Thought on Politically Inactive "Trees"

 On a thread on The Hill, on a posting I can no longer locate, I made the following comments about the need for democratic behavior on the part of everyday people as well as leaders.  

💦💦💦:  No, the left doesn't, especially where working-poor people bother to read. This is why wealth and power distribution is so much more even in Europe and Canada.

 

👀👀👀:  What can the Dems offer? If they're serious and have enough votes in Congress, higher minimum wages, more equitable health insurance, and cleaner air, water, and soil. Call these things "the gibs" all you want, but this country still doesn't need most of the wealth and power going to just some tiny minority of rich whites. Or trillions of tax dollars going to military boondoggles instead of disabled veterans, elders, or struggling workers.

 

😜😜 the Deplorable:  Be as deplorable as you want. The people you support only win because low-income people are either too dumb to use their votes, or they are being gerrymandered out; and I once asked a fellow commenter, "Where's the anti-vote-rigging equivalent of Black Lives Matter?" These poor people are on a quest for personal dignity, but handsome is as handsome does, and inactive trees cannot bear pro-active fruit. When they finally show up at their own party, your beloved anti-poor and anti-minority ideologies will fail.
