If this year taught us anything, it's that:

1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires.
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers.
3) Poverty is a policy choice.
4) Health care is a human right.
5) Strikes work.

I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.

If you’d told me back in 1987 that the party of Reagan would win in the year 2024 by running a Russian leader puppet felon traitor rapist who ran on pulling us out of NATO and telling us that our country sucked, I would have laughed my ass off and asked what you were smoking.
