Correct. But all of us, not just the left.

History's lesson: when a society's majority loses any way to obtain solutions for its deepening problems while a rich minority enriches itself by buying the gov't, the bonds holding that society together dissolve. The US left must face that reality.

Thanks, Marianne. A serious review of foundations is in order at @DNC. The Party urgently has to restore its meaningfulness to all sectors of society. This would be best achieved if it adopts + affirms #2ndBillOfRights and makes it an all-party goal including all the Americas.

It's almost civil war time because what goes around comes around. You can't export violence forever and expect the chickens to never come home.

I AGREE ... We are "all" loosing our Democracy!

I think @profwolff might have been referring to the 'conceited left' and not 'the left' that you were thinking of. Your conceit Marianne is that you assume 'the left' includes the wealthy folks that erroneously assume that they are moral.

You’re not a leftist. You pretend to be so but carry water for the Establishment.

What/who is he referring to as the US Left? Manchin and Sinema are not left. And yes on your note: "But all of us..."
Replying to @marwilliamson
Most Americans are still in love with capitalism because they think they'll eventually be part of the elite if they work hard enough. They don't want real economic justice because they fear it will destroy their ability to jockey for economic superiority.
