No, this is the opposite of the answer. You’ve fallen into the hands of those who want you to be obedient to a system that is delivering a worse and worse standard of living every year, while our partner countries obviously do better and somehow, even though we are richer than most of them, we CAN’T. The problem is not the people who keep insisting on wanting better, it's the guys in the middle who don't aim for the fence. Aiming for more than what you want will leave you close to what's wanted once the negotiating is done. Starting with a compromise and accepting less than that has been the Democratic dance (The Democratic Leadership Council Disease) for over 40 years. They are training you to accept less and less each time, while the people in the bottom 3rd of the country pay for it. You need to grow up and stand up for THEM. They are depending on you. Literally every Progressive goal was stymied right down to the Federal Miimum wage (going on 10 year for $15 as costs continue to rise) the most popular issue both sides agree on, and several items are solveable by the President himself with only the stroke of a pen but he sure loves those bankers and student loans. Dems are anything but powerless right now but they won't do their work because they're in the hands of the rich. Manchin and Sinema, especially for the big bill were actually the ones we could have overwritten. They were just the voluneer spolers. With the minimum wage loss, they choose to point the finger at someone with only advisory power in round 1, a bs excuse at best. Congress already had the ability in 4 different ways to override her and include the minimum wage. But they don't stand for the 99%, they stand for big donors. You have to stop feeding the greedy. Nothing will change until we're willing to do that as a country. The New Lefties aare working to change that, youre working to continue the people's loss of power and wealth, but they'll be inclusive in it, don't worry! This is just a study in controlled opposition.
