I know things will be rough in the beginning. But something's gotta give, this whole red fascist vs blue fascist thing isn't working out for the working class. We are having the exact same conversations about wages housing, healthcare, education, etc for decades. These were the same issues MLK was fighting for 60 years ago. And we've gotten nowhere because white liberals, who he said was the largest stumbling block towards freedom, are too afraid to upset the apple cart. They are afraid of losing THEIR privilege to gain the rights of others

Still doesn't mean shit if people can't live on those wages.
And here we are 62 years after Letter From A Birmingham Jail fighting the same fights and having the same conversations about income inequality, racism, and basic human rights. Its as if the liberals that claim to support these issues are not doing shit. They tell us progress takes time, in the words of James Baldwin 'how much time do you want for your progress?'
Job growth doesn't mean shit if it's not accompanied by wage growth. They keep talking job numbers as if that alone pays the bills.
That's not unexpected, since Clinton and his DLC, the modus operandi has been to court the right wing vote, and as they do, the entire party shifts to the right to accommodate them.
Not when inflation has exceeded wage growth
