2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: As A Bernie supporter, I am fine banning any poster who thinks Hillary = Trump..... [View all]Dragonfli
(10,622 posts)of the first on the list that fell since it was created (I do not know the original graphic artist).
I do intend to cross off those that fall as they fall and repost it each time, my hope is that the last form of government standing, the one that will likely use it's power to cement itself as permanent for a time will be neither Fascism, nor Oligarchy.
I am already quite ill, with less than ten years to live at best, as little as perhaps five and do not wish to live under either of those authoritarian evil governments, that will each in their own way, cause great harm and even kill many those not endowed with power or wealth.
I want to live under a government that sees the working class and poor people as humans, not cannon fodder, a base of power, mindless followers or commodities.
I an a Democrat and like FDR and Democrats after him, (until the early nineties) I believe in a party of the people. A party of the working class and an equality of civil liberty.
I was born and raised poor and then working poor, and until my loss of health combined with the neoliberal dream of job outsourcing and tax cuts made manifest by Democrats uniting with Republicans for both, I had reached the American dream and then watch as it was denied me and my class - the dream of a blue collar middle class happy American.
I am now back to my extreme poor roots and already see the rise of homelessness and hunger in my own community in the richest country in the world and quite frankly.
Enough is enough!
