Interestingly enough, in the original book “Oz” was a symbolic representation of “DC.”

A giant FUCK YOU to all of the Democratic Party leaders who keep shutting Jasmine Crockett from leadership positions.

The light at the end of the Trump tunnel I focus on are the amendments we will need to add to the Constitution once the orange turd is gone. We need to shore up birthright citizenship, and guarantees for due process; and no convicted felons should be eligible for any office.

Casting the struggle as authoritarian capitalism vs. democratic capitalism is a much easier argument to understand and a much easier argument to win. I would appreciate your thoughts. End/

Authoritarian capitalism limits the benefits of capitalism to the oligarchs who will always rally around an authoritarian leader. Authoritarian capitalism is restrictive, and destructive to society at large. 5/

Democratic capitalism allows the benefits of capitalism to help the vast majority of Americans through universal healthcare, universal daycare/pre-k, a living wage; free college/university tuition. Much of Europe already identifies as democratic capitalist, NOT socialist. We need to do the same. 4/
