If you think the average American has any real control over what comes out of the White House these days, I have some ocean-front property in Kansas City to sell you.

We can't give up our power just because the situation is difficult. We need to assert as much power as possible. Organize; talk openly about the problem; coordinate plans for voting (yes, I know its early). Pressure politicians. There are things individuals can do, right now. No, it's not enough on our own. But if we don't act as individuals, then we really are screwed.

When something goes wrong in any country, you protest, you take it to the streets. It seems like America doesn’t know how to do that.
