The new deal coalition of working class voters plus intellectuals can be brightened to include enlightened college educated individuals in all areas of the country. The college educated group sees through Trump and it’s danger to our society the non-college educate at working class needs education.
Be careful here do not disparage the executive class in general. Remember that Harris carried the college educated, i.e. the executive class not all college educated executives are “enlightened” but there has been a steady growth of liberal liberalism in that group, especially on the coast.
Absolutely correct. Dems need to focus on income inequality and the rise of the oligarchs. Not to abandon cultural issues, such as LBGTQ rights, etc. cannot lose the working class if the issue is income and equality, including healthcare, access minimum wage and so forth, focus the message o
Your right ! But don’t think for a friggin second the racist xenophobic kkk proud boys etc aren’t in this same group ! Along with the Christian right !!!
Fascists Pit Americans Against Americans—To Distract From Their Destruction Of ALL AMERICANS -And The Dismantling Of Democratic Government Institutions Protecting Them From Fascism! Trump’s Nominee’s All Unqualified, Inexperienced- CHOSEN Bc. THEY PROMISE TO DESTROY THE INSTITUTIONS THEY’LL HEAD!!
I can't remember the last time this country was so united, and it only took 1 ceo and 1 motivated person to do it. We are severely overdue for a class war where we push back.
I remember when the corporate powers that be made a concerted effort to switch the We Generation to the Me Generation in the 60s. They know we are powerful when we join forces and turn out and will fight to the death to make sure that doesn't happen again.
Drones, my gosh the drones. Everyone should be scared of the drones.
The drones are the current OTHER.

After buying Christmas stuff, we are not buying any thing. We are saving our money in case we have to leave the country. So let them advertise all they want. We're not buying a damn thing.
Dark Money thinks maga is on their side … but wait till maga understands where their middle class wealth actually went … ⬆️
For Dark Money … the NRA seemed like a good idea at the time … but now the Rabel is armed and dangerous … 🤔 … tiger by the tail?
Being angry is like swallowing poison and expecting another person to die. Instead, use your money like it is vote. Don't give it to assholes anymore. Amazon? Walmart? Fast fashion? Fast food? Cruises? All inclusive resorts? You know what to do
So, here is my tiny show of resistance. I have been a diet coke drinker all my life. I think I was weened onto diet soda. For years, I have been "addicted" to coke zero. After finding out that coke contributed almost 50% of plastic pollution in the world, I stopped cold turkey.
Coca-Cola recently backtracked on their pledge to reduce their plastic pollution by 2030. With trump in office, I'm sure they will slide even further. They also contributed more to the republicans and trump than they did Democrats and VP Harris.* So, bye-bye Coke.
Congrats on quitting the Coke. Shit's no good for you anyway. Don't switch to bottled water; better to get an R.O. filter and a glass/metal/ceramic water bottle to take with you wherever you go. You'll save a ton of $$ too.
Thank you for your great input. I am drinking a lot of filtered water from my fridge. I'm not missing the zero cola. I'm not a big bottle water fan. I'm hoping that every little bit helps.
I'm glad you took it the right way. Almost didn't post, fearing the "don't tell me what to do" factor. I'm a huge advocate for RO filters and pretty much drink only coffee/milk and water.
I value intelligent people making wise suggestions. I know what you mean, though. I have deleted innocuous, sometimes irreverent posts because I was afraid of offending someone. Feel free to suggest away*

