The
economy was threadbare at best prior to the pandemic due mainly to
policies that benefited republican donors infinitely more than to the
working class in this country. When you have 42 million people in
poverty prior to a pandemic, something is not kosher. Trump, in his
finite wisdom, thinks the stock market is the economy. It's only one of
several barometers determining a portion of the economy.
IMO, the
economy is only properly functioning when democracy reaches into all
aspects of society. Fair wages, a diminution of CEO pay in favor of
workers' benefits, incentives for corporations who follow this logic and
improvement of working conditions would improve and equalize the
economy. This can be accomplished if Democrats, who famously care about
logic, an economy that works for everyone (bubble up as opposed to the
BS of trickle-down), control the House, the Senate and the presidency.
We got a lot done under Obama's first year, but republicans were so
incensed by a black man holding the office, they formed the racist
teabagger...er...tea party movement (akin to a loose bowel movement),
which has metastasized since Obama left into the trumpist movement (akin
to explosive diarrhea) that is so toxic, people are regarding science
as a taboo. Extremes don't help a society survive, whether it be left or
right. Democrats have become more progressive, which is a good thing,
but it has been tempered by logical thinking. Carville as opposed to AOC
if you want an analogy. We have to win on a massive scale, inviting all
stripes to defeat the COVIDIOT IN CHEAP. I think we will, if we are
allowed a fair election process. That said, it's an uphill battle. Polls
be damned, we must proceed as if Biden is trailing the trump.
I believe
in my fellow democrats and that we can do it. I've been a strong
progressive Democrat since 1975 when I turned 18. I will never be
otherwise. LET'S ORGANIZE, MOBILIZE AND WIN!
