is referring to a nationally representative sample that asked Americans which unnamed country they preferred
[Prof. Antia asked Americans which unnamed country they preferred] regarding wealth distribution, country A being the United States and country B being Sweden, a social-democrat country.[The Clock is Ticking in our Democracy By Lorenzo Canizares @canilor]
[The Clock is Ticking in our Democracy By Lorenzo Canizares @canilor][Prof. Antia asked Americans which unnamed country they preferred]The result was 92 percent of the respondents supported B (Sweden) and 8 percent supported A (United States).
[The Clock is Ticking in our Democracy By Lorenzo Canizares @canilor][Prof. Antia asked Americans which unnamed country they preferred]This sample confirms what many of us already know
[The Clock is Ticking in our Democracy By Lorenzo Canizares @canilor][Prof. Antia asked Americans which unnamed country they preferred]– that the American people are much more progressive than the mainstream corporate press wants to let us know they are.
[The Clock is Ticking in our Democracy By Lorenzo Canizares @canilor]By the time the rest of us wake up the Trump/Bannon led forces will have consolidated electoral power throughout the country.The Clock is Ticking in our Democracy By Lorenzo Canizares @canilor
And they[Trump/Bannon led forces] are going through all these troubles to make sure that they will attain what they are after, power to lord over us. [The Clock is Ticking in our Democracy By Lorenzo Canizares @canilor]
Remember, these people don’t believe in democracy. The “Big Lie” is second nature to them. [The Clock is Ticking in our Democracy By Lorenzo Canizares @canilor]
Non-Fascist Republicans have been sounding the alarm and many of them are more aware of the danger than many of us in the blue side of the aisle.[The Clock is Ticking in our Democracy By Lorenzo Canizares @canilor]
One thing that we need to do immediately is to set-up conduit of communications with the people around us and to keep people informed about the true nature of what the reality is in America today.[The Clock is Ticking in our Democracy By Lorenzo Canizares @canilor]
Democrats need to show strength in having our laws and system of government respected. Those subpoenas need to be respected or to jail you go. The Build Back Better Plan has to be adopted in its entirety. [The Clock is Ticking in our Democracy By Lorenzo Canizares @canilor]
Show the strength that comes from the conviction that you are doing the right thing. Professor Antia showed us that we are doing the right thing.[The Clock is Ticking in our Democracy By Lorenzo Canizares @canilor]
