"But this isn’t news. The list was posted on the party website almost a year ago, and I reported on it on April 25, 2025."

This was not an inevitability.
This is the result of decades of political choices that rig the system in favor of the wealthy and powerful while leaving workers behind.
It does not have to be this way.
