The political world is changing rapidly. What the establishment has learned, what the Democratic establishment, the Republican establishment, the media establishment, is the world is not quite what they thought it was.

The question is, how do you stop the power elite from doing as much damage to you as possible? That comes through movements. It's not our job to take power.
