Both Parties will fully exploit the planet and the worlds people while tossing out domestic scraps to keep the American people passive. Petitioning the plutocrats will do nothing to change a thing, they do not represent human kind, animal or planet. How many people will starve and struggle while we fear resistance and taking power? As long as The People believe they need the putocrats, they will never notice WHERE change is sourced and maintained from, they will remain OVERTHROWN while essentially the same old fuedalism reigns instead of The People.
No, it can't be reformed (restrained by plutocrats). Why would they restrain their power source - money? Money creates and maintains power - and the power belongs in the hands of The People where it can not be fully monopolized without restraint and resistance.
Conscience is actually abundant when we think in terms of how we behave towards our direct neighbors and community, it's when we give our conscience's away and abandon it in the care of representatives and national power that we collectively go blind, forget our duties to one another and allow gross neglect and injustice. Rampant violence is NOT the norm of the population, it's the norm of those that are counting on people to be passive to towards them... ...On goes the cycle of assault and oppression to planet, animal, and human kind by those who know they are unrestrained and move without the conscience that has been cultivated in others and other systems of thought.
