100% agree. The only way to enact any meaningful change is to put the power back in the hands of the people, especially given the US's insane, borderline anti-democratic, 2 party political system. Both sides are effectively completely captured by the wealthy elites and entirely beholden to their corporate / wealthy donors, lobbyists and PACs.

Its why neither the Democrats nor Republicans really ever make any significant, meaningful changes that would materially improve the lives of working class people in big ways.

Neither party really represents the working class, and they'll never do anything to restrict the power or reduce the wealth of the rich folks they actually work for, so until corporate (Wealthy elite) money is purged from politics, it's just going to be more of the same for the foreseeable future.
