2 parties are coopted by money.

civil disobedience and putting fear into those with power in corporate board rooms and political offices is the only solution. an example of this is the non violent aspects of occupy wall st, BLM, and extinction rebellion.

only a heavily regulated capitalism can save us, if we are to stick with capitalism.

Capital is behind the Woke movement. Freemasons and tiny hat crew are destroying society to rebuild it into something more fitting to their use.

I have no doubt that both political parties, hell all political parties in every nation probably favor the interests of rich people. I have no doubt that democrats are very disappointing in that regard, but of the two parties in America, they are the only one that will even pay attention to real populist economic policies, there is a small lefty/socialist faction in the democratic party. the republican party doesn't even pretend to care. On a basic level republican economic ideology is against the minimum wage. trump during the last debate questioned the need for the minimum wage at one point. the republican party is vehemently anti-unionization, whenever auto plants in the south try to unionize, republican politicians threaten those workers with taking away that plant's subsidies. The trump tax cuts go almost entirely to the top 5% of wage earners. Again if a voter wants even a slime chance of getting any populist economic policies, republicans are actively hostile to that agenda.

i imagine you'll be voting for trump now that biden said he would eliminate your source of income?

agreed both are nonsense labels . the left loves their labels to mask their lacking solid policy positions.

They are not humans (Homo Sapiens)?
All humans came out of Africa ... if you believe in SCIENCE!

How can you say that?
Please support that statement.

How does science say that?

I do not believe science teaches that.
Science is truth. Support science.

Are your yard crew legal residents or citizens of this nation?

Biden was VP for 8 years. This industry did well. they praised nature gas, and fracking, but the handwriting is on the wall for this industry and that has nothing to do with Biden. Just like it was for the coal industry. People will buy more electric cars this is inevitable, there will be more electric semi trucks, maybe electric planes, etc. I don't know exactly what the future holds, but I deal with objective reality. Climate change is real and the peak demand for fossil fuels may have passed, and we will be managing a slow decline. I remember when I got this job I looked up the forecast for job growth this was back in 2005 and it was saying then these jobs would decline in the future. This predates Biden, he was just stating obvious reality that's already occurring.

It is Capitalism that has forced a moral feud and a commercial competition between the sexes; that has destroyed the influence of the parent in favor of the influence of the employer; that has driven men from their homes to look for jobs; that has forced them to live near their factories or their firms instead of near their families; and, above all, that has encouraged for commercial reasons, a parade of publicity and garish novelty, which is in its nature the death of all that was called dignity and modesty by our mothers and fathers.”

— G.K. Chesterton (1935)

Chris Hedges — 'Unfettered capitalism is a revolutionary force that consumes greater and greater numbers of human lives until it finally consumes itself.'
