Just finished "Poverty, by America" by Matthew Desmond.

A must read.

Those who have amassed the most power and capital bear the most responsibility for America's vast poverty.

From "Poverty, by America."

Not. The. Poor. Themselves.

Capitalism should serve the people, not the other way around.

[Mike Fine @michaelcfine]

That this has to be recommended is a sign of how horrible it's going to be.

American Capitalism playbook:

Protect workers' dependency on corporations by debasing citizens' dependency on the state.

American Capitalism propaganda:

Convince people that our medicine (aid to the poor) is poison.

(based on "Poverty, by America")

The press needs to ask Chump what specific policies he plans to implement to combat inflation every day from now to the end of the shit show that will be his so-called presidency. Jibberish or crickets, guaranteed.

Someone on the left needs to take the Chump media plan (or one like it), convert it to liberal and progressive ideas, and execute it aggressively.

[Matt McDermott @mattmfm]

It’s about time the Democratic Party come to terms with the fact that a vast majority of the American public lives in a media environment — from Fox to Twitter to podcasts — that functions as a Republican propaganda machine. Ignoring this reality is no longer a tenable solution.

[Mike Fine @michaelcfine]

Just what we need... more monopolies. 🤬

[Matt Stoller @matthewstoller]

CNBC's David Faber: "The real winner is the M&A market..."

Says that CEOs in the media industry - Comcast and Warner Brothers - are now talking about mergers.

Says Comcast may merge with Charter, Exxon and Chevron may merge.

[Mike Fine @michaelcfine]

Sad but spot on.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Congratulations to our new co-presidents, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel.

[Mike Fine @michaelcfine]

The idea that "the markets went up, therefore it's okay we just elected a vile criminal as president" is grotesque.

In an ideal scenario the President of the United States and the worst person in the world would be two different people.

"I just didn't know enough about her policies, so I voted for the criminal."
-- America

"I just didn't like her laugh, so I voted for the adjudicated rapist."
-- America

"I just didn't like that she was a woman, so I voted for the overt racist."
-- America

Vice President Harris doesn't have to certify the election, right Repugnicans?

President Biden has the right to send Seal Team Six after Chump, right Repugnicans?

President Biden doesn't have to peacefully leave the White House, right Repugnicans?

[Cheri Jacobus @CheriJacobus]

Thank the media for that. They reported how people felt about the economy, not what the economy was really doing. This helped Trump enormously.

[Mike Fine @michaelcfine]

Finish this bad joke:

A highly qualified black woman and a convicted felon apply for the same job....

#Election2024
🤬👿🤬👿🤬

[Mike Fine @michaelcfine]

The big lesson of #Election2024 is that apparently big corporations can raise prices to cause inflation (and boost profits!) in order to get Repugnican politicians elected, who in turn will vote to lower their taxes.

Quid pro quo. With no repercussions.

Gross.

#Election2024

[Mike Fine @michaelcfine]

The millions of people who voted for the convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, fascistic con man should have to wear their red hate hats every minute of every day so the rest of us can avoid them like the plague.

Whether the orange felon wins or loses, the press is largely to blame for what's happening tonight.
