Democracy is a pool full uf mud

By: Repeacer

Trust in government is at an all time low because of the polluting factor of money in politics. Democracy is the pool in which we have to swim. Politicians are there to take care of that pool and make sure that it has everything we need to be happy people. Politicians operate in that pool. They should be also swimming in a clear, transparent medium to make democracy work for the people. Now there is no trust and low participation in democracy means we're not going to swim anymore. Why? because there is no trust and someone has pushed us out of the pool. When there is no trust, there is no democracy.

Money is like dirt. It makes things messy. Politicians have chosen to run for prestige, career, or other reasons. Most of them are not working for you. The pool got full of ... "dirt" and that's when things got filthy. Now democracy is not transparent, the pool is full of money and the politicians are full of ..."dirt".

If you want your pool back and bring your friends and family back to swim and have fun in it, you may have to make democracy transparent again. Let's demand from politicians to get out of the mud/money and clean up, while we demand from the corporations to stop pouring mud. Before we can go back in our pool, politicians have to wear some transparency, and keep the corporations at arm length. Accountability makes things run smooth, it's clear and benefits everyone.

Before we vote for the next president, Washington has to fill the pool with accountability. A pool with mud, or empty, won't do it. Sorry! We can't swim without accountability. Those of you pretending to be swimming in an empty pool, moving their arms and kicking left and right and even wearing goggles and flippers, don't fool anybody. It actually looks pathetic.

No water, no swimming. No accountability, no democracy. Let's fix it together! Any questions?
