We are suffering as a society from people who are trying hard to erase us as a society and make us only an economy as though the worth of human beings is only of value in economic terms: producers, consumers, workers. They envision a world where robots will power industry and most humans will be of little or no value, and therefore there will be no need for human services.

If we agree to define ourselves and our value only in economic terms the anti-society people find it easier to treat us as commodities or non-humans, and convince others that we are undeserving o life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Thus they justify the destruction of the safety net we created for delivering human services, and feel justified in trying to turn people into materials to be processed in prisons and institutions and concentration camps for some corporation’s profit.

I don’t know what term I think better than “brand” Maybe “image.” But I do think that language we use does make a difference in how we see ourselves and how others see us; and if we accept that we are just “consumers” or workers, it makes it easier for for the anti-society bad actors to treat us as surplus labor and surplus goods.

that will spring up around the AFB. But what she's really doing is collaborating with the dictator to create a larger border presence that may be used against citizens or for an invasion into Canada. I used to really like her, but 24 hours later... never supporting her again.

She needs to think things through.

she is mangling the optics horribly.

"Constitutional Crisis"! And the Reason So Many People Lost their Jobs and their Homes And Country.. And Turned the Sane World Against Us

but you've lost any credibility here.

She fucking hugged the Nazi. Gross. Your political star has set.

Maybe Newsom got to her.

"Run as my VP. This is how you do it."

He really did a number on her. She fell for it or wanted these optics?

Was never convinced that she was presidential.

the Oval Office debacle. She can't really claim not to know what the reaction would be.

Whitmer secured 850 million for economic relief in her state, saving 30,000 jobs. What she did was set her disgust aside and worked for her people in Michigan.

I bet Arkansas in Jealous.. the last I read.. he wound's give them $$$ for Tornado Wreckage.

If Gretchen Whitmer knew that going in, but did so anyway to secure $850 million for her state, it qualifies as a selfless act.

Unfortunately, it also qualifies as reinforcing the power of an absolutely corrupt despot and a broken system for dispersing federal funds.

With our country on the line, if you don't know this yet, GTFO!
NEVER appease a dictator!

Hey Gretchen. Ask Sarah in Arkansas how 'her' ass kissing worked out.

I’m not the leader of the opposition. I recommend listening to her.
