B.C. Dems-A.C. Progressives

The evil of money has 2 parents, the greed for it borne of the wealthy and the desperate necessity for it borne by all others. Both greed & necessity are nurtured by corporatists.

@RossKneeDeep But it had to have an audience, a big audience, & where did they come from? No FOX wasn't the problem, it was an outlet, a home for the inbred ignorance of bigotry, fear, just waiting on their man, the one who would blame all they blame. Fox, w\Trump, validates them.

It has truly helped.

I think he may be onto something..

@ProudSocialist Agree, but his message in '15 was loud & clear, "It's going to take a revolution.", & in that we let him down, it didn't happen. We keep saying we out number "them" (Republicans\Corporate Dems) but we never prove or use it. It's past time, how much worse does it have to get?

10 years ago the DNC rigged its primary against Bernie via superdelegates, media collusion & backroom deals singlehandedly exposing that the “Democratic” party is NOT democratic at all. The worst part is Bernie went along with it instead of building an alternative to the duopoly.

@JeremyWard33 OK, we've ID'd this a million times, a 2-party system both representing big $$ donors more than the people, though 1 of those parties would never run a Trump, it did allow him to happen. We need to establish our banner issues, find true Progressives, support them & go on offense.

No Kings: "Be A Democrat And Everything Will Be Fine"

@RobSchneider Think Trump's sophisticated enough to maneuver our nation anointing him king? Of course not, just listen to him speak for 1 minute. No, he didn't put himself outside & above the law, the Supreme Court did. So, as it should be, it's up to us. No matter what's thrown at us, VOTE.

FACT CHECKED ✅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@70s_stache6969 @michaelshermer You are not wrong, Democrats are victims of their own rhetoric & "Big Tent" approach, but that said, Dems are not driven by a hateful & divisive center.

@b_progressives @michaelshermer Tell it to the dnc politicians. They're the ones who decided to prioritize men in dresses. If they're mad about getting pushback against their denials of reality, then maybe they should rethink their priorities.

The tide is turning to end the madness. BTW, why is it that no one cares about "trans men" (women) competing in men's divisions, entering men's bathrooms & prisons? Everyone knows the answer even though it contradicts their beliefs about sex and gender.

@Tarmeim Look no further than the Congress of the United States.

@nxt888 You ask too much. The Viet Nam War came into U.S. living rooms, it became up close, personal & immediate. Find another nation at war seeing their sons, fathers, brothers being killed, measured by Body Count, that would grieve for the nation they were sent to die in.

There is a mythology the U.S. built around the American War in Vietnam. It goes like this: Young idealistic soldiers were sent into an unwinnable situation by confused politicians. They came home broken and unappreciated. It was a tragedy. A mistake. A lesson learned. Notice what that story does. It centers Americans. Their trauma. Their confusion. Their homecoming. Their feelings. In this story, the Vietnamese people are a backdrop. A jungle. An obstacle. An abstraction. Three million dead Vietnamese people are the scenery for a story about American self-discovery. They made hundreds of movies about Vietnam. The Deer Hunter. Apocalypse Now. Platoon. Full Metal Jacket. Born on the Fourth of July. Hamburger Hill. Count how many of them center a Vietnamese character with a full human life, a family, a name you remember after the credits roll. They turned our genocide into their coming-of-age story. They lost the war and still managed to make themselves the main character. And then, with extraordinary arrogance, they put their soldiers' names on a wall in Washington and call it a memorial, as if the dead to be mourned were the people who flew 10,000 miles to do the killing. Where is the wall for our three million? There isn't one. Because in their telling, we were never quite real enough to mourn.

@RossKneeDeep Why not, it tracks, given the U.S.A. is bankrupt & the 7th Corporation he's done that to. That 100$ bill has the value of a CSA 100$ bill.

How crazy is this. He's not a dictator? President Trump’s signature will be added to future U.S. paper currency, the Treasury Department announced Thursday. Trump will become the first sitting president whose name will appear on currency. It follows efforts to create two coins with his image on them, a $1 coin and a special 24-carat commemorative gold coin. Read more: abcnews.visitlink.me/Pnk5ZU

If all politicians had to go on Social Security at 65 instead of a lifetime pension, they would fix Social Security in one day!

@GOP Why? Show us the need, the problem. You're banking on our ignorance, like trying to sell flood insurance to a person living in a desert.

Require voter ID. Every vote. Every time. PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT 🇺🇸

@Parodyjeffx The U.S.A became his 7th bankruptcy. That 100$ bill?, it has all the purchasing power of a Confederate States of America currency.

We are screwed.

@GOP Why?

American citizens should decide American elections.

@KeithOlbermann @BasedMikeLee "It's my ball, my field, my umps, my rules. Play Ball!"

@BasedMikeLee So to win you have to disenfranchise 9-10% of eligible voters who can't afford this poll tax ID In other words, you have to cheat to win Then lose. And go to hell.

If we don’t pass SAVE America, Democrats win in November If we pass SAVE America, we have a chance Failure is not an option

this is not a joke

@GOP @RepMikeLawler Tell the truth, you lie in wait for such tragedies, ignoring a remedy for such, regulating gun ownership & laws that protect murders that are White, Christian & "Standing their ground." Without such killings, statistically rare among immigrants, you have nothing to offer but fear

Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old student in a sanctuary state, lost her life to an illegal alien and repeat offender who should have NEVER BEEN LET IN OUR COUNTRY. @RepMikeLawler: "This is why immigration enforcement matters."

@michaelshermer @sapinker The ONLY cure is education, for a democracy, Public Education. One only need to observe how children play, interact & communicate if not prejudiced by parents. They are naturally diverse & inclusive & an effective education system would mirror & reinforce those values.

Despite the moral progress we've made over the centuries, documented by @sapinker in The Better Angels of Our Nature & Enlightenment Now, and in my The Moral Arc, there still exist egregious racists and anti-Semites, as evidenced in this email I just received:

@ProudSocialist Spot on. Ever wonder why Medicare covers ony 80% & Insurance companies got a 20% bite? Corporate Health Insurance is the visceral fat wrapped around our vital organs, we can work out, diet, even operate but it's not going anywhere.

Seeing Democrats celebrating the ACA today is exactly why we need a real working class party. The ACA is not universal healthcare. It’s a for-profit healthcare plan that was a massive gift to the big insurance companies. We need nationalized healthcare and an actual left party!
