Why is Josh Hawley still in the Senate two years after provoking a deadly insurrection against the U.S. government? And why hasn't Trump been prosecuted yet?

@rbreich

Democrats helped create/enable this disaster so I have no reason to think they're going to get us out of it, unless we somehow force them to. They're still worried about civility and outdated talking points.

@ruby @rbreich

The same neoliberal coin.

Whichever way you flip it..

@peterrelph2 @ruby @rbreich Labor and Democrats are slightly less malignant though.

@serehfas @peterrelph2 @rbreich

Of course. They want us to die much slower than the right does. But in answer to Secretary Reich's question, they are a big part of the reason why there have been no meaningful consequences for the ongoing attacks on democracy and human rights in the US.

They lack the vision and the guts to fight for this country. We have to make it untenable for them to stay in power without doing something to protect the future of our planet and our communities.

@ruby @serehfas @rbreich

They have different roles to play in the pantomime their masters are enacting with their puppets to pretend opposition & hence democracy.
The puppets, the parties, are irrelevant, it is those who own & drive them that are the issue & they do not change regardless of which of their puppets are in apparent government.
Punch & Judy in UK folk puppetry.
World Championship Wrestling maybe in American terms.

@peterrelph2 @ruby @serehfas @rbreich I want to believe that democracy can exist. The billionaire masters you cite win because they coordinate across borders to outflank any national attempt to restrain them. Across the world, people who want to preserve democracy are going to have to figure out our own ways to coordinate - ways to outflank across borders for the common good.
@davidarnell @ruby @serehfas @rbreich
They first have to realise that they have lost it.

@davidarnell @ruby @serehfas @rbreich

They do not just outflank, they already own the forces that we would need to protect ourselves..