Liberals made a huge mistake exalting Gandhi. He was a colonialist appeaser who came along AFTER the fight for India’s independence had been won and it WASN’T by standing outside a building holding a sign. It was FAR more than that. Bhagat Singh was the real hero of India’s independence
Thanks for sharing. I disagree with your diminishing of Gandhi's importance and also the incredible power of his philosophy in action, but you've given me much to ponder.
In the wake of a tragic event, it's imperative to address the growing public discontent with the private healthcare system.
Evidence is clear: a publicly funded healthcare system leads to increased life expectancy and improved overall health outcomes. Here a blueprint @uofcalifornia.bsky.social
The Oligarchs are demonizing poor and impoverished people.
-An active effort to separate all of those in society for empathy.
-A push to ensure those that are down don’t get to bounce back for the simple reason that they are down on their luck.
-Criminalizing poor to fill jails with slave-labor.
I agree with you to be angry but not against people but wrong and destructive opinions, intentions and doings and what contribute to initiate them.
Sadly we must sometimes target people to counteract wrong things.
The Blue’s that flipped, the voters who stayed home no matter the reason, and independents will course correct their decision stand up for democracy and the rights of all to exist.
The front page of a national news site in Canada had about a dozen stories on Luigi. The tactic there was to belittle and minimize the people who understand the issue. All of them spoke about 'people on SM cheer while everyone else is shocked,' a lie, of course. The message? Why try? Why bother?
It's okay, in 6 months the leftists will be too busy getting in fist fights witht he proud boys in portland to go and park their asses in front of the internment camps.
The issue with staying angry is it becomes normalized :/ and no longer carries the same emotional weight. These things absolutely should outrage us, but after a while they become our everyday, and we become accustomed to them.
trump and the maga mob will always be a source of anger for me. They stand for everythng i loath. And the oligarchs/billionaires that trump is putting in the government are even worse because they never knew or wanted to know what a real main street Americn goes though.
I hear HC execs now all have personal security. Seems it would make better biz policy to just do what your company claims it's supposed to do and treat people fairly. Also, pay your fair share of taxes. But really: Medicare for all is the answer.
oligarchs dont even need to do or say much at this point, their job of dividing & scapegoating has long been left in our own hands. 3 minutes ago I saw the standard format post from a liberal that you see 50,000x after every election blaming 3rd party voters for a Dem losing
Until the cult wake up and realize that the people they voted for are working against them, any resistance from the left will be looked at as pathetic. As unlikely as it now seems, it’s gonna take a joint effort to end this trajectory into hell.
I follow the Saturn Promise. I promise I will not harm another or myself, unless it is to keep another or myself from harm. Anyone is allowed to make that promise at any time. Pass it on <3!!!✨
Don't forget some of them are on Democrats too and playing as "centrists" to hold on to the gerontocracy.

Since we know the MSM won't cover what's happening I truly believe our only avenue at this moment is to buy advertising and have short clips broadcast to get out the truth.
Good idea. I was also thinking about places like X, FB, and Truth. I'm not suggesting engagement at all but flooding them with the actual facts. An organized effort to continuously flood the spaces with what is really happening. Again, no engagement, at all...just posts.
Exactly. They had been doing it for a long while against the LGBTQ already. They went after Mexican people, Haitians, and Puerto Ricans. They have a harder time going against anyone not marginalized so they push to divide smaller pieces from the whole. Don't let them.
Such as a poll showing most Americans favor Trump's handling of returning to power... with white nationalist theocrats for the military, and a robust debate on whether polio or fluride should be available to all?
You are totally right. Elon Musk is not our friend, and today I read he wants Trump to get rid of something that requires Tesla to report all the accidents its "self-driving" cars are having. It is truly sad to think this is where we are as a country. Where's Teddy Roosevelt when you need him?
All billionaires are evil! Including the ones who fed into the culture war by supporting Kamala!
Trump-supporting billionaires make a culture war to distract us from the class struggle we all face, and the Democratic billionaires make money off of your rights being taken away!!
24% of people of voting age voted for Trump. Of that group, many were also victims of info suppression and disinfo. Half of the country is NOT with Trump. The size of MAGA is intentionally exaggerated to terrorize us. It's propoganda.
Many of the people didn't vote because they know the oligarchy already robbed us of our democracy. They say their life will still suck regardless of winner. I don't personally agree with not voting, but the point is, these people are our allies against the oligarchy too, they aren't with Trump.
Huh? Of course it was close a votes could have turned it. I'm addressing the people that didn't choose to vote, which is a large segment of the pop. and are allies in the class war. My point being half the country isn't on Trump's side, it ignores the large number of people that sat out.
I believe you're right. Plus no matter what the truth is the MAGA's have been programmed to not believe their ears or eyes. Only Trump can give them the real truth. It started with alternate facts.
For the record, I have not believed the 'other' was my enemy since I was an adolescent during Reagan's admin unless that 'other' was the gullible fool following the oligarchs' propaganda painting me as the enemy without question.
I think this is why the la times owner is trying to put a “far left to far right meter” on all of their stories. These billionaire media owners are worried “the class divide anger” is finally taking over “L versus R”
Why else would he select that specific “measurement” to classify articles?

Oligarchs own Big Media.
Oligarchs bought this past election and got Trump in again.
Oligarchs will get their massive tax breaks from Trump when their current breaks expire this year.

Don't be distracted.
The oligarchs are the owning class.
Government Austerity favors them.
Tax Cuts Favor them.

We are simply the people.

They're all multi-billionaires who owe their positions to corporate lobbying/donations. Why should they give a damn about you or me?

Fun. Something you do that brings you joy. Rather than taking away energy, it almost feels as though it brings it back.
Enemies hate when you're having fun. Enjoy
