[Peace-discuss] certain issues that the corporate Democrats oppose, but that the majority of the American people support

[David Johnson]

I just posted this on Facebook -  

 

What is great about this segment of the JIMMY DORE SHOW is that he shows
poll numbers for certain issues that the corporate Democrats oppose, but
that the majority of the American people support. Like the following ; 

 

Medicare 4 All ( 70 % ), $ 15 per hour minimum wage ( 63 % ), Free college
tuition ( 60 % ), Green New Deal ( 81 % ), 70 % top tax rate on the wealthy
( 59 % ), Expanding Social Security ( 72 % ), Legalization of Cannabis ( 62
% ), End racist mass incarceration ( 65 % ), Same sex marriage ( 63 % ),
Keep Roe vs. Wade ( 69 % ), Immigration is good ( 75 % ), Net Neutrality (
83 % ), Stop climate change ( 61 % ), Campaign finance reform ( 77 % ),
Break-up big banks ( 57 % ), Guaranteed jobs program ( 64 % ), Tax the rich
( 76 % ), More taxes on corporations ( 67 % ), Use military only as a last
resort ( 86 % ). 

 

This begs the question of course - WHY is it the corporate Democrats oppose
most of these issues ? To quote Ihlan Omar ; " Its all about the benjamins
baby ". This is why the DNC and other corporate Democrats will pull out all
of the stops to defeat a REAL progressive working class populist in the
Democratic primary and even sabotage the candidacy of such a candidate in
the general election. They would rather a Republican win than a populist
progressive because their prime directive is to keep the corporate donation
gravy train rolling to themselves and the DNC.
