Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

To implement changes we must take the constitution off its pedestal.
We have to admit:
-the constitution lacks ways to enforce the ideals it purports to stand for
-the founders wrote the constitution for 1787 politics, life, culture & morals

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

This keeps insurance companies (where oligarchs are heavily invested) in the middle
There is no insurance that individuals could negotiate that would cost $2000 year

Stock buybacks are a perfect example of how CEOs are using company money instead of paying a living wage
The rich continue to get rich by keeping workers poor
The rich continue to get rich by keeping workers poor
Riding the high of Trump's latest tax cuts, corporations are seeing record profits and will make over $1.1T in stock buybacks this year — an all-time high.
Meanwhile, layoffs have totaled 1.1M so far in 2025 — the highest level since the pandemic.
"New Golden Age" for whom?

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
