I think the only real lesson I’ve learned about American politics is that rich people will vote in their own interests and poor people won’t

The abdication of power by Congress is one of the main causes of the constitutional crisis that we’re in. A legislature that can’t legislate will give way to a dictatorship. Any hope for the future of popular government in America depends upon rebuilding Congress so it can represent the people.

1) Requires nearly unanimous, continuous support across the entire country and political spectrum 2) Can be accomplished by losing the popular vote twice

"Strongman” politicians project their supposed strength by attacking immigrants, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community. But these groups of people aren't the "threats" we should be worried about. Who is? The oligarchs who earn their keep by exploiting the rest of us.

When Trump bankrupts the United States, billionaires will simply move to another country. The failure to tax billionaires, and instead give them ridiculously lavish tax breaks, is putting a tremendous burden on the majority.
