Dear Media: @CNN @MSNBC @NBCNews @ABC @CBSNews @nytimes @washingtonpost Stop calling these people: MODERATES. THAT is a misnomer. @CaptMarkKelly , D-Ariz., @SenatorHassan , D-N.H. @jontester , D-Mont., @ChrisCoons , D-Del., @TomCarperforDE , D-Del., @SenAngusKing

I-Maine, are NOT moderates. They are ENABLERS OF ANTI-DEMOCRACY, oligarchal wannabbee tyrants. They are giving power to the greed, the betrayal, the nastiness of @Sen_JoeMancin @SenatorSinema whose actions betray the idea of a republic. A republic is governance OF, BY, FOR the

people. And any who still play the "corporations are people, my friend" game are vulture capitalists who get $$$$ to line their and their donors pockets ahead of all else. THIS pandemic has been a test of all; it shows who gives a damn about We, the People, and who cares

about making sure the rich get richer. ANY SENATOR WHO VOTED AGAINST A $15 minimum is just a greedy self-serving jerk. Even a 6th grade student understand the basic arithmetic. #1 The more money you put in the hands of working people, the more the economy grows. Working people

spend their money on food, shelter, transportation, essential needs; clothing, heating, AC, safety. The oligarchs, the patriarchs hid their money in accounts overseas. Or build rockets to enhance their manhood.🤬

#2 Healthy individuals are only possible when communities are healthy. One has to be willfully blind and deaf to know this after the last two years. But healthy communities cannot exist in a "for profit" health care system. #3 Taxes are how "WE, the people" pool our money for

the greater good." When pols brag about "low taxes, no taxes" they are pushing the false notion that communities are bad, that caring for others is bad. These so called "moderates" all lean libertarian as do all Rs. They do not believe in the power of communities.

Libertarians see themselves as "noble", me against the world, in their illusions. What they really are is adolescent, "me, me, me, it's all about me." ENABLING THEM is as bad is being one. We are 650,000+ dead people past being nice about, kind to these "blockers" of

democratic rule. They are enabling the tyranny of the minority; they are enabling racism, sexism and downright cold hearted greed. Biden, nor the rest of the Ds are perfect but for now they are trying to undo the damage of four decades of the right wing libertarian greed; of

centuries of racist, sexist greed and cheating. CA with 39 mil citizens has TWO senators; North and South Dakota combined with 1,600,000 has FOUR senators. WHY? White supremacy. And this is why Manchin is against DC getting senators: after all so many of the nearly 700,000

residents of DC are people of color, while the 700,000 residents of Alaska are mostly white. The greed, the racism of so called "moderates" refusing to help insure voting rights speaks volumes. So media, do journalism. Call these racist senators what they are....or call them

out for what they are doing. I do not care how "republican leaning" their states are. Putting right, putting We, the people, putting decency, fairness, justice first comes before all. If they represent a racist state, instead of trying to block changes, they need to encourage

the fellow citizens of their state, to value humanity over race; decency over greed; sharing over libertarian nonsense; justice for all to be an inclusionary view. If a senator is not representing all in "WE, the PEOPLE" they are nothing more than the enablers of monsters.
