We should be embracing him and his policies all across the country and going further.

I’m so tired of this “we must protect the ruling class at all costs” horseshit. Fuck that. We need a new way or at the very least get back to the FDR way.

I remember when Seattle was voting on a $15 minimum wage increase in 2014 and local businesses said they couldn't stay in business. Well, the world did not end, there are still plenty of restaurants and businesses in Seattle. When marijuana was legalized in places the world did not end either.
