Sander’s laid low during the Biden presidency to work with the Democrats and get legislation passed to help working Americans. Well, he’s back, and thank Dog for that.
I was at the Trump inauguration yesterday and needless to say I disagree with much of what he had to say but what really struck me however is not what he said which was not surprising given his rhetoric but what he didn't say what he didn't say the simple truth is that Donald Trump gave a major speech the first speech of his second presidency and ignored virtually every important issue facing the Working Families of this country . How. Crazy. Is that?
He goes on to list those concerns: health [insurance] and housing crises, wealth inequality, climate change, a closed higher education system, the non-living wage, struggling trade unions, oligarchs and plutocrats, and our corrupt “campaign finance” system. He concludes:
We cannot panic...our goal remains the same. We’ve got to educate. We’ve got to organize. We’ve gotta put pressure on Congress to do the right thing. ** ** ** We’ve got to...fight to create an America based on economic, social, racial and environmental justice.
Hell yeah. Sign me up.
