FDR once bragged to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that the richest people in the nation hated him and “I welcome their hatred.”
Just weeks later, he was re-elected with 61% of the vote in a 523-8 blowout in the Electoral College.
Voters *like* politicians who make the right enemies.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

in the past month alone, Gillibrand has
1) stood with Trump to criticize congestion pricing
2) defended with serial sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo
3) supported giving Trump and Elon authority to impound funds.
she might just be the lowest WAR Dem in the senate

What one should be doing at this moment is rallying the base and trying to get low-information voters to pay attention. Instead, Schumer is trying to play to Republicans because that's all that Democrats ever do, despite the fact Republicans will never vote for them.

So after completely imploding nationwide, losing the popular vote for the first time in forever, there’s no leadership changes?! Just the same uninspiring milquetoast centrists that got us into this mess? Have some shame and let the new blood actually fight for people.

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist

The Democratic party will continue to lose far, far into the future because their clueless 70+ members are never going to get out of the way until they pass away. They do not care about winning. They only care about insider trading and enriching themselves.

One reason people insist that you use the proper channels to change things is because they have control of the proper channels and they’re confident it won’t work. - Jon Stone
The Ohio Supreme Court has nullified the $650 million judgement that multiple counties won against Big Pharma over the opioid crisis.
The court ruled that the state's product liability law prohibits counties from bringing public nuisance claims against pharma corporations.

There is no moral justification for this extraordinary level of inequality.
It's distorting politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

I don't think the business elites understand just how much they're hated. Today's assassination and rampant celebration of it is a window into America's soul. I think it's going to send shockwaves among top CEO's who will now spend exhorbitant amounts on security, further isolating them from society
