Extremism
I am tired of hearing the cry for a centrist Democrat to run for the presidency. Those who call the party of the people extremist are just brain washed by the Right. Is it extreme to support universal health care, a fair living wage, higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations, effective regulations to protect people and the planet. I don't think so.
On the other side... Is it extreme to demand that women give birth to a baby even if it was a pregnancy caused by a rape, is it extreme to want to keep people shackled by low wages and no health insurance, is it extreme to allow corporations to continue to pollute the place where we live for profit? I think it is.
And you have this Star Bucks fool who is going to jump in and be the spoiler to the Democratic nominee. What does it tell you when the billionaires are freaking out over Elizabeth Warren. These are not the job creators, these are the leeches on our society. The job creators are a healthy middle class. A middle class that has disposable income to put back into the economy. Giving the wealthy tax cuts only serves to allow them to put that money in offshore banks, or buy more stock in their own companies. It does not create one job. Other than maybe for another tax attorney.
The Democrats moving to the center is not keeping with what we stand for. If moving to the center will appease wall street and private for profit, companies who are in charge of our health.. Then I say NO we need to continue to support the policies that we have always stood for, and if we cannot win over the people with this, then there is something wrong with the way we present our policies.
It should be as easy as pie defeating the conservative party this time around... But thanks to Fox News, which is not a news channel at all and tells lies daily about the left, verbally attacks the progressives, and promotes a buffoon who is bringing this country down... They have succeeded in making people dumber, more gullible, to the point that they actually vote against their own interests to support the interests of the wealthy and the corporation.
Fox Fake News has succeeded in making a good number of our citizens ignorant of issues and facts. They make up sensational headlines then cherry pick snippets of statements from the left to prove their point. These are despicable people and if you believe them you too are despicable.
Whether you liked Hillary or hated her. She was right about at least one thing. Trump's supporters are indeed Baskets of Deplorables.
