If the powers that be cared one iota about the future of this country they wouldn’t be drowning our young people in endless college loan debt; they’d be providing endless opportunities for free higher education.

The 1965 Voting Rights Act has been gutted by SCOTUS over the last few years, paving the way for voter suppression efforts around the country. We need the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act to counteract the damage. Why can’t Democrats act on this?

The Pentagon is one of the most corrupt aspects of the US government, having little to do with our genuine security needs and everything to do with adding to the profit margin of the military industrial complex. Its whoredom is supported equally by both major political parties.

This. Millions of times over, and for no reason whatsoever except the greed and soullessness that permeates the system.

When you have a fire in your house do you think you should have to show your insurance card to the firemen before they’ll put it out?

Exactly. Make it sound complicated so people think you understand something they don’t.
