They Still Don't Get It

The public doesn't want to swap a Democrat for a Republican, they want actual regime change, which would require firing people down to mid-level bureaucrats and major media outlets.
Imagine a major news organization having to fire most of their reporters because they don't know anyone who is in power in DC, and the people in power don't like them and refuse to talk to them. Then you have an idea of the level of regime change required. This isn't a solution, but a lot of the anger would go away. -- Unorthodoxy

A number of summary executions of bureaucrats on all levels, trial lawyers, and community organizers of any vintage would work much, much better, but you take what you can get, I guess.

Your Say

It isn't a zero sum game. You can have both, the community organizers and the politicians. For good measure, all the editors, Poobah reporters and rewrite goofballs get tossed into the shitpool too. Since they all seem to know one another, they'll have much to talk about while waiting to drown.

Yes, the problem runs up and down government and culture.

No, you're not going to "fire" them all.

You don't have to. These aren't deep thinkers. They are acting on self interests. As Milton Friedman said, they way to get things done is not to elect the "right people," it's to make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing.

Focus on that.
