A great person, as far as I know. π
And if your policies and actions do not show you've got the back of the working-class, you not only won't get my money, you won't get my vote. I'm tired of being a pawn on a chess board.

Of course, another cave in by Democrats. Talk us to death, but don't actually stand strong when needed.

He is not well. The stupidity spewing from his mouth is embarrassing. Worse is republicans are letting him rant with a few nut jobs agreeing with him.

The wealthy and the republicans do not care about you, your situation, or your family. Stop backing them. They are not looking out for you. Never have. Never will.

I try hard, in my heart, not to hate. I do not know what else to call what I feel right now as the republicans and Trump inflict gross incompetence and avoidable hardship on the American people.

Yes, Democrats do need to get organized. Get a success message out. Get behind the working-class and middle-class. I think the focus should be on 4 pillars.
1. Work and income stability.
2. Universal healthcare.
3. Affordable housing.
4. Secure Social security, pension, and retirement.

It's long been known that grades and test scores don't predict career success, or much of anything beyond later grades and test scores. Now a new metaanalysis of 117 studies confirms that college (let alone high school) grades are very poor predictors of subsequent job performance: is.gd/6J8kza

Dont know the whole story here from the short clip. So, I assume this is at a town hall meeting. No one stood up to surround and defend this woman. They just let security grab her. Strength in numbers would have had the security back down.

It's up to the citizens to act as well. You aren't helpless. An easy thing to do is contact your elected officials with clear talking points. Talk with your neighbors and friends.Go to town hall meetings. Participate in a national economic day of NO spending, like the one coming up on Feb. 28.

A new law signed by Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah prohibits unions from negotiating wages and other terms for teachers, firefighters, police officers and all other public employees, joining just two other states that have banned collective bargaining in the public sector.
