Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Craziness
NEITHER of these seems to be coming from the Democratic Party. #1) SOMEONE on the House floor should, daily, spit back the constant 'Radical Left' language, and on the working class damage!!!!
Judgment is coming my friend.
We the people, by majority and electorial vote are getting exactly what we asked for.
These are the "pull yourself up by your own bootstrap people." Remember?
Or is that only supposed to apply to non-whites?
They have their NASCAR, their Orange skinned orangutan president, black mascara VP and AFRIKANER-NAZI, drug addict, tech lord. Be happy.
His words, not mine.
I don't think people realise what kind of pressure cooker we're faced with.
Or maybe some of the haves do realise and are more than aware.
That's why the efforts to deflect the blame and the focus away from them is in full swing.
Culture wars as distraction.

Why doesn't the MAGA crowd understand this simple point?
It is self-evident.
Elon is worth ~ $380 billion, much from government contracts.
Countervailing power (unionization)
Collective shareholder activism
Restorative regulatory overlay and antitrust enforcement
When have they vetoed a corporate merger? The atrocious media landscape we see bending a knee to Trump, was in part, due to Dems allowing endless mergers.
Love how all these issues are discussed AFTER Dems lose power & thus they play victim.
The Democrats hate liberals who demand better economic parity. You didn't see Democrats building mass public housing, did you?

Time for Democratic Party to reach out to Your allies around the world.
Show joint press conferences with Canada, Mexico, the EU, the UK and others with whom you want to cooperate on peace & trade i.a.
A bonus is that DonaldTrump will go crazy !
They're ONLY concerned with their own lives. Clearly. So maybe this could be the opportunity to coalesce the right and left against their shared enemy.
Making shit great again has a shelf life.
I only know its basic premise, but such an irony seems a bit in line with Thomas Frank's, "What's the Matter with Kansas?"
1) "They have our oil and their land!"
2) "Well you know, perception is reality."
I challengeed both, but his heart and mind proved impenetrable. 😑
It’s easy to con someone when they are in crisis
The military could be designing and building its own equipment at a fraction of what it pays civilian companies. But Congress won't let it.
is what people won’t accept because
“of course the CEOs and billionaires wouldn’t do anything to hurt ME!” 🙄
Whiteness.
Deal with whiteness & then you can get to class. Until then, you're talking to white ppl.

Relevant study.
it's all about selling democracies to friends. ^^

Find your local protest and show up.
Only taking to the streets.
A REVOLUTION would do it.
Nobody learns from history.
a blow at her glory
Down, down, with the traitor
that dares to defile
The flag of her stars and
the page of her story!
By the millions unchain'd who
our birthright have gained
We will keep her bright
blazon forever unstained!

Brains and courage can get you even further, though. That, to them, is unforgiveable.
Result? Work to Live. Pay to Die.
From now on isolationist politics will make it worse.
Trillions end up offshore.
The rich and powerful have systematically robbed, manipulated and killed Americans.
Time to eat the rich.
Otherwise, we will be having this fight again and again.
(Of course, this is not the only thing needed)
Why do rich people shoplift?
Thrill. Endorphins.
What if billionaires are just like that.
Just have mental health issues they are trying to resolve with money?
