Day 131:
It’s all bananas:
Trump is running around the world breaking things, he is dismantling national monuments here at home, but we can’t lose sight of what we need to do here. Trump is the symptom of a problem, not the cause of it. The fact that income inequality has gotten so out of hand is the problem. The fact that the democratic party is not an opposition party anymore is the problem. The money corrupting politics is the problem.
To fix all these problems we need to vote in strong progressive candidates that will replace republican and corporate democrats.
Stay focused on your local elections, your house and senate run, get out the old corrupt money taking assholes and put in a new crop of progressive fighters.
Fight, love, fight, win!
