Saw your other post where the tiny crustaceans were objecting to your success.
They are smaller than the smallest thing you study.

So the lazy illegals who suck up all our free medical care and just live on the ritzy SNAP benefits while not working are also waltzing into the real estate market, scooping up housing by the millions.
Sure. Let’s go with that.

Oh and by the way, we've had roughly 2M federal employees since the 1940s though our population has more than doubled.
Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

It is time for our Democratic Party to draft and publish a new version of Gingrich’s “Contract with America” possibly named “Democratic Party’s Contract to Save Our Democracy” and get it out in front of our population stating a plan of action to save our democracy if we’re elected a majority ASAP!

Start with the first term, which will get you a head start of somewhere around 500 thousand needless COVID related deaths.
It would be interesting to tally all the deaths he is responsible for.
ICE raid deaths
Illegal internment deaths
Venezuelans
Sick children
Maybe a daily scrolling counter ?

The stupidest but very effective thing the GQP ever said was “We should run the country like a business”
No, we should run it like a non profit foundation. Use resources wisely to do good things for the most people.

Ok. So here’s the plan:
We need about 10 million wild eyed liberals who believe in equality and democracy to become official members of the GOP.
Show up in primaries, volunteer, give some small money and fill out every poll question as a GOP liberal.
And never vote for them in a general election

The defeat of Cuomo is important not just because he was endorsed by Drumpf but because he is EXACTLY the kind of Dem we need to retire- self serving, entitled, amoral, snd oriented to the status quo for the privileged and powerful.
We don’t need blue versions of Drumpf.

What would life be like if the Federal minimum wage had been indexed to the CPI?
What would our national economy look like if billionaires and corporations actually paid proportional tax like wage earners?

I have no idea how, but somehow I am sure there’s a Nigerian Prince who needs money involved in this
At some point we might have to consider the fact that he might be mentally unstable.

Of course as a consequence the Republicans were out of power at the Federal level for 30 years and we recovered and led the world for two generations.
So there’s that.

GOP converted the idea of America as a melting pot of diversity into a nation of suspended isotopes, separated into sealed vials, peering at one another with suspicion.
This is big stupid.
Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

The more the obscenely wealthy and corporations press down, demand, arrange, abuse, and cement their power, the more they ignite opposition.
We are approaching the stage where tearing it all down becomes not just attractive, but required to maintain existence.

For me, the greatest lost opportunity is the Democrats should be mobilizing food banks, support for urgent medical care needs, tapping donors for groceries and making a big damn spectacle of doing it.

I recall my Mom in the early 50s, divorced (😱) from my abusive dad, trying to feed us, pay rent, while getting treated for incurable cancer.
No food stamps. No ADC.
I was too young to know she was starving herself to feed me.
That is happening again in America.

All of these sites can be repurposed for detaining ICE agents when it’s their turn to be screwed
Department of Homeland Security is funneling $10 billion through the Navy in order to construct a sprawling network of migrant detention centers in Louisiana, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Pennsylvania and Utah. A source tells CNN that facilities could hold as many as 10,000 people each.

The arc of justice looks suspiciously like one of those giant bumpy water slides.
I don't know about that. I'd like to think humans made some progress in the 1950s and '60s. Then it started to recess a bit. Fits and starts since then, maybe. Ugh.

Assuming we get Drumpf out of office and regain the White House we will need to leave it unoccupied for a while and use a massive amount of sage to cleanse it of evil.
