Unless you are among the uber wealthy -- wealthy enough to control communication channels -- it's very hard to change the political system.

Today, many Americans consume their information from social media and an shrinking number of "traditional" media sources that are largely controlled by a few entities.

It is very difficult to affect discourse in a meaningful way that can then move policy by getting people to vote.
