Such a powerful piece, Ravyne! The system's design lends well to keeping the oppressor and oppressed fixated. It is incomprehensible that a microcosm of our country (politicians) has so much control over our lives. Duality through a two-party system is an outdated means of governing in the 21st century. We need holistic leadership and embedded participation from citizens that spans far beyond voting.

We need to restructure our collective reality, but it requires completely disregarding the status quo indefinitely until a new way of being emerges.
