Undecided...?

...can't you see?

...Democrats will do you some good...Republicans don't like that, they want your money for tax breaks for themselves and the rich...

...they're having their corporate partners jack-up the price of everything so you won't vote Democratic...

...they want to make abortions illegal nationwide, they refuse to accept election results unless they win, they lie and try to overturn elections by force, they want to privatized Social Security and Medicare and turn them into corporate slush-funds, they support bigotry and antisemitism all the while pretending to be on your side...

...we need more Democracy not less Democracy, we need more Democrats not less Democrats...

...it's your future, it's your country, open your eyes...

...thank you and may God bless...

"...it's democracy, stupid..."

...without democracy inflation, abortion, student debt, immigration, taxes and many other issues you may think of will be off the agenda and out of your hands...

...without democracy your future, your family's future, our future will be uncertain, fragile and solely at the mercy of the state...

...without democracy your right to associate, assemble, to travel, to start a business, defend a political idea or challenge authority will be severely restricted and controlled...

...you can not lead a free life or be free without democracy...you can not lead a free life or be free in an authoritarian state...

...if you want to continue to be free and live your free life then you MUST vote the Democratic Party...

...if you want to live a state-run life under new authoritarian rulers and rules then vote the Republican Party...

...there is no more UNDEMOCRATIC major political party in America today than the Republican Party...

...it's that clear, it's that simple...

To any Republican senior...

...there are many reasons for inflation and your thinning wallet, the pandemic, Ukraine, Putin, supply chain issues and problems, wall street, oil companies, corporate greed and corruption, etc.

...you might not like us Dems but at least we want to see you to continue to receive your Social Security check and Medicare..and that's more than I can say for your Republican leadership...

...if your money's getting thin and your bills are increasing you may want to consider voting Dem or at least stay home and not fuck things up worse with a Republican vote...the Republican Party's solution to inflation has always been tax cuts for the rich and massive unemployment for everyone else, remember Ray-gun and Volcker?

...8.7% COLA increase might not be the greatest but at least it beats what your Party is willing to give you...

...just a thought...

if you build on a volcano...

...and it erupts and destroys your property, should we directly or indirectly be forced to financially help you rebuild or to even save your ass?

...I don't think so...

if putin uses nukes...

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11234251/America-hit-Russias-military-devastating-strike-Putin-nukes-Ukraine-says-general.html

...looks like we can do a lot of Russian military damage without resorting to nukes...

...ever wonder what the situation would look like today if putin's good friend trump had won in 2020 (or might win in 2024)?

...would trump still believe putin over our intelligence services?

...probably...

amazing...

...last weekend was Labor Day weekend...absolutely nothing on broadcast TV about Labor, Unions, their history, what's happening today or advice creating a Labor Union...just regular shitty programming...

...last week the Queen of England died and this weekend we've had nothing but 24/7 wall-to-wall broadcast TV coverage on the Queen and her royal family...this will probably continue for weeks to come...

...Labor/Unions have meant a lot to me over my lifespan providing me and others with an equitable, prosperous, participatory life...

...so, something very important to a working person like me is totally ignored while something totally meaningless to a working person like me is jammed down my throat...

...no wonder why working people like me hate the slimy corporate media in this country...fuck 'em

...absolutely amazing...

Red states are making me Blue...

...how's this

Let's have a Blue State Sub-Constitutional Convention. We would adhere to our current federal Constitution but fill in it's political, social and monetary gaps as we saw fit. The Blue State Sub-Constitution would bring Blue States additional support and rights not currently being provided by the federal Constitution. We would fight any and all expansion of federal spending or power.

Blue States doing business in a brother Blue State would receive special governmental favors, benefits and treatment. We would have a rotating Blue State sub-capitol and parliament meeting regularly under a Blue State Sub-Constitution.

Like NATO, a Red State turning Blue could join the Blue States only if all member Blue States agreed. Any Blue State turning Red could also be ejected by a unanimous vote.

Let's become the United Blue States of America and tell those stonewalling, money sucking, social managing fascist Red States to fuck-off.

...I like it...

Who's more powerful...

...trump or the U.S. government?

...it's been almost two years since trump tried to steal the election and he's not in prison or even close to being imprisoned...

...I say trump's more powerful...

...what do you say?

price to be paid...

...have you seen your natural gas bill?

...have you seen your electric bill?

...have you seen your grocery bill?

...have you seen your rent bill?

...have you seen your property tax bill?

...have you seen the price of gasoline?


...take gasoline...where's the windfall profit tax and a government rebate check to everyone with a driver's license?

...if you think November is going to be peachy, you're whistling past the graveyard...

...hang in there...
