I feel guilty for bringing them into the shitshow.

I don't believe that you should feel this way.

The 'Citizens United' supreme court ruling must be overturned in order for things to bounce back especially for common folk. Otherwise, working and lower-middle class people will continue to suffer more and more.

You're not wrong, I just believe it's going to be an uphill struggle to get there. And to be honest, I am a little bit afraid of what it's actually going to take to turn this around.

For my part, I'm doing my best to prepare them. They're too young too understand all of the above, but they get that what's going on right now is simply not okay.
