The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft.
Know the truth.

Polling: "Do you think the rich have too much political power in the U.S.?"
Yes: 80%
No: 8%
Independent voters are 81%/6% on this; even Trump voters are 68%/18%.
Maybe a political party could lead on this issue.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

The thing about democrats is that they will *always* find some group of people whose oppression they'll justify by allying with fascists.
They will *always* find a way to tell a suffering person "no see that is just the cost of doing politics in the real world sweatie."

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?
Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.
It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

And remember kids, despite changes to Medicare and Social Security to pay for those tax cuts for the rich, those taxes are still being taken out of your paycheck. That is, unless you change your withholding.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

This is right out of the Nazi playbook. The American far right has been responsible for far more violence than the left, yet they're using Kirk's death as justification for a crackdown on their political 'enemies.'
