People absolutely do struggle because of a bad economy, and an economy in which wealth is concentrated at the top is a bad economy.

Trickle down economics is a part of the problem.

For the last eighty years, there has been no economy where the poor couldn't have been better off with better services and labor policy.

Wealth concentration is the nature of capitalist economics. You'd think so called leftists would understand this.

We do understand that, that is why we understand that capitalism is by its very nature a bad economic system and we won't allow people like you to gaslight us into pretending it is good.

So what part of that means standing shoulder to shoulder with conservatives to complain about inflation (which was necessary to avoid high unemployment) and help elect a fascist?

Stop lying, we have never stood shoulder to shoulder with Republicans. We have always opposed them.

You do realize there are more viewpoints in this world than Republicans and Democrats don't you?
