21. We absolutely MUST abandon the corporate overlords and return to labor.

Labor should be everything. The workers vs the ruling class. That should be the message. All workers. Enough of the culture war nonsense. Enough of the purity tests. Workers vs. ruling class.

Healthcare for all.
Education for all.
Housing for all.
A union job for everyone.

These people are supposed to represent US not the moneyed interests. I’m sick of this bullshit where we pretend it’s ok to take money from these parasites because they’re ostensibly on “our” side.

There’s so much wealth and so many resources in this country, it’s time to let these money addicts know who really has the power. They’re way too comfortable fucking everyone over with no consequences and that has to stop. They need to be afraid of us. We need to stand together.

Obviously, I’m NOT a happy camper right now.
