"We live in a growing corporate oligarch-driven power structure. Elon Musk drives space exploration. Jeff Bezos provides journalism jobs. Our economy and democracy should never be dependent on oligarchs being benevolent." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"The US is a far right country in how the power structure is skewed. We still deal with the fallout of Reagan and the lie of trickle-down economics. We're still dealing with the destruction of the Fairness Doctrine." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"As a result, you get the GOP voting against the Rescue Plan. A major party that could easily come back into power voting against this plan -- voting against their own constituents' welfare -- is a MASSIVE red flag." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"In 2009, Obama came in and carried his big olive branch of bipartisanship. And Mitch McConnell and the Republicans took that olive branch and beat him with it. The Democrats blinked and Americans paid the price." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"Democrats are showing that they learned from this mistake. They did not get the bipartisanship that they wanted but they got a victory with the Rescue Plan that even critics of the Dem Party, like Sanders, have praised." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"If the Democrats do not tackle systemic issues, repair broken institutions, and enforce accountability for criminal elites, then all the Biden admin will be is an interlude between autocracies." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
