I'm Russ Vought's worst nightmare: a bisexual, atheist, childless, feminist, who organized 3 abortion marches-

AOC is Stephen Miller's worst nightmare: a powerful Latina, who speaks truth, & has influence
& can never be DEPORTED.
Be sand in their gears. BE UNGOVERNABLE.

James Carville, in his NYT Op-ed, says it's time for Democrats to "embrace a sweeping, aggressive, unvarnished, unapologetic, and altogether unmistakable platform of pure economic rage. The most populist platform since the Great Depression."
I can dig it.

๐งต There are many people on the internet right now claiming that FDR was a socialist.
No. He was a pro-labor president. Which means he was pro-union & pro-welfare. Within capitalism.
His enemies accused him of being socialist to denigrate his cause.
But Socialism & Unions are not the same systems.

I think she did. She often complimented him & said, but there's more work to be done.
That's why she wanted to cap insulin for everybody. Why she wanted to build more homes & give a credit to first-time buyers.
But there's a platform available now that wasn't there before. Trump's easy to follow.

I think unions & labor have been siloed into factory-esque, construction, or physical labor jobs.
Most people don't consider themselves the "working class."
But we are - if we're not living on passive income or residual income.
There just needs to be a shift in the language to recognize it.

Just thinking that the political needs have changed so much and it's time for a shift in political messaging.
And that messaging is going to have to be unapologetically anti-billionaire.
We're going to have to bring back Elizabeth Warren's "billionaire's tears" mug.

Ken Martin actually told Jon Stewart a couple months back that economics was the underpinning of all Americans.
Inequality IS oppression.
Maybe that's how Trump stole some of those voters.
He appealed to their economic frustrations, rather than their social frustrations.

Carville aside -
I think there's some merit to shifting to economic issues for minorities.
To say we have a platform that "helps minorities" is all well & good
- But economic stability is an important value for all Americans, regardless of color or sex.
Carville didn't come up with this first.

100% Jon Stewart had a great clip on bailouts.
It was a 10 minute clip so a lot is cropped out but a Republican claimed that "Socialism picked winners & losers" and Jon Stewart claimed that this is exactly what bailouts do.

At the same time that corporate propaganda has taught us to hate being a recipient of social programs, it turns out corporations love NOTHING MORE than being a recipient of federal bailouts & subsidies.
They call it socialism when it benefits the People & Capitalism when it benefits themselves.๐งต

I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that Denmark or Sweden have rich oligarchs controlling the media.
As you can see below, 3 Nordic countries rank most transparent & least corrupt for Tranparency International's "Corruption Perceptions Index."

๐งต There are 100 economic reforms that we could make between us and socialism.
Reforms which most European countries already have within their capitalistic systems.
Socialism isn't OUR answer. It's an opposite extreme that isn't necessary.

๐งต In Europe, they have very strong union rights which allow workers to have organized leverage against their employers.
This means the government doesn't have to regulate the companies as much because the unions have so much power.
