Lady Bunny Instagram – I’m not sure who said that “Democracy can’t exist without an informed electorate.” Yet here we are in an election year, and the media which should inform us is misleading us daily.
Michael Rapaport isn’t far-left. I’m considered far-left bc I support Medicare 4 All, higher min wage, paid sick leave, cutting war budgets, etc. But in Europe, where universal healthcare is more common, I would be just plain ol’ left. Rappaport is a centrist Dem, which would be called center-right in Europe, as would Biden. And by the way, I’m not aware of any far-left voters who are warming up to supporting Trump. I’m not saying that there are zero of them, but how left can you if you consider voting for GOP?
Sorry, NY Post! Fox says stuff like this nightly, that Biden is under the sway of far-left politicians like AOC & Bernie Sanders. I wish! Maybe Joe would’ve achieved 1/3 of his legislative goals if he were. Billionaire-owned corporate media seeks to paint anyone remotely progressive as far-left to denigrate them. You’ll notice that all news media left & right paints the millions of pro-Palestinian protestors as far-left, also. It’s a smear. Medicare 4 All, higher min wage & a ceasefire are majority-supported positions, not the stuff of fringe lefties. Why don’t editors want you to know that?
PS: The truly far-left are socialists & communists. I don’t think there are any card-carrying socialists elected to national office. There’s Claudia Cruz and Karina Garcia running in the Socialist party, but they’re polling at 2-3%. And AOC & Bernie Sanders destroyed their progressive credibility by early-endorsing Biden. I’d love to know where Fox & NY Post think these socialists are hiding.
What are some of the “scary” government programs we enjoy because at one time, progressives weren’t powerless? Public schools, roads, libraries, unemployment, fire departments and Social Security. In fact, Social Security and unemployment came about not because FDR was a great president of the people, but because people demanded a social safety net after the Depression. FDR told us to make him do it and people did. Dems today demand nothing except that the president not be Trump. | Posted on 04/Feb/2024 20:55:33
