Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

#Trump pardoned Tim Leiweke — who his own DOJ indicted in July for rigging a public university’s arena bid—
It’s all a grift — Saudis to crypto to pardon seekers — everything gets turned into a revenue stream. With 1,500+ pardons already, clemency is a monetized market

💯 It's not complicated.
If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.
They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America.
There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Trump threatened to "hang" democrats for creating a video about protecting the constitution and threatened that their actions were "punishable by death." We are here partially because instead of executing Trump for treason, a corrupt supreme court granted him total immunity from any crime.

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."
When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.
