which the rich and powerful get and keep power, and wealth.

That is its ONLY function.
Our lives are determined by how successful the 1% are in exerting control - good for them means death, poverty and destruction for us.

Only if EVERY Democrat in Congress had the values and positions of Sen. Warren would we stand a chance of saving this nation from crashing into oblivion - and even then, it would not be easy.

In fighting the right, we have tried logic, reason, civilized debate and compromise. That obviously does not work since they do not respond well to facts and other forms of reality.
We have screamed and voiced our heart-felt opinions in an attempt to reach whatever "humanity" still exists on the right. That obviously does not work since there is no humanity left in the enemy across the aisle.
We have gotten angry, to no avail.
We have cried, with no response from the enemy except ridicule and hatred.

Frankly, I do not see any path forward that enables us to progress to the future we deserve.
The way is blocked and they cannot be reasoned with.

Senator Warren is saying a lot of the correct things.
We will have to wait to see how much influence she has and how much WE really want to change this country.
