General Discussion

I especially appreciate your point about how the legislative conversations were centered around the corporations. Remember the research that shows the little people have a vanishingly small chance that legislation they favor will be passed by ANY flavor of congress unless the wealthy and/or corporations also support it? So when people insist we just need to vote vote vote, there’s no acknowledgement that a change in congress and/or presidency is no guarantee that the little people will experience truly progressive legislation.

I think the pressure by consultants will be enormous to just get back to how things were, like when government bailed out the banks who broke the economy but not the people victimized by them. I’m not saying don’t vote. I’m just less sanguine that the Schumer-led Senate and Jefferies-led House will make life dramatically better for the little people.
