Cash Dominates Political Reality
Cash influences every aspect of politics, limiting the likelihood of ambitious proposals like Medicare for all. Achieving even a fraction of proposed agendas, such as 25-35% by key figures, would be considered a significant victory. The political landscape is fraught with corporate influence from drug companies, oil companies, and other powerful donors, creating a disconnect between public expectations and political realities. Effective change hinges on the urgent need to eliminate money's grip on politics; without such reforms, progress across various issues remains unattainable.
