1/ In the 1970s the average American worker had a job with good benefits, could afford to own a house and a car, could afford a yearly vacation, one parent could stay at home if they wanted, and they could send mulitple kids to college.

2/ There’s been a massive theft of public resources into the hands of a tiny few & people have every reason to be outraged. GOP started the theft but Democrats haven’t stopped it. Neither political party should feel proud of itself. People recognize they’ve been betrayed by both.

3/ Are Democrats better? A thousand times yes. But no longer can that be used as a pass. Democrats not standing for what Democrats are supposed to stand for is how we got Trump to begin with & if Democrats don’t act like Democrats again then Trump or someone like him will be back

Please explain exactly how Democrats are better?

No. The democrats aren’t better. Maybe they were before the Clinton administration when they took a sharp right turn. They continued to move right and now are essentially a Conservative party.

Having grown up in that era, let me clarify that a bit. In the 1970s the average white American could afford these things. As it is today, poc and immigrants did not exactly have the same access to resources to afford this.

We are going to get Trump 2 for sure at this point. Dems are just enablers who don't stand for anything when they actually have power.

And yet you still sell the lie that we should prefer dems. Biden is as bad if not worse than Trump. Dems are as bad as Republicans. Let Trump come back. That argument holds no water anymore.

1000x better is like saying it’s ok to stay in an abusive relationship because in public your abuser is sometimes civil, maybe takes you to dinner and they’re in your family. At least the GOP is upfront when they’re going to throw punches and be nasty. Time to resent the deceit.

Two Catholic Workers are being sentenced to prison for *domestic terrorism* - for vandalizing the Dakota Access pipeline. Pray for Jessica Reznicek and Ruby Montoya, heroes of the faith. May God give us 1000 more of them. (Allegedly). ncronline.org/news/earthbeat…

We are close to being a nation of serfs, manipulated by large corporations & the uber wealthy. Time to tax wealth, get corporations out of politics and re-establish the fairness in elections.

Dark money and greed are to blame.
