Watch Out for Neo-Liberal Democrats





"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi 
(D-Calif.) remained seated 
but was spotted applauding 
when Trump said the 
United States would not be 
a "socialist country." 

Anyone else want to throw up?


I know lots of people love Pelosi and Biden, but I don't. I consider them part of the problem. (Reckoner's Note: Many sources, online and off, took Pelosi's clapping for Trump as a sarcastic gesture, not an approving one. )They are bought and sold, same as Republicans. Biden even once told millennials to "stop complaining".  

When I am shown pictures of 70 year Baby Boomers and told 70 is the new 50. I think way to go with silencing younger people.  That's another way they are silencing the needs of younger people too. I guess Generation X will never get a voice until we are in the nursing home ourselves and then it may be too late.

Neo-liberals in the Democratic party basically are yesterday's Republicans, both parties have moved further to the right. When you vote make sure you are voting for real liberals as much as possible instead of mega-corporate wolves in sheep's clothing. 

Now that there are some voices like AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) and Bernie coming to the forefront to stand against this and try to make real changes, understand within the Democratic party there's going to be a battle. The neo-liberals had long enough to destroy people's lives and sell out to the Republican party. I blame them for empowering the likes of Trump and the rest. --The Squawker

Dystopian Future or Progress?



Hey, Libertarians, how's the every man for himself edicts working out for you? Being disabled, I was automatically cut from their circles being a disabled "governmental mooch". Sadly their beliefs have spread in the Republican party. 

Years ago I drew a cartoon where the libertarians had produced a Mad Max world, where one had to arm up to get groceries and pay a toll to go down every road. One could do drugs to your heart's content but get sick, and it was game over.

I wish a new word beyond "Socialist" could be used as the Republican bots go on about Communists, ignoring the success of societies like Finland for the misery of Venezuela. It's obvious Western Europe on many fronts has progressed beyond America as we are left behind in the dust, and that America canard "self-reliance" is used to impoverish people further. 

It's not mystery to me why the Republican party has joined hand in hand with the mythos of right-wing religion and now seeks to discredit science.  Dark Ages or Progress? Rich greedy jerks usually choose dark ages, because it means more money for them. This country is at a crossroads. The two futures above await. Which will it be? --The Squawker
