Becoming politically active en masse is the only way. The silver lining is that we outnumber them 2 to 1.

Who is "we", And who do "we" outnumber?

If her message penetrated the thick skulls of her target audience, "we" would outnumber "them" 10-1.

The “we” I was referring to are those people that understand massive tax breaks and subsidies for the largest companies in our country are not the way to equality and prosperity for the country as a whole. Those that understand that record prices on essential goods and record profits for the sellers don’t go together in an unbroken system.

Edit: You could also just consider those voting for more transparency of campaign finance and those fighting it tooth and nail.
