This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by our economy? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.
This is why we must fix the system.

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.
Getting big money out of politics.
Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare...
This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.
Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.
Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”
Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income.
A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income.
Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?

Because of the pay gap, women have lost out on more than $60 trillion in wages since 1967.
Yes, trillion.
On an hourly basis, women were paid 18.0% less on average than men in 2024.
We must ensure fair wages for all.

The Top 10% of Americans own 60% of the nations wealth
This is unsustainable, this is a threat to our democracy, this is not fair to the working and middle class of this country
We need to have a more fair tax system, get money out of politics, unionize the workplace

Over the past 30 years the U.S.'s top 1% got richer, and now hold nearly a third of the nation's wealth
Families in the bottom 50% of America's wealth ladder saw their control of the country's assets sit at 6% for the past 30 years.

There IS a left-wing agenda, and it’s to prioritize compassion over greed. Kindness isn't a limited resource.

To recap, the Republican Party has opposed:
-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Tax increases on corporations & the rich
-The expanded Child Tax Credit
-Student debt relief
Doesn't sound like the party of the working class to me.
