If they gave $2k/mo. til Covid ends, raised min. wage, passed Med4All, gave free college & cancelled the college loan debt, they’d be sailing to an easy victory. They’d rather lose then repair the fundamental economic injustice now built into the system. nytimes.com/2021/10/08/opini…

The disrepair that exists for most of us is also disempowerment and I believe *that* is what motivates the ruling class more even than profit. They do not want a generally empowered public and they tie us up financially and within the courts and carceral system

Exactly. Defending the system itself is far more important to liberals than the kind of real progress or even repair that the left wants. So is denying us a win. "Nothing will fundamentally change," after all. And why not? The Corporate Dems make plenty of money by losing.

Only actual economy can provide for human need. Corrupted finance to bribe is not the product humans need to survive.

Nothing would be produced in this scenario, you think you have shortages now?

You are exactly the kind of privileged progressive operative that Shor is warning about. Giving free stuff to people doesn’t play well with swing voters at all but keep doing what fails. The US is not Denmark.

If we had done that from the beginning of Covid the threat would be done by now and it would no longer be necessary.
