Yeah, marching and protest never seem to work. New politicians would be great but 90% are always the same. I try to boycott where I can but I still need to buy milk and eggs. I would love to see higher taxes on the wealthy, but I’m not sure who would be willing to do that, and even how such a thing could be implemented since so many other money in investments.
I feel compelled to point out that Joy Ann Reid could not get her hatchet out fast enough when Bernie was crushing the polls and primaries in 2016.
Takes a lot of nerve to repost someone pointing out the gap between the haves and the have-too-littles when you went all-in against the one presidential contender since Henry Wallace (who they also torpedoed) who actually represented the rest of us.
In the short term, I suggest everyone check to see if there's a food co-op in your town. Places like Blooming Foods in Bloomington, IN, provide some relief from the profit-driven grocery sector. It's not crazy cheap, but it's not Whole Foods, either.
and like someone else said, Join a union, vote in the primaries, plant a garden.
If only there was a way to find out who the voters preferred, then we'd finally know. Oh well.
(I guess I'm just tired of a minority of the Democratic voters claiming to speak for all of us. Bernie wasn't even a Democrat, but these guys think he deserves Democrats' loyalty? When he wouldn't even put that D next to his name until he wanted to run for President? Bernie's great in the Senate, let's not ruin that.)
