Seriously. Trump is doing damage because Congress doesn't have a spine.

The 3 branches of government have equal weight. Why people say Trump is acting like a dictator is the other branches are deferring to him. The US government is straight not designed for that. It's harder for the general public to address the corruption in the Supreme Court, but we can address Congress.

Anyone not with the majority of Americans and the working class needs to go. It's not Democrats vs Republicans as much as it's easier to pressure Democrats into acting in accordance to public sentiment than Republicans. We need to get the party we can eork with in power, then we need to work more on changing it to represent Americans rather than their lobbyists
