  • The problem with retirement accounts is they inevitably get invested in index funds with for profit corporations underlying. These are the same corpos who are buying politicians and twisting the system that’s supposed to serve us into serving them instead. They’re always looking to privatize the gains and socialize the losses.

    Enough is enough. Corporations are not people!


  • This would be such a great protest action, if only Dems had half a brain and could organize themselves. Unfortunately their donors are giving money to republicans this cycle, so without those people telling Dems what to do, they simply don’t have any plan. It’s truly pathetic.

    Alternatively, all Dems could have stayed completely absent from this joint address. Having their half of the aisle totally empty and just leaving it to the Republican pep rally it was would have been more powerful than the stupid stickers.

    Or, pick one or two egregious things Trump said, and have 10-12 top Dems go on all the news shows the following day to lambast him. “These bastards are cutting funding for cancer research! Why don’t they want us to find cures for cancer?!” Not only is this a true and valid criticism of the irresponsible cuts, this would make a huge wave in the media if a bunch of them did it at the same time, but they’re just too damn feckless.

    Here’s the thing though: the end goal of all this madness is a $4.5 trillion tax cut for the rich. That’s literally all Trump wants to do, in addition to grifting millions for himself along the way. Guess who is an incredibly rich body due to their rampant insider trading (legal for them btw), and insane level of corrupt bribe money flowing in? Yep, the Dems. So perhaps they’re incentivized to not fight back too hard on this agenda after all.
