Pushing back against overreach by American capitalism is a patriotic tradition. It’s why we have child labor laws. It’s why we have unions. It’s why we have financial & safety regulations. Government “of the people, by the people & for the people” is not some radical leftist plot

All these laws were compromises to an angry working class rising up organized in rebellion. They got passed because their bosses were afraid of revolution. Are our bosses afraid of us now? Are we organized? Where then will our power come from? Moral outrage? Voting ain't it.

Money in politics and voter suppression is how the will of the people is fundamentally obstructed at this point. But a massive wave of voter participation in spite of that is central to the transformation.

Our health & safety regulations are diminishing quickly under this Administration. Danger is upon us greater than it should be. Not acceptable 🙏🌎🙏

It seems "the people" originally translated to "white male landowners not of noble birth", but good to see progress being made.

I'm sorry, you were saying something about it not being a radical leftist plot? This is from the person in charge of healthcare policy on a candidate you support.

I do NOT know what you mean precisely - capitalism should be free from UNJUST gov regulation- as SOME REGULATIONS are what caused MANY PROBLEMS & allowed MAFIAS to get set up - example is how STATES limit CANNABIS or COMMUNICATIONS permits - creating wealth in hands of a few!

I don't hate Trump, the current administration or Republicans ... However, I do think it's time to call a spade and spade ... The current administration has killed and hospitalized hundreds of American citizens with its inaction and by dumping this problem on to the States.
