Recall, for example, Obama — a terrible president and self-serving grifter — conspiring to destroy Social Security. Or Clinton destroying welfare and deregulating the banks. Or Biden pushing through a bankruptcy “reform” bill written by the credit card companies.

Or any number of campaigns where the party endlessly talks about “prescription drug prices” only in the vaguest of terms, because, of course, they plan to do nothing to fix price gouging.

Or how the party refuses to lift a finger to push for universal health care, or a livable wage, of Social Security benefit increases, or labor protections, or anything at all. It is a corrupt party that must be burnt to the ground.

We desperately need a constitutional convention, if America had any political consciousness we’d be having a nationwide general strike demanding a clear set of changes. But we’re a nation of morons.

In the US? Good luck, the average voter’s head is so filled with right wing propaganda and DNC talking points they can’t tell which way is up. But we need an actual left with solid policies focused on service delivery— that means giving money and services to voters as an outcome of their vote.
