       We are at war. Trump wants to end our freedoms. It's time for Democratic leaders to grasp that. They need to use every legal means available to vocally push back including creating a shadow cabinet like in the UK.

       @DeanObeidallah Can certainly utilize leverage legal means.But we are dealing with a fascist regime. The fascist regime means the institutions of democracy don’t work.Organizing to defeat fascism is different than organizing for democratic action. This may be the greatest hurdle for people who normally work in the legal system. You are going to have to rely on your inter, internal sense of morality in the face of the world. You now have to confront.

       @GhostOnTheHalfShell @DeanObeidallah we need to organize a league in opposition to the Gaza genocide, the US Israeli war on WENA, and Trump's Nazi agenda to turn America into a white Christian ethnostate.

       @burnoutqueen @DeanObeidallah My perspective is that the people who bankrolled the GOP in its current form conservatism and its current form that is a lot of billionaires have to be brought down to earth.Corporations breed billionaires. It’s only through the stock value of corporations and their network of ownership, which is quite insane by the way that gives them that net worth, which is used to finance our subjugation.

       @burnoutqueen @DeanObeidallah If you go back to the original definition of left and right, you understand what the people on the writer about their about restoring, absolute monarchy and absolute hierarchy.Broligarchy are openly dedicated to destroying democracy & market economies, and replacing it with totalitarian rule.In my book, what you call them is enemy of our own liberty and our own prosperity. No rational society, abides a class of people out to subjugate the majority.

       @GhostOnTheHalfShell @DeanObeidallah market economies are a root of the problem. You cannot have a market economy without a ruling oligarchy in practice.

       @burnoutqueen @DeanObeidallah I won’t agree here because typically capitalism has confounded the notion of a market economy with itself. The two are not identical. The more significant the economic consolidation the less an economy can be qualified as market driven.Oligarchy is anti-free choice anti-liberty and it is coercive. Market economies don’t even need to run on a profit. Worker co-ops exist and thrive even in contest with oligarchies they don’t have to run on a profit motive.
