Replace “woke” with “common sense” and the whole grift is clear. Common sense laws and policies help people. You can’t take advantage of the lower 99% when common sense laws and policies are in place.

I had wanted to engage in an exchange of ideas and views but we couldn’t get past this. I agreed that the Gov has really failed most Americans, especially those that are not the top earners. But blaming immigrants instead of billionaires and big corporate is worth exploring with different eyes.
