If the Democratic Party would have offered, fought for, and actually delivered on real progressive polices and stop working as corporate puppets the GOP would be a dead party walking. The fact the GOP is even competitive is a testament to Democratic leadership incompetence.

USA history shows the toxic elites never “offer” working peeps anything worthwhile for the common good. Only when people coalesce, organize, unionize, march, boycott, strike and protest do the Corporate oligarchs realize that WE make an offer they can’t refuse! ✊🏼👍🏼❤️
