Democracy is at Risk

America is still a democracy—for now. We still have the power to elect our representatives. But that power is being undermined.

Since the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision in 2010, corporations and special interest groups have had unlimited power to financially influence elections.

Billionaires—not voters—are shaping our political choices.

Consider this:

• Mark Zuckerberg owns Meta.
• Jeff Bezos owns Amazon and the Washington Post.
• Elon Musk owns X (formerly Twitter).
• The Murdoch family owns Fox News.
• And now fundings has been cut to PBS – opposing views are being silenced.

These billionaires own the media we consume—and influence the decisions we make at the ballot box. Unsurprisingly, the choices they promote benefit them, not us.

We are kept distracted by Culture Wars

While billionaires consolidate power and wealth, they keep us fighting over culture war issues—like abortion and immigration.

Why? Because if we’re divided, we won’t unite to challenge them. While we argue, they profit.

This manipulation is not accidental. It’s strategic. And it’s time we started seeing through it.
