It’s very difficult when Dems don’t stick together My message: we can’t say we’re a big tent as we said election night & then freak out when we disagree. I’m not happy about it, but big blue wave coming because united GOP refused to care for the people who need them the most, and everybody knows it.

Remember, the problem is the very wealthy… not your neighbors, Dems, Repubs, immigrants, or others.
Massively tax the rich, as in the 1960s.

Somebody (middle-aged) came up to the board and said "I see all the oldies hate social media".
Actually, it was predominantly young people, sub 30, who felt it was a scourge, and especially the under 18s.

Absolutely not correct. They are doing what the billionaire donors and corporations want, not the GOP base.
Absolutely correct
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

If you make $100,000 a year (not bad), it will take you 10 MILLION years to earn a trillion dollars.
If you make a million dollars a year (wow!), it'll still take you a million years to earn a trillion dollars.
