Great article, but reading through the comments as someone outside of America and learning how the “elected officials” have total disdain and refuse to engage with the people they are supposed to be representing, I don’t think solutions will come from waiting for Democrats to step up.

Great article, but reading through the comments as someone outside of America and learning how the “elected officials” have total disdain and refuse to engage with the people they are supposed to be representing, I don’t think solutions will come from waiting for Democrats to step up. They have shown themselves to be completely complicit. It’s a hard truth to swallow, but the quicker people realize it, the quicker people can focus on other strategies.
And time is not on your side! I believe democrats are not fanning the flames of resistance because they serve the same corporate powers. Trump convinced many voters he would improve their personal economic situation but it is becoming clear that he is working for the oligarchs. This is the opportunity you need to seize now.
Put aside the childish dem vs rep battle cries. The powerful are united under one banner of greed, now the people need to unite under one banner. They use culture wars to distract while they destroy everything. Cost of living crisis is the way to connect on both sides.
In Greece during their economic crisis, activists set up soup kitchens and wide variety of mutual aid groups that provided material support and ALSO educated recipients on how disaster capitalism and bankers were intent on destroying their livelihoods for their own enrichment. They helped deflect the anger up at the powerful instead of down at the refugees - which is what every authoritarian government does- directing hate and blame at the weak to hide the actions of the rich. Similar community education classes exposing the real intentions of Elon Et al could turn Maga hate in a more proactive direction…. Someone should make a simple class lesson on the predatory capitalism of American oligarchs to share with the people. Worth a try!! Good luck!!!
