Fascism feeds on fear, despair and betrayal. It grows when people feel ignored, when politics looks like a game while daily life gets harder. It presents itself as “truth-telling” against elites, even as it protects wealth and power…we must recognise It is a threat to democracy, rights, and lives.

Rather than embracing candidates that spark grassroots enthusiasm and tap into the populist ferment of the American public, establishment Democrats are working to favorexactly the kind of uninspiring corporatists that dug the party’s current hole.

From 2019-2024, Lowe's spent $46.6 BILLION on stock buybacks.
That's enough to give each of its 273k employees a $28k bonus for the next six years.
Instead, it paid its CEO 659x what it paid median employees.
And we STILL think corporate tax breaks will magically trickle down?

I will say there's nothing like working with community IRL that makes it easier to not give a shit about what online liberals think. The people posting day in and day out yelling at the left all day are not doing shit. It's the folks in your communities actually doing the work who matter.

Inflation rose by 22.6% from 2019-2024.
In that same period, the 100 lowest-paying corporations paid their CEOs 34.7% more.
Worker pay didn't even keep up with the rate of inflation.
Those corporate tax breaks will never, ever, ever trickle down.
WE ARE BEING SCAMMED.
