Would you support a populist coalition org in WV prioritizing issues like minimum wage, saving PEIA, taxing large landholding companies, & eliminating money from politics, but without taking stances on social issues? Would you work with someone on the opposite side of your social issues?

WV was once the tip of the spear for an ambitious movement to eliminate all poverty in America once and for all

Every family here had a picture of FDR or Kennedy in their home

I saw that potential too when Bernie won all 55 counties in the 2016 primary. If Dems prioritized poverty, imo they’d win

The setback with bluesky is it’s a left of center bubble.

The benefit is the same as what truth social had.

An organizing medium outside the line of sight of opponents.

Only rather than scheming up coups this could be a planning medium to save the judicial and legislative branches.

Trump’s authoritarianism is enabled by the Trump v US decision. Stating he is immune from law breaking so long as it’s through official channels

That’s gotta go if we’re gonna save the republic. That demands a war w/ the Supreme Court to force it to take its power back against the executive branch.
