Tuesday’s election results demolished the conventional wisdom that Democrats need to run cautious, corporate-friendly centrists to win in purple and red states.
As a Minnesotan I have been so happy with the DFL here. I was so happy when he hit the national spot. Running progressive and focusing on pocketbook issues instead of playing catch-up against whatever cultural issue the Republicans want to play. You can still support minorities but stay on message of helping everyone
Logically it makes sense too; Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
If people basic needs aren’t met, it’s hard to care about anything (or anyone) else.
Meet everyone’s basic needs, and we stop the infighting. That’s the real reason the oligarchs want to gut social safety nets. If we’re not afraid for ourselves, we’ll start caring about others.
If we all start caring about others and can plan past the next pay check, suddenly everyone realizes billionaires are the problem.
Yes, this so much!! The right-wings mock empathy, when that is what we need more of, like the song, What the World Needs Now! And end their artificial scarcity.
