(19,164 posts)Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been barnstorming the entire effing country with a positive message for months, and people say "well, the Democrats are silent, have nothing to offer"
BULLSHIT
Maybe SOME high-profile Democrats are kind of silent.
Here's an excerpt from an email I got from Bernie.
THIS IS GREAT STUFF and
It gets wild, enthusiastic response.
Expect even greater response as the wrecking ball hits more and more of the U.S.A.
From Bernie:
People attending rallies in huge numbers are saying
YES to raising the minimum wage,
YES to expanding Social Security,
YES to guaranteeing health care as a human right,
YES to cutting the cost of prescription drugs,
YES to paid family and medical leave,
YES to equal pay for equal work,
YES to more affordable housing,
YES to making childcare and higher education affordable to all,
YES to taking on the existential threat of climate change.
And most importantly they are saying
YES to a government and an economy that works for all of us and not just the billionaire class and the Oligarchs.
