*** No flaming or flame wars, please. ***
*** Use this as a starting point ***
*** The floor is yours ***
The RW pushes its lies and threats 24 by 7 by 365.
By election time, it's too late to make our case.
Please refine and add a social issues section.
And let's get the message out before it's too damn late to do so.
These were jotted down before the necessity of restoring the country to its pre-wrecking-ball state.

TFrom Bernie's tour:
raising the minimum wage,
expanding Social Security,
guaranteeing health care as a human right,
cutting the cost of prescription drugs,
paid family and medical leave,
equal pay for equal work,
more affordable housing,
making childcare and higher education affordable to all,
taking on the existential threat of climate change.
a government and an economy that works for all of us and not just the billionaire class and the Oligarchs.
ALSO from a much earlier post I made.

Every person is guaranteed
a. rights, opportunity, and equity,
b. equal opportunity to make a good living,
c. respect,
Free speech!
Government is by the people and for the people.
The legal system protects rights, especially of minorities.
Things we oppose
Money and power are concentrated in the hands of a few.
Business grows by monopoly aggregation and by stifling competition.
DE-regulation and disrespect of constitutional rights.
Government enforces "the economic order" (a caste system)
Workers and voters are kept from uniting, chiefly by a divide and conquer strategy, i.e culture wars.
Welfare for the rich.
Rampant hate speech, and threats, either by government or individuals.

OP
Maybe that's because the "elephant in the room" economics is buried by the barrage of hate and racism.
