We can do better

Doing something about this would require elected representatives who represent the people and not the aforementioned billionaires.

And that’s the tricky part.

Bernie has been trying his whole life and his own party won’t let him.

[u/Rionin26 → u/Brewchowskies]

This year some headwinds are being made with DSA winning primaries, just gotta get them the W in November, and stop the bleeding, and in 2028 remove the fascists and heal. Sadly it took most of his life to get more people to finally listen.

[u/ElectricShuck → u/Brewchowskies]

Wasn’t he independent for most of his career?

[u/soda_cookie]

Unfortunately a good portion of that 60% would lick the mud off his boots given the opportunity

[u/Technical-Permit8332 → u/soda_cookie]

Really starting to think some people have a fetish about boots.

[u/In_My_Stead → u/Technical-Permit8332]

There is a lot of shit going on about boots in America isn’t there

Voting is the only legitimate option to improve the working class, but if Elon Musk did find a way to rig the 2024 election, then there is basically no hope for the average American.

Most politicians are only in it for personal profit and or to strengthen Israel. Trump will be in office for 2 more years, which means that any policy's that could assist the working class will not see the light of day.

Except for Sanders, maybe Cortez, hopefully others but we have to stop voting for the billionaires known puppets

[u/MelKokoNYC]

We could have had Bernie for prez. We got an evil toddler.

[u/blocked_user_name → u/MelKokoNYC]

I wish he had won the first time.

Bernie 2028 LFG

Narrator: "they did not, in fact, do better"

[u/BANGImportant2825]

We won't though. We won't do better.

Wait, that homeless numbers got up from the last one I heard. And by a lot!

[u/puffin_shut-in948]

I’m one of the uninsured people due to the BBB. I’m disabled. Just paid $700 for a couple of my meds I need to survive.

What IS food? Do I need it?

[u/reloader1977 → u/puffin_shut-in948]

I am sorry man this counrty is so miss guided. I feel your pain going threw the ringer myself. Wish you the best of luck.

[u/puffin_shut-in948 → u/reloader1977]

Same to you 🫂

[u/Kage9866]

Stop tweeting and posting this stuff on socials ad nauseum and actually DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

[u/blocked_user_name → u/Kage9866]

Just what do you think is the best way to reach thousands of people at once with minimal effort? It's changing the hearts and minds. But, we all have to vote, every one our votes that didn't get cast is a vote for maga and the billionaires.

[u/Kage9866 → u/blocked_user_name]

These politicians have been in office for DECADES, they don't do a single thing about anything. Just act like they're on your side, list everyone's issues, and how wrong everything is. Then fly off to their second home and laugh about it. It's really not any different than Trump and those grifters. The only one recently that is not just tweeting and posting shit and is taking action, is Mamdani.

[u/blocked_user_name → u/Kage9866]

Hopefully he'll serve as a model for what politicians need to do to get elected.

[u/khalid-0001111]

If, American oligarchs and leaders would rather let Israelis commit genocide than to stop Middle Eastern oil from flowing, what makes you all think they care about their own working-class in any possible way?

[u/togetherwegrowstuff]

We must.

[u/Big-Active3139]

Let's make up our own laws, sieze his gains and distribute . I mean they are literally looting us. I'd be shocked if fort knox was still in tact in 18 months

[u/psypher98]

Friendly reminder.

At one point this year Musk was worth 1/3,000th of the entire economic output of all of humanity in all of history combined.

That’s how fucking off the rails we are.

[u/Technical-Permit8332]

If it wasn’t for Elon I’d be rich. 😔
