It is hard to overstate how damaging trickle-down economics has been for the American economy. It has eviscerated our tax code and empowered a class of oligarchs that dominate our political system.

@rbreich it would be kinda nice if the Dem party took this seriously and I don’t know 🤔 ran on it 🤷‍♂️

@voron @rbreich The corporate sponsors that pay for campaigns will not fund anyone who tries to primary on this issue

@smn @rbreich well then I guess it’s just impossible and we should give up

@voron @smn @rbreich there are politics beyond electoralism.

@voron @rbreich well, no, I'm just saying don't expect Democrats to be able to solve this problem. To be clear I'm not advocating voting against them either, at least not while there's no viable option further to left. I'm just saying that the political landscape has to change quite a bit before we can expect to see prominent anti-corporate leadership.

@smn @rbreich Here is the thing, the only way to solve the problem is to make it an issue draw attention to it and bang away at it with message discipline.
The Dem party does the opposite again and again the national party will go all in IN FAVOR of the pro mega rich candidates seen it over and over

@smn @rbreich So what I’m saying is voters have to realize the current Dem leadership isn’t the answer and we have to change it
