The DFL is no one any of us should be looking to for guidance or action. They've proven that much. What we need now are viable primary opponents to take out the scummy fossils enriching themselves on our backs while delivering quippy, meaningless platitudes from their soap boxes.
They have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they can’t be relied upon. It’s long past time for a new and it sickens me to think that Chuck Schumer will pop his calcified neck up in 12 months and try to solicit my vote for this weak ass party.
What this comes down to for me...is I've been hearing the same talking points in every national election for my entire life. We're going to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies to lower drug prices through Medicaid. That helps a fraction of the population and leaves the rest of us vulnerable.
We're going to invest in renewables to prevent climate change. But we've been kicking that can down the road so long that our infrastructure is being jeopardized 6 months out of 12 every single year. Crop yields are suffering as drought becomes more common. And a mass extinction event is imminent
as of 2050. 25 years from now. Al Gore sounded the alarm 25 years ago, when this was still fixable. We're going to bring down costs for Americans. But rents are at an all time high, inflation has made grocery prices skyrocket year over year for almost a decade, and we haven't seen a minimum wage
increase in over 20 years. Meanwhile, five companies control out food supply. Three control our media. 5 control the books we read. And something like 8 control our energy and fuel. We're going to solve the student loan crisis. But we got here because they exempted those loans from bankruptcy
and refuse to restrict tuition increases to the national rate of inflation. And now they're rolling back provisions that would have prevented millions of people from defaulting on loans they cannot pay, which will follow them until they die.
This is because the DFL and the GOP are paid off, bought and sold, by the same people. The legacies who have been there for decades are more interested in enriching themselves than solving any of our dinner table issues. Why then should they get our vote? Why, when they don't serve us?
