Look at how far they've fallen. From heros to the worst party in history that wants to enslave everyone.

Republicans were originally in support of the Republic. Now they seem to want to destroy it.

Over the years there were political parties that had run their course and eventually disappeared or reinvented themselves to fit the demands of the time. It’s time again.

We don't REALLY have parties any more. More like funnels of corporate and billionnaire money to get policies that help them accumulate wealth & manipulate the working class and the poor.

Need to get back to democratic processes.
The 95% need to unite to learn what's happening & demand better.
