THE VAST LEFT-WING CONSPIRACY…
is fiction. What the USA calls “moderate” is right-of-center
neo-liberalism. What we call “liberal” is middle of the road moderate. And
because of this, many Leftists feel disenfranchised by the system.
But we are a powerful majority! And we cannot afford
to wait for perfect conditions or candidates. Or despair that “the whole system
needs to change,” therefore why do anything at all? There are many changes
within our reach. Changes we can have if we act together, in unison. NOW.
We need to take a page from the Republican playbook.
They can count on any candidate that is anti-choice, anti-immigration, and
pro-gun. Most Republicans and right-wing
extremists will vote a straight red ticket for these three issues, regardless
of what else is at stake.
The Left needs to learn from this and demand a similar
devotion from the Democrats on three core issues:
1. $15 an
hour minimum wage and a union for every job. (And it really should be $22/hour now. A living wage is in
relation to the cost of living.)
2. Medicare
for All/ Universal Health Care
3. Free
College
Can you spare one
minute today to call your Democratic representatives and candidates and ask
them to pledge commitment to these three issues? Oneminuterevolution.blogspot.com
