Day 132:
The hit parade of stupid rolls on:
Donald Trump is not qualified to be president, every action he takes proves it. From blunders on the world stage, to his idiot twitter habits. HE is simply the worst president of the modern era. Which is striking considering just how shitty all the presidents have been since say Johnston (Kennedy and Carter maybe get a pass, maybe).
This must be an opportunity grabbed by the progressive left to really clean house, both on the right, and the slightly less right (corporate democrats). If we come out of next year elections with anything less than a whole crop of new progressives in office, it will have been a total failure to strike while the stupid is hot.
As always remember, Trump and Clinton were the symptoms, the logical end point, of a system that is broken. Treat the illness, not the symptoms!
Free public college, living wage, pay equity for women, paid family leave, HEALTH CARE FOR ALL, environmental sustainability, money out of politics, regulate the banks, end the wars!
