Democrats please explain your plan to make life affordable for working class Americans. Worker pay adjusted for inflation has increased 19% since 1980. Worker productivity has increased 93% since 1980. Where did all that money from increased productivity go? CEO PAY INCREASED 1316% since 1980. WTF

James Carville is the Trump of the Democrats establishment. He has no filter and says the quiet truths out loud. The Democrat establishment would rather have Republican fascism and racism than have their corporate power and money threatened by Democratic Socialist friendly candidates.

We (society, bosses, us) fool ourselves into thinking by recording more data points we're doing more, when actually, truth is we're doing less. Less actual work, less social relationship building, & less rigorous critical thinking. Perhaps all of this is preparation for AI to take over our jobs. Hmm

Why is the further left capturing the young? It is because speaking the truth matters. Racism, colonialism, and imperialism are driven by the same engine of white privilege.

In the US we pretend that other societies use their wealth and military to conquer others, but in the last century that is no longer true. While other societies have evolved, the US has devolved. The US is an anachronism.

We live in a country that disappears people, kills lawful protesters, and invades other countries to enrich the powerful elite. So of course the opposition Democratic Party uses its platform to attack people who stand up for oppressed people, oppose war and advocate for healthcare for all. Hmmm.

Macklemore reminded me of how angry and disgusted I was with Biden and Harris for facilitating the Palestinian genocide. The Democrats took a Robert Kraft or Ed Sheeran path to address the Palestinian genocide back then. Sadly Democratic leadership continues this shameful behavior.

Pink expressing fear hearing Macklemore say "Free Palestine" is odd. Pink referred to the genuine long history of antisemitic violence. Racism is real. So I have to wonder, does Pink have the same fear hearing "Free Germany" (Holocaust) or "Free Russia" (Pogroms)?

It is undeniable that Palestinians are not free, are victims of war crimes, are victims of racism and deserve recognition. It is not anti-anybody to stand up for an oppressed people.

Hakeem Jeffries had a news conference. After nearly two years of Trump 2, he doesn't want to get into any plans or ideas on how to fight back. Is he really clueless? Or unable to think in public or stressful situations? Or paid to not do anything that might change the corruption? Or is it dementia?

Corporate centrist Democrats, understand the midterm elections are about rebuking fascism, racism & lawlessness? All Democrat candidates need our support in the effort to stop Trump. Attacking progressive candidates or candidates with socialist leaning policies is empowering the Trump Republicans.

Now that the corporate Democratic establishment is saying don't vote for progressive Democrat candidates it is now okay to admit "vote blue no matter who" is dead. The message is that keeping progressives out of the Democratic Party is more important than defeating Republicans (see Rahm Emanuel).

So tired of Democratic consultants calling people who support a candidate a "surrogate" in an attempt to hold the candidate responsible for what an unauthorized supporter says. These smear attempts on progressive candidates only damage the integrity of the Democratic Party.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

The evidence is in. The Trump administration shows us daily they are corrupt, immoral and ignorant. It's good to remind us of their complete failure to govern. However, the real work needed is to reform Democrats who keep losing to these people. To win Democrats must stop attacking their allies.

Trump can't change Lake Ontario to Lake America. The Great Lakes are H. O. M. E. S., HAMES makes no sense. It's almost as if Trump doesn't understand or anticipate the consequences of his decisions. Oh, yeah, right.

Is the corporate Democratic leadership, Schumer & Jeffries, a basket of deplorable racist islamophobes? Their reaction to Al Sayed's primary win in Michigan reveals racism. I don't know these people. I want to know the motivation for attacking their own. I do know Dixiecrats & I'm getting deja vu.

The number on issue is getting money out of politics. Most corrupt Trump is the poster boy. Political consultants naturally are the operative definition. Elon Musk is an inevitable result. The disconnect between the Democratic leadership and regular workers is the system lubricant. Bye buy money!

