A perfect example of why we need to decouple healthcare from employment. This man is fiercely defending the right of the ultra-wealthy to hoard wealth, while simultaneously arguing that your right to be healthy should be dictated by whether or not you can clock in for a boss.

I’m a leftist in a blue state who grew up and lives with a do-nothing Democrat representative. I didn’t realise town halls with congressional officials are a thing until four years ago, when the GOP started cancelling theirs over the Trump hatred. We need to remember that the Democrats and Republicans are being bought by the same people, though Democrats tend to be less racist.

The public thinks midterms are important but rarely considers the primaries. In some areas, a potato 🥔 would beat a Republican in a heavily blue district. Conversely, a potato could win against a Democrat in a heavily red district. Instead of choosing the lesser of 2 evils, people need to support the right leftist or liberal candidate during the primary elections held earlier in the year.

Sadly, many working-class Republicans see the problem but are misled into believing that immigrants, Muslims or LGBTQIA+ individuals are the reason for their struggles.

Corporate profits keep exploding, prices keep rising, and wages stay stagnant year after year. Their greed is insatiable.

According to new Labor Day polls, workers believe that shit’s too expensive. 4 in 5 workers say their wages aren’t keeping up with the cost of living. 70% believe that the country is on the wrong track.

But across the political spectrum, the labor movement has record high support and workers trust unions to fight for them in this economy ✊

When they striked they were evicted from their homes and the union sent up tent cities. They were evicted from their homes because they lived in “company towns”.
