In reply to the discussion: Should the Dems expand the SCOTUS to 13 justices [View all]BlueTsunami2018
(5,044 posts)They govern out of fear of capital. They cant really serve the People the way they deserve because of this. All of the main leaders are against universal healthcare, housing, education and so forth. In the Richest Country in the World️, we dont have anyone advocating for having the basic needs of the People met before we do anything else.
America just keeps getting dumber and less able to achieve anything except making obscenely wealthy people even wealthier.
Its much easier for Republicans to do what they want because they make no bones about what they stand for. Theyre completely in favor of extracting as much wealth as possible from the working class and placing it in the hands of the owners. Not only here but all around the world. They want winners and losers. They want inequality. They want more than anything to go back to the Gilded Age and theyre damn close to achieving it. They fight for their class.
You cant fight for the owners and the workers at the same time. Thats what ties the Democrats hands more than anything. Theyre always trying to thread that needle and its nearly impossible.
We all know what the right thing is but no one seems willing to do it or even try.