By what logic is the Democratic leadership, as shown by Hakeem Jeffries interview on Meet the Press, opposing Democrat candidates in the coming midterm elections? The people have chosen their candidates, so get behind them and defeat the Republicans! There are only 2 choices, Democrat or Republican

Tips to ending wars and reducing military spending. 1. Stop starting wars. 2. Quit the wars you started without trying to win. Just stop. 3. Stop making the war industry critical to the economy. 4. Have influence in the world by building things rather than destroying things.

Democrats must speak against the excessive allocation of resources to the military-industrial complex and end the 'neverending' wars that are used to justify this expenditure of resources. Support using resources for health care, education, childcare, housing, living wages, & healthy environments.

Corporate-billionaire power over our politics depends on using money to influence/corrupt politicians. Democrats must get money out of politics by legislating an end to Citizens United, stop taking corporate/large donations, address false PAC ads and end the consultant-poll management of campaigns.

Politics is the exercise of power and the allocation of resources. Currently in the US power resides with the wealth class,not with the working class, and resources support the military-industrial complex. Corporate Democrats must express opposition to the current status quo to gain political power.

Watched Hakeem Jeffries on Meet the Press. What drug is he taking? It's some kind of hallucinogen but I can't figure out what drug is powerful enough that he wakes up every day living in 2017. How has he missed the last 9 years? Whatever it is, Jeffries is unfit for office.

Strait of Hormuz is insignificant to the US (hint: Israel is the reason we care). At most 2% of our petroleum product goes through the strait. We get all our fertilizer (N-P-K) needs met by the US and Canada. AND, the $1B a day we spend on the Iran war could buy a lot of renewable energy and gas.

Time for new thinking about the Middle East. The US military is used to protect markets.We are not dependent on the Middle East for products. Only 2% of oil products come from there. Fertilizer comes from Canada and US producers. The $1B a day spent on the Iran war could buy renewables. Think peace

Democratic leadership, there are roughly 24 million American adults who are millionaires and there are roughly 240 million American adults who are working class. If you are truly the party for the people it is clear the Democrats should be the party of the working class. There is power in numbers.

The Democratic Party isn't a "big tent," it's a "community" of diverse people. The party's task is to provide a space of inclusion & equity. A community accepts people who don't think like me, who don't share all my values & don't look like me. A community doesn't attack people for differences.

Please, politicians on the left and right stop treating elections like a game, strategizing your values as though your core beliefs move around like pieces on a gameboard. Stand up for your beliefs and stand up for others who share your beliefs win or lose. That's genuine. That's honest. We see you

Pick a side. You are for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) OR you are for bigotry, greed and racism (BGR). There is no middle ground between DEI and BGR.

DNC Centrist Democrats are feckless corporate tarts who prefer Republican support for corporations over workers. Democratic leaders work harder to defeat progressives than it fights Trump Republicans. Be smart Democrats. Voters in progressive urban populated areas prefer progressives. Let's win!

If presidential corruption, ICE killing Americans, White House destruction, Iran war without end, Americans dying from preventable disease, global warming increasing heat and storm intensity and subverting democracy in the US by rigging elections is background noise in media, what matters?

People generally do not understand how renewable energy benefits their lives. Political & business interests support the power of a fossil fuel monopoly. Solar and battery power is so cheap & simple now only government regulation & effective marketing against renewable energy stand in the way.

In contrast to the US most people in the world understand that for less than the price of the average new car a family can purchase an EV and a solar power generation system that provides free energy for the household and the daily commute. In the US this is considered crazy or heresy.

Young Don & Kyle Kulinski spoke truth. Republicans say stop being Black, Brown, gay, trans, etc. & you can't do that because it's physically impossible, so they persecute, deport & kill you. Democrats say stop talking like that, which you can easily do, but Republicans act like they're being killed

Democratic Party advertising is out of touch and out of date. They ask for money by saying they have a "voter registration" problem. No. That's not it. The problem is Democrats keep pushing a Clinton era product that few people want. Would you buy a phone☎️ today from that era? Or policies either?

The world sees US as cruel & greedy. We go to war to protect economic interest or to violently express pain. We built an economy on a military industry we have to use to preserve jobs. We're the guy who beats his kids because his boss didn't give him more money. History shows we were doomed to fail
