How do we stop the oligarchy ruling the USA without them ruining your life for going first?
Vote in 60 dem senators and they'll overturn Citizens United, limiting political donations, and they'll tax the rich.
Not really.
Dems are primarily sponsored by the rich and have to align with their interests. Out of two major US political parties, neither one is the party of the people.
HR 1 For The People Act - written by dems, passed by dems twice, blocked by Republicans.
Before that the dems wrote the campaign finance laws in 1995 and 2002 which were the core of the Citizens United Lawsuit in 2007 where SCOTUS voted with a partisan split to allow any sized contribution, even Hillary Clinton was a supporter of undoing Citizens United.
Even if the DNC isn't your ideal peoples party, they are the party who can give you the option. Vote Dem.
