Just a dog dad trying to live a better life. More of a socialist than a democrat, but will take what I can get. Everyone deserves to have a good life.

I don't think this has been reposted enough. Everyone needs to see it.
Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

One of me mostly MAGA friends that I shared this with laughed. Made me feel like there's hope. He hadn't seen it since FOX doesn't show it.

Am I the only one who thinks the #50501 protests should be done as a toga party?
I mean, who doesn't love a toga party, and thinking about Caesar's death, it just seems to work.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Nice uplifting message. More empathy and understanding. While I always hope for everyone to live with love and harmony, disagreements will happen. With more empathy, you disagreement is less likely to turn into hate.
I love this from @thejenniwren.teamlh.social !! So many people lack empathy for their fellow humans. Don’t fall into that abyss! You can be snarky (me😁) and yet be empathetic. Embrace what another person may be experiencing, remembering, feeling, and dealing with.
Uplifting Resolution 2 from linguist George Lakoff & journalist Gil Duran involves empathy.
Empathy means putting yourself in another person’s position & opening your mind to view & feel the world from their perspective. Cultivating empathy increases emotional intelligence & communication skills💙

There are a lot of really worthwhile thoughts in this thread and the comments. Definitely worth the read.
Dems, I Think We’re Missing Something…
Do you remember how Democrats used to refer to large sections of the U.S. as ‘flyover country’? Somewhere along the way, we realized that by using that phrase, we were canceling voters—making them feel unimportant and unheard. So, we stopped using it.

There are many people in our country who will pay for this with their lives, and not by fighting, but by being marginalized because their way of life is not acceptable to a minority that have taken control.

This is not leadership. This is not how you treat people. This is not what our country is about.
Spread love and compassion, not this bigoted hate.

Instead of Canada becoming the 51st state, the US should consider becoming an 11th province.
Americans would get universal healthcare, parental leave, sensible gun control and fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy.
