As I have said for 4 decades, America is on the wrong track. The problem is that Neo-liberal economics doesn't give a sh!t about any one except yourself. The Dems sold out the workers for the top 20%. The Repuds are in the pocket of the 1%.
. . The Woke movement was created by the sellout Dems to try to hold some of the workers from voting Repud based on other issues like abortion and guns. But, it alienates some voters who would vote for workers if the Dems didn't keep calling them evil. The Dems don't care about the workers just Black and brown people.
. . So, white workers have no party to vote for that will help them.
As I have said for 2 decades, if you want to get America back on the right track you need to join the Progressive Party. The only way to do that is to get out into the street and demonstrate. There you meet other like minded people and network with them. then work to take back the Dems or convert the green Party into the Progressive Party.
. . This election you get Trump out and Biden in. You get as many progressives in Congress as you can. Then you organize and fight for 2 years to take back the Dems or convert the green Party into the Progressive Party. If there is a miracle, then Pres. Biden might join you if you get control of the House and Senate. Failing that you fight for 2 more years and take control of the US Gov. in 2024. If you fail, then it is too late and ACC aka AGW will ruin your life. And likely kill you.
In this short video from the Hill Krystal and Saager show you exactly how the US Gov. cares about the bottom 60% (not at all) and only cares about the top 20%.
the thing s that the top 20% will win if they can keep the rest of the voters from uniting behind one program. This means that everyone must compromise with those who will really join the Progressive Party.
. . This means ---
1] Affirm equal rights for Blacks and brown people.
2] Pull down the Confederate statues, but not the slave holding Founding Fathers' statues.
3] Economic justice for the workers.
4] Breaking up the new "Trusts" and going back to union rights.
5] OTOH, demand policies that let Capital (the rich) get 10% (not 100%) of corp. profit increases from investments that increase "productivity" AND let the workers get 90% (not 0%, like it has been for 40 years).
6] Get Modern Monetary Theory adopted by Congress so that deficit spending can be used for fighting ACC 1st and foremost, then 2nd for the mass of the people, and stop using deficit spending to serve the rich and super rich.
. . . Don't worry about the US national debt. In 20 years ACC will make it not matter anyway. Only a WWII level of spending has any chance now of saving us.
7] During the covid-19 crisis demand a UBI. Later MMT wants to substitute a US funded and locally run program to hire every person who can't find a job. They would get paid a socially inclusive wage. I terms you understand last Dec. before the crisis, the wage would be about $20/hr. This would bring money into every part of America to let small business people make more profit even though they need to pay their workers more. {There would need to be a backup program run by the US Gov. for those areas where the locals can't treat every person equally. Like I said, racial equality.}
8] I would even consider reparations to Blacks for Jim Crow, but not for the much older but also much greater evil of slavery. Maybe, a UBI just for them of $125/week, even children of any age. It would last for many years, maybe 20 at least. This works out to $130,000 over those 20 years.
Remember this all comes from deficit spending, not from taxes on the workers. Maybe taxes on the very rich and the super rich (the top 1%). But certainly not on those who have incomes in the 80% to 99% range. They are not the problem. We must not drive them away.
If you can't compromise, then you *will* fail. If you fail we all die.
Grok your options and act accordingly.
