Ask any citizen of an advanced democracy if they feel their universal healthcare or free childcare is authoritarian. Ask people who had free tuition for college in this country before the 1970s whether they felt it was authoritarian. Tell me how paid family leave or raising the minimum wage to a living wage would be authoritarian.
You can’t, of course.
The women of The View saying “the Democrats don’t have a primary” is like when Trump’s press Secretary Sean Spicer told us there had never been a bigger crowd for a presidential inauguration.
In both cases, the willingness of people in positions of power to blatantly lie - even when everyone knows what they’re saying is outrageously untrue - is almost Orwellian.
Every woman at the table, including @AnaNavarro, knew she was lying yet see it as their job to keep up the lie. nitter.vloup.ch/NickFondacaro/st…
All of the issues I mentioned above are considered moderate positions in every other advanced democracy.
Most of them are granted to the citizens of every other advanced democracy.
The reason we don’t have those things is not because we can’t afford it, or because it’s just too complicated. The reason we don’t have them is because our government is corrupt - held hostage by the purveyors of corporate greed.
The time to push back hard is right now. #marianne2024marianne2024.com/economic-bi…
The way to defeat authoritarianism is not by going on endlessly about how terrible Trump is.
The to defeat authoritarianism is by offering people so much more….presenting a more compelling vision.
We need a 21st Century Economic Bill of Rights: universal healthcare, tuition free college and tech school, free childcare, paid family leave, guaranteed sick pay and a guaranteed living wage... marianne2024.com/economic-bi…
