Democrats now the party of plutocracy

One Cheer for Plutocracy

One Cheer for Plutocracy

The plot to marginalize Bernie Sanders: The shared agenda that links Fox News ...
America, today, is much closer to a plutocracy than a democracy. Corporations write our laws, buy our elections, and dictate political discourse. That's nakedly anti-democratic, and Sanders is one of the few candidates proposing to do something about it.

We're Not Sandernistas: Reinventing the Wheels of Bernie's Bandwagon

Americans Are Just Beginning To Unleash Their Superpower!

March 2, 2025 By Ted Leave a Comment

American Consumer Spending Makes Up 70% of the GDP. This is an American Superpower that has been largely untapped until now. Consumer boycotts are springing up all over the country, targeting companies, corporations, and organizations whose values are opposed to the wishes and votes of the American Voter.

The Real Destroyer of Democracy is the Republican Party – And Here’s How to Stop Them

February 21, 2025 By Ted Leave a Comment

The Real Destroyer of Democracy is the Republican Party and here’s how to STOP them. I love this country and Democracy but what Trump and Doge are doing is Anti-Democratic.

Democracy Needs Your Help

February 17, 2025 By Ted Leave a Comment

I use to believe that democracy needed two parties since the exchange of ideas made our Democracy stronger. The Republican party is no longer the party of Lincoln. It’s a cult whose fealty is to Trump, a dangerous and some say, sociopathic narcissist, who seems bent on concentrating all power in himself,  stealing money through […]

Trump’s Supreme Court Gets It Wrong – Many Americans Will Die!

December 1, 2020 By D Alert Leave a Comment

The Conservative Trump Supreme court gets it wrong and many Americans will die. The conservative Trump court voted against New York’s 10 and 25 person capacity limits.
