2. I don't speak for Indivisible, but ... Just as the GOP capitalized on "Democrats in Disarray" ...

this is causing dissent in their ranks.

My limited exposure to Indivisible says that they jump on hot topics rapidly, and that's something that the party has been lax to do until very recently. The GOP scumbags used every opportunity to stall Democratic legislation and stymie presidents, and pack the court.

When you don't have the sledgehammer, it seems that a thousand cuts will have to do.

Personally, I believe that the issue fracturing the GOP is the burned-in maga core belief, since pizzagate, that the DEMS are running a worldwide child-smuggling ring, and that the evidence was being buried to protect Dems, and I think they still believe it to this minute.

Hiding evidence, to them, must represent hiding evidence on EVERYONE BUT their beloved and sainted president and all his cohorts, and represents a betrayal of his wildly hypocritical "transparency" claim and promised released of it all. (which was a damned lie)

Worse, I fully expect his minions to be shredding evidence and replacing it with AI-generated replacements, concurrent with his dredging up insane accusations against Barack Obama et. al. The evidence tampering will make Watergate look like a speck of dust and could take down the administration and its street thugs disguised as cabinet members and department heads.

I've been hammering on issues for years on this forum, but in the end, if this derails the Trump Train, GREAT.

"Bread and Butter" issues have been widely promoted by Bernie and AOC throughout the country in the Oligarchy tours, (see the sumamary I deceived below) and all the other crucial issues addressed in their speeches. I listened to many of them.

Here's your bread and butter in the Oligarchy rant.
"It don't get more bread and butter than this."

People attending rallies in huge numbers are saying
YES to raising the minimum wage,
YES to expanding Social Security,
YES to guaranteeing health care as a human right,
YES to cutting the cost of prescription drugs,
YES to paid family and medical leave,
YES to equal pay for equal work,
YES to more affordable housing,
YES to making childcare and higher education affordable to all,
YES to taking on the existential threat of climate change.

And most importantly they are saying
YES to a government and an economy that works for all of us and not just the billionaire class and the Oligarchs.

ETA, I already addressed tariffs in one of the "FAFO Collection"


The rest are here, subject to additions since they were posted.
