Here’s some perspective.
Americans:
•Cancel student debt!
•Cancel medical debt!
•Make insulin free!
Most of Developed World:
•What is student debt?
•What is medical debt?
•Insulin is already free!
What GOP calls “socialism”—even conservative parties in most developed nations call a “human right.”
@QasimRashid
Currently, Americans have a choice between a center-right party and an ultra-right-wing fascist party.
It’s time to move America center.
@bigheadtales @QasimRashid I've voted Democrat for 50+ years and what was radical left when I was 18 is now "center-right"?
If Hillary hadn't been trashed like this, we'd be far ahead in the goals we worked 60 yrs. to achieve.
Instead we have a medieval SCOTUS, lost hope of our last chance to keep Earth habitable, lost voting, women's, and equal rights, and it can get worse.
Because it was worse. And "far right" has laid their plans for 50 years to make it worse again.
@EarthOne @bigheadtales @QasimRashid I think you got that backwards. Things that would have been center-right when you were 18 (government spending to keep housing, education and healthcare affordable) are now considered "radical leftist" policies.
90% of what kids these days want are the strong social programs of the Post-War Boom but not systematically denied to minority groups this time around.
@EarthOne @QasimRashid
Don’t misunderstand, I’m a Democratic supporter.
But what I’m saying is that anywhere else in the world, the American Democratic Party, at least based on their actions, would be considered center-right. That’s how far right the Republicans have dragged the country.
That said, if we want change, we need to vote Democratic, every race, every election, from POTUS to dog catcher.

#BlueMAGA strukes again.
##Vote3rdParty
I agree with Harry Belafonte (Rest In Power)
@EarthOne @bigheadtales @QasimRashid
The DNC is much more of a right wing tool than when I first voted in 1972.
There is only 1 real solution.
Withdraw support.
Vote 3rd Party.
@PensiveTM
I would love to hear your plan for elevating a third (or more) party.
I’m all for multiple parties, but I don’t see a viable to get there save for a massive collapse within one party or a long term, planned, supported, funded generational effort.
@PensiveTM Sure, in local culture or possibly state races, or in Congress.
If you can build to having enough seats for a swing vote, a third party could take hold. But I’ve not seen anything remotely of that scale in my lifetime (in the US).
Right now, third parties in the POTUS race just siphon off votes on the left, ceding ground to the fascist right.
But local and state is a good start.
