The issue is not that we don’t have solutions to humanity’s problems. The issue is that people with solutions don’t have the power, and people with power too often don’t want to hear about real solutions. 1/3

At a certain point, you can’t have it both ways. You can either prioritize the survival of your democracy, species and planet, or you can allow the dictates of an unfettered capitalist economy to take priority over those things. 2/3

In theory it’s supposed to be government’s job to broker a balance between individual liberty - including economic liberty - with concern for the Common Good. In fact the former now reigns at the expense of the latter, putting humanity into a tailspin. 3/3

That’s because they are PAID to ignore solutions. You know that the system is corrupted by money. 🫰🏼 That’s a huge problem in this so called democracy.

The solution according to people in power is to keep a significant proportion of the population desperate to preserve power (the status quo) over the long term. It's rather evil.

President Biden has passed historic forward leaning legislation popular among voters. He is a moral, compassionate man who loves our country & will beat Trump again if we vote. Promises made have been kept, but there is more to do. Why change course now-so much is on the line?

Don't forget all the smug, satisfied, safe liberals who don't care if economic justice happens at all b/c they're so comfortable. When change is presented from progressives they say it's too radical & unhinged. That's what is going to make Dems lose...liberal voters.

You're an idiot. The issue isn't the wrong people in power, it's the power structures themselves. Not surprising hearing this sophomoric critique from someone seeking power for personal aggrandizement. Get bent. You are the disease you claim to remedy.
