1/ Over the last 40 years there has been a massive transfer of wealth into the hands of 1% of Americans. Productivity has gone up but wages have not, as companies have felt justified in ripping off workers as though their lives did not matter.

2/ The cruel neglect of masses of people’s survival needs during the pandemic has been a natural extension of how the system had been working even before. Incremental change will not fix this. We need a fundamental disruption of the political & economic status quo.

3/ The election of Biden doesn’t mean the emergency is over. Trump was a symptom, not a cause of the underlying emergency & it is still with us. WH & Congressional Dems will take a quick sharp turn towards economic justice, or fascism will come to America & this time it will stay

I’m still heartbroken the 2020 ticket wasn’t Sanders/Williamson

America need to veer to the left. Not Communism or extreme socialism but empathy and fairness. Free health care and decent living conditions should be a right.

Enabled by a systemic construct and value chain ie bankers, enablers, public servants [Politicians] etc who profit on their investments; ROI and the byproduct is wealthy Founders who are billionares on paper. Explains the disconnect in performance of capital markets vs economy.

Every 4 years politicians talk a good game but nothing ever changes. They are in Washington to line their own pockets, not represent the people. Oh, but it will be different THIS time, right? GTFO

Biden. Check the record. He joined the Reagan Revolution in the 80s and jumpstarted the 40yr Neoliberal race to the bottom. He could therefore run for president in 1988 and be VP in 2008. An acceptable right-wing austerity hawk & social conservative Christian bigot.
