This platform wins in a landslide:
Medicare for All.
Not 1 penny for the genocidal government in Israel.
No more AI data centers.
Wealth tax on billionaires.
Expand Social Security, scrap the cap.
$20 minimum wage.
End Citizens United, ban Super PACs.
So NYT reports that Third Way is spending $15-million to discredit democratic socialism ahead of the presidential elections. “Their fear: Dr. El-Sayed was paving a path for a progressive to seize the party’s presidential nomination in 2028 — and then go on to lose the general election.”
Except that is not their real fear. Their real fear is that the left will go on to *win* the general election, and, like Mamdani in NYC, prove that the left can govern. They are willing to throw the general election to Republicans by smearing the left and dividing and demoralizing the Dem base to avoid that outcome.
How do we know they are willing gamble in this way? Because that's how Trump won the first time.
@TheSCIF@ViiV_333 So… A few people at the top end up with all the money? Perfect description of America right now. So America is already a communist state… right?
Georgia is the 50th best state in the US to work in @OxfamAmerica 2022 scorecard.
@GovKemp The minimum wage is just 19.7% of what a family needs to get by. We can do better. Find out more: https://t.co/YF5k72gXHk
There can be no unity with seditionists. No unity with white supremacists. No unity with paramilitary extremists. We can’t just turn the page. We need full accountability. Impeachment is the least we can do.
In Denmark, McDonald's workers get $22 an hour, 1-year of paid family leave & a pension.
In America, McDonald's workers make $9/hour with no benefits and pay more in taxes than our self-avowed billionaire president.
But a Big Mac costs 27 cents more in Denmark. Oh, the horror!
@atrupar@krystalball You just do not get it! People ain’t buying the bullshit from D’s or R’s anymore. Failure to see this on your part is willful ignorance. We wouldn’t be here if the system wasn’t rigged. WTFU!
Folks lets keep it straight. If Trump wins, it will because the democrat party was more afraid of the Sanders wing of the party than defeating Trump. Remember that, because they are going to point to everything to deflect from their role.
