They know. They just insist that their ideology is all that matters and everyone should just “shut up and follow” and somehow it will all work out. This is what established politicians (read as in this case: establishment democrats/career politicians) standby. We know this doesn’t work.

This is why people need to start voting for actual progressives. Look at what they say versus what they vote for. Compared to who is challenging them.

Then match it with the outcomes of those voted on policies. Is it so hard? Because I know a good amount of people can’t seem to even bother.

Add in the bit of, “how do you know the challenger will actually be faithful on their promises?”. Well, clearly the status quo (aka, the same person you elect in) isn’t going to make the change you want, so why keep them?

We can agree that everything you mentioned is bad. But why can’t all of it be regulated all at once together?

I think we already know the answer to it and it’s summed up in one word - corruption. With nuance it would be along the lines of perversion of a system meant to be fair - but those with power and wealth are absolutely playing dirty.
