    I wouldn’t hold my breath if I was you. The current DNC is too afraid that they’ll scare off the rich donors if they attack Republicans. They’re worried about collateral damage if they take pot shots and accidentally hit one of the rich donors.

    Both the GOP and the DNC want to focus on culture war bullshit rather than anything class related because neither wants to do anything that would run counter to the interests of the ultra wealthy.

        They aren’t, though. The whole reason Trump is crashing the economy is so his rich donors can buy up everything for cheap

          sooner or later you’re going to run into somebody who’s crunching the numbers and is losing tons and tons of money you’re not just generating funds by watching the market spiral down. Yes this thing will with all best intense start bouncing back upwards and will improve but that doesn’t mean in the meantime that things aren’t going to be extremely bad and you may end up seeing almost literal bloodshed from some companies simply due to the manner in which things are made and as much as we want to complain about this we don’t have the ability to just up and make manufacturing. Nor do you just have the ability to make capacity overnight. To steal an old quote. Rome wasn’t built overnight. In the same time Neither did we paint ourselves into this corner. These things tend to be fixed easier when you give it time as opposed to trying to do knee-jerk reactions that end up just sending everything into absolute turmoil for no particular reason other than the current Any change is at least change…?

      Got it in stereo, even. Yep. I agree. That’s why I put the ‘if they are willing to take it’ in. They most likely aren’t because of what you cited in your reply, though.
