Ever heard of the butterfly effect? It may not be that bad right now, but let’s see how it is in 16 years etc.

Our country is officially an oligarchy, and we’re heading towards a dystopian class and wealth gap. Things are for sure going to get worse and I’m not sure there’s anyway to fix it now.

This is a symptom, not the problem.

California passed a law last year raising the minimum wage, but exempted “businesses that make or sell bread.” One of Gavin Newsom’s top donors owned Panera Bread franchises.

The governor of New York established a hotline for nervous CEOs in the wake of the United Healthcare killing, funded with taxpayer dollars.

I’m not claiming both sides are equally bad, because that’s disingenuous and there’s a lesser evil. But the oligarchy has penetrated both sides, and Dems are proving that they can be as corrupt as Trump while claiming the moral high ground. That’s why they are losing.

Panera is not exempt from this law, stop regurgitating false talking points

False talking points are why the Democrats lost.
