The California Wealth Tax is a precursor to the 2028 primary. Newsom is fighting to keep a Dem Party that caters to billionaires, because he needs them to fund his campaign. Ro Khanna has backed the wealth tax because he wants a Dem Party that is free to tackle the oligarchy. That led the billionaires to fund a primary challenge against him (which he beat).

numbers from @CatoInstitute for Universal Healthcare costs ($39.9T-$75.4T) our CURRENT healthcare system is projected to cost $79.88T over this same period. Cato is projecting $0 in new spending. Instead they see savings between $40 & $4 Trillion with DSA Universal Healthcare.

I really hate it when politicians reject solution X and then say 'are there other solutions we should be looking at other than X?' If you are running, your job is to provide the solution! If you still need look for solutions, go look. Don't run for office.

To give this a good faith read that it doesn’t deserve, one point she seems to miss is that antiwar organizers are not merely a blob of moral energy that bursts at the sight of an illegal war. Antiwar activists are rational and strategic. Trump does not care about public opinion. He didn’t even try to make even a fake case for the war. The only pressure point Trump feels that regular people can control is legislative action and elections. A massive march on Washington would do what? Instead, the rational thing to do is elect stridently, unapologetically antiwar candidates up and down the ballot. That’s what antiwar activists have been doing. Neera, meanwhile, has spent the bulk of her time agitating against those candidates and siding with AIPAC, which supports the war and wants more of it.

Abdul is a better fundraiser (which I’ve been told for years by Democratic pundits is the biggest sign of electability). He’s running on extremely popular issues. So why, exactly, is he more unelectable than someone who can’t win a primary after $60 million of outside spending?

Michigan, vote for Abdul. Early voting has started. This is going to be one of the most important elections for determining who gets to controls our government: people, or corporations and foreign lobbies?

Mainstream media pundits constantly ask progressives if they swear allegiance to Israel, and then try to claim progressives are making everything about Israel. It's maddening. We just want to fund healthcare, housing and education and not fund genocides and endless wars.

China has spent about $1.5 billion a year on fusion, double the US DOE fusion budget. Instead, America spends about a billion a DAY bombing Iran. So they get infinite energy while we get high gas prices.
