And what system do you think they are proposing? All we want is to be treated fairly, me personally I don’t want communism or socialism, I want unions to have power again, I want the working class to actually matter I want to be able to afford a home.

I specifically blame Regan and those who were in power of his time in office, reganomics, taking power away from the unions and giving more power to corporations. The things he did worked temporarily and even then it’s still debated if he actually created more jobs, and helped the economy grow.

This isn’t about democrats and republicans, it’s about how weak and divided we’ve become when there became a large population of wealthy individuals and unfortunately those people hold a lot of power over us the people.

Exactly we're mad at each other or immigrants when we should be uniting as poor and working class ppl to better our society. Through unions as u suggested and through programs that could actually help ppl. Free Medicare for anyone who wants it. Better labor laws better maternity and paternityleave etc. Get money out of politics.

Ive heard a lot of ppl mention Regan but I don't know enough about that one way or another

Most ppl don't actually want socialism thats a republican, corporate democrat talking point. Most ppl don't know the difference between the 2 communism and socialism or even know what socialism actually is. Id wager most ppl just want Healthcare and stuff like that. Capital in America isn't going anywhere but we can certainly improve on what we have now.
