“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate growth of private power to the point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That in essence is fascism - ownership of govt by an individual, group, or any other controlling private power.” - FDR

Biden is technically and even ideologically to the right of Reagan. It's a fact. If Americans did the research instead we'd have universal healthcare, monthly survival checks and a green new deal. I'm so glad I left the Democrats whose voters rely on blind faith and propaganda.

The erosion of a democratic State begins when a country's essential services are sold off to private enterprise. The proceeds are then used to lower taxes on the wealthy in return for political funding and media support. Great wealth owns USA and the country gets deeper in debt.
