WALL OF TEXT: THE STATE OF THE LEFT

 

WALL OF TEXT: THE STATE OF THE LEFT. As I’ve written before, the Left needs to get radical if it hopes to survive. Trump has crafted a narrative that blames immigrants for everyone’s problems while the Left continues to declare everything is ok so vote for us and things will continue to be OK. No. I had hoped that Trump’s awful performance verses Harris at their only debate would be enough to sway voters, but that didn’t happen. I am relieved to see more and more people coming out and saying hey Democrats, that’s not enough anymore. Advocating for status quo is not enough. Americans are working harder than ever and have less to show for it. Americans pay more for rent than ever and don’t understand why. Americans were told they must pay a thousand times more for college than their parents did because if they don’t they will end up in a crap job, only to end up in a crap job after getting a degree. Things are not ok. Trump has offered an easy answer. The Democrats have refused to move further to the Left in response. They must if they don’t want a dictator to rise to power and destroy any kind of republic the USA has. Trump won because the country is angry and does not know where to direct its anger. The Democrats could show them who to be mad at, if they had the guts, but that will not happen so long as the Left takes funding from the rich and the corporations they run. We should return to a time when individuals owned things instead of corporations. That is the time Americans idealize. The Left must stand up to corporate power. It must break up the tech companies and all the other oligopolies and practical monopolies. It must advocate an end to corporate stock buybacks and so many other things. A democrat who ran on the platform of undoing everything Reagan did would have an easy time getting attention. If only someone had the courage to say it.
