Related: About this forumFareed Zakaria's laughable attack on Democratic candidates.
"We already have one major party that now routinely twists facts, disregards evidence, ignores serious policy analysis and makes stuff up to appeal to peoples emotions and prejudices. If the Democrats start moving along this path as well, American politics will truly descend into a new dark age."https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-left-is-bubbling-with-ideas-theyre-just-the-wrong-ones/2019/02/21/3d751f92-361b-11e9-854a-7a14d7fec96a_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.4d639422b4f1
Just because the hugely successful GOP lies like dogs and delivers for their base, doesn't mean Democrats shouldn't do everything they can to help their long-suffering constituents. The Dems have largely failed for 40 years. So it's high time they start fighting back and that is what our candidates are finally doing.
I really like Fareed Zakaria and he makes an excellent case for alternatives to the "wealth tax." He also incorrectly bashes medicare for all. Look where we are--our government is doing nothing for working Americans while the Trump GOP continues to harm us through his tax on working people, declaring fake emergencies, getting us into stupid foreign wars, and taking the right of choice away from women. Fareed, stop defending the status quo because this suffering must stop and the GOP dictatorship must end once and for all.
