What I've been missing most these days is just hooting and hollering with the boys in the saloon and then immediately becoming eerily silent every time anyone walks through the door
I would be more sympathetic to the idea of voting for the lesser of two evils if only we didn't have decades of history to look at as proof that it doesn't work
The lack of knowledge around how much money people make can really hurt your self-esteem too.
If you believe 50% of people make over $100k (it's really 10%) then you're gonna blame yourself for making less instead of blaming the system set up to keep wages down across the board.
If you think everyone in the country is making more than they actually are, you're less likely to band together and demand a more fair economy.
But the truth is everyone in the country is making *less* than you think, and we *need* to band together to make the economy more fair.
It's very telling that people are so surprised by economic stats like "3 out of 4 individuals make less than $75k/year."
This country is set up to discourage class consciousness/solidarity, and one of the key ways it works is misinformation about how much money we all make.

bernie suspending the campaign isnt the same thing as dropping out it means he will not be holding events/rallies + instead will focus on our public health crisis, hes still running and still on the ballot. it’s imperative NOW more than ever that WE organize around him in support
