@Jaybefaunt 0 points for me as well. Then again, I am a 72 yr old Boomer!

@PaulSorrentino3 That is true!

I graduated HS in 1971 and followed that with and AA in Liberal Arts (remember when that was actually a degree?), BA in Anthropology, and MA in Educational Leadership & Policy Studies. Recently decided to reread some classics and added Sinclair Lewis's "It Can't Happen Here".

[Marsha Carol Smith 🇳🇴♊️♋️♓️🇩🇰 @CPHunter1971]

...it contrasts political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a President who becomes a dictator to "save the nation." Finally back in print, It Can't Happen Here remains uniquely important, a shockingly prescient novel that's as fresh and contemporary as today's news.

[Prof Zenkus @anthonyzenkus]

Every time we demand the Dems do something sane to benefit the people, they respond with "You can't just [blank]."

"You can't just give everybody free healthcare".
Yes you can.

"You can't just do away with ICE",
Yes you can.

"You can't just cut all military aid to Israel"

Yes. You literally can. And if you don't, we won't vote for you.

@sdgrumbine Nina Turner, like Bernie Sanders, has proved to be a great disappointment.

@anthonyzenkus It's not weird. Most people (esp. men) who actively seek positions of power in business/politics/etc. are psychopathic at the worst & sociopathic narcissists at best.

@ThrillaRilla369 Classical, R&B, The Beatles, BeeGees, Pointer Sisters, Donna Summer, Prince Prince Prince! Also love The Decemberists, Hozier and more. Good music is good music regardless of time.

@FuckYourProfits @ThiaBallerina Health insurance should NEVER be the ones determining treatment. That should be entirely in the hands of the patient & their medical team.

@pitchforque @ThiaBallerina I agree as a current member of the retiree chapter of the American Federation of Teachers. I feel fortunate to have the platinum level coverage that comes to me at almost no out-of-pocket cost to me.

[Marsha Carol Smith 🇳🇴♊️♋️♓️🇩🇰 @CPHunter1971]

@ThiaBallerina As a retired & disabled person, I am grateful to have the awesome coverage I have from both CalPERS & the LACCD & Medicare. Our for-profit healthcare system run & operated by the insurance companies is just plain BS. This country needs & wants universal single payer coverage.

@JeanGreige Are they stupid? Yes.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

Donald Trump is not on our side.

Kamala Harris is not on our side.

The Republicans are not on our side.

The Democrats are not on our side either.

The government and both parties exist to serve the rich and the war machine.

Hope that helps.

[Marsha Carol Smith 🇳🇴♊️♋️♓️🇩🇰 @CPHunter1971]

@ThrillaRilla369 Absolutely! And that's coming from a retired post-secondary administrator in a local community college district. College isn't for everybody, but I feel that continuing education is.

Never been more clear that we do not live in, nor do we have a democracy. Please stop pretending we have one, had one, or have to protect a fake one. We live in an oligarchy and always have. Accept it or do something about it.

Just stop cosplaying/larping.

@ProudSocialist I started telling people several months ago that making Gavin Newsom POTUS is the plan. People who don't know any better are thrilled with this plan.
