We are in the middle of a fog of lies: that the current economic paradigm in America is working for the majority of people. It is not. And it is not going to. Our challenge is to break the hold that corporate donors have on both political parties. There is one thing and one thing only that can do it: a rising up of the American people - despite our frustration and anger, despite our cynicism and weariness - to reject at the ballot box the minions of the status quo.
pretty wild that corporate media just won’t ever mention this data that comes directly from the U.S. government

I actually like the analogy, I just draw a different conclusion. It's like an employee ten minutes before all the stakeholders vote for Amazon to become an employee-owned company. Don't let your skepticism become cynicism - that leads to resignation...

They say "If you don't vote for who we tell you to then the devil will be elected and he will destroy the universe." The people say "Oh no, ok. Will do. I will be a hero and save the universe from the madman, and I will vote for this character you want installed."
Only guillotines can fix this now…

That same corporate media - those are the exploiters. Why would anyone think they'd report on the graft, exploitation, and greed beyond measure? I don't think it's "wild" at all. I think it's another immoral symptom of late state capitalism gutting our humanity for money.

40 years of brainwashing makes this nearly impossible, either everyone has been lulled to sleep or they blame everything on the poor and powerless.

Explain this to Trumpers. That would be an accomplishment for the good of the country.

@susanbordson great data straight from the US Govt on how this country's economy is working for only a small group of people. We need an economic u-turn! Marianne's policies are the most progressive for the working class. #Marianne2024
