the pendulum swings the other way, and swing the other way it will. It is a product of the system that is unavoidable.
So if we really want remedy we are going to have to work on changing some of the underpinnings of the system. In essence we need to stop giving our power away to fallible individuals and decide what's best for ourselves. And to do that we are going to have to increase certain elements that already exist in the system such as #Intiative_Referendum_and_Recall, both on the state and national levels. And for this to truly be effective we're going to have to have a #separation_of_money_and_state on a more expansive level, else it will become the populace, more so that it already is, that are unduly influenced by these #Large_Monetary_Interests.
These goals are totally doable, and will do much to ameliorate an intolerable situation. But there is hope. Which is why we continue to try.... and ultimately why we will succeed.
