    Let’s ignore the miasma of “false consciousness” and so- called “race”, and phony “so called “cultural politics”promulgated and embedded within the fragmented American working class, which operating according to plan, continues to be ignorant of it’s actual history and material interests and thus, votes against it’s actual interests

    Elon Musk is the new enemy. If you single him out, like Robert Reich called for in the Guardian, you will hurt your ability to reach the people you want to. If you are not seeing and calling out Dem billionaires, you will be marginal. I am saying that as someone with deep ties to Silicon Valley.

      There was no way he was gonna be able to drain the swamp. He was a "supposedly outsider" and didn't know who was who. He's got a 2nd term now so we'll know for sure how corrupt he is at the end of his 4 years. If he is corrupt he has pulled off one of the biggest mass psychosis trick ever. In saying that, it was the Democrats election to lose. Their last 4 years in government was so diabolical that people couldn't bring themselves to vote for them
