money out of our politics. It will keep getting harder and harder to win unless we DO SOMETHING!
How do we make those corporations hurt????
I feel like boycotts have worked before.
We can turn off the news, which I think a huge majority of us have already done.
We can tell the truth far and wide.
Use Art to message truth: posters, films, pop-up staged performances. Post truth on right wing sites.

(38,453 posts)When 10 corpos own 90% of all food products made in America what do you do? Same with cars & appliances & cellular service. The corpos are so big that if they piss you off they know that their competitor has also pissed one of their customer's off, so like dance partners, they just switch them around.
Corporate rule is where we're headed. Our electoral process is an obscene, corrupt mess.

I will no longer buy it, even though I love it so much! I emailed them and told them all about my decision too. The other item is Miller Beer. It's easy to switch beers, so no big deal. Many companies I know are ok with supporting trump and project 2025, I will no longer buy from them!

(1,285 posts)Big corporations are usually global or have other businesses as customers or get government contracts. Even then, many have essentially monopoly or oligopolic control on markets. In addition, in many industries, just three groups own a significant portion of their shares: Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street (who have more than $26 trillion of assets under management.). Punish one corporation by buying from another? No sweat if the other corporation is also partly owned by them.
Corporate Capitalism has figured out how to be able to ignore you as much as possible. We the people should never have allowed them to get god-like powers.
