The Way Forward

(34,983 posts)I'm flexible. Something to get going.
On billionaires, there's a lot of things that help them unintentionally. Whenever we focus on the stock market rather than whether folks are able to make rent, when we let the wedge issues divide us - any of it - we are helping them. That's what I meant by that. I do think it's even worse on the other side. Low info voters getting all wrapped up in trans issues or abortion, and not seeing that their own party is stabbing them in the back financially.
Somehow, we need a shift so that red v. blue is focused primarily on economics. I don't know how we do it or I wouldn't be looking for ideas here. But I think we need to somehow get there. Others may not see it that way, but that's where I'm at. The billionaires are literally killing us, they are not afraid of us, they've got us split. If we could somehow work on that and descend on Washington with a national strike, perhaps that could move the needle.
