Tim Snyder is correct: If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money and tackle our corrupt system. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

I like this idea. If maga politicians (who were elected to serve their constituents instead of serving big money donors and lobbies) fail to have Town Halls, then the constituents should conduct their own with an empty chair on the stage. First, invite them, and then hold the Town Hall. #townhall

We're truly in the magical thinking age of children again. We can say anything, regardless of how racist, ridiculous or impossible it is. Staying it over and over until some people are convinced. Because they want to believe it. Because truth is more scary to them.

Yep. That's the whole point. They're not even trying to hide it anymore, folks. Every single member of the GOP can be bought, and bought cheaply (as can quite a few dems, unfortunately). Think it will ever change? Not as long as the same folks accepting bribes are the ones allowing it to happen.
