AOC: Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids, and that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us and we're taking the reins

I've noticed that the government really doesn't care, whether we are unhappy with things that they are doing... Soon, they will be telling US what THEY are demanding. We are no LONGER a democracy.

image of a partial page from the novel Southern Man by Greg Iles 

"I watched in disbelief as businessmen voted for a repeat bankrupt, laborers for a boss infamous for stiffing his workers, evangelicals for a serial adulterer, women for an admitted sexual assaulter, patriots for a draft dodger who would sell his country's secrets for trivial gain, educated men for an ignoramus.  But they did so with fierce gladness in their hearts. Because what their chosen one had done was open Pandora's Box---yes, the old one, filled with ancient calamities of race hatred and rage and cruelty and bloodlust and infinite greed--- and hell them that these things were the remedy for all their grievances, that all their anger was justified, and most important: None of what ailed them was their own fault, or ever had been.

In the abstract, I completely agree. But so much of the problem is the media ecosystem, and that goes well beyond something any political party can fix. But "how do we create a better informed citizenry?" is a key question we need to be asking.

Also worth noting that it doesn't matter how much these billionaires are "worth" if they don't pay taxes anyway. Bigger argument to be made if they move their actual companies, but many billionaires rely on subsidies & state support for employees, so again it's unclear how much is lost if they move.
