Well…as expected, the repubs and the right win chattering class of pundits are freaking out that Abdul El-Sayed won the primary for senator from here in Michigan and the Marxism, communist bullshit is flying from them since they have nothing else…okay, I’m stealing a lot of this from Thom Hartmann over at Kos but he clarifies what this fall’s election is really about so well that I can’t do anything better than to paraphrase…so, here we go…this election is not about voting for Karl Marx or communism or anything the right is bleating about…it’s about getting back to where money is not hoarded by the billionaire class who have been stealing this country since reagan started the tax cutting nonsense that has been shown to only concentrate wealth and not create jobs or benefit anyone but the rich…we just want fairness and what every other industrial country has…they want no fear that if one person in a family gets sick, the family is decimated…evidenced by the fact that there were almost a million medical related bankruptcies here when there are none in any other country…how about an education system that is fully funded from kindergarten to college and that doesn’t put people into debt (to the tune of 2 trillion dollars) and everyone who can do the work is encouraged to engage in building the skills we need in this country…every other country does that…not here…they want a system where voting is easy and can’t be hijacked by billionaires and corporations buying elections…and finally they just want jobs that will pay enough for people to afford to buy a home and raise a family on one income…just like it used to back before reagan…so, you get the point..we are not looking for communism or marxism…we are looking for a country and government that helps people when they need it and is the referee that enforces fairness and makes the people worth just as much as corporations and billionaires…is that too much to ask? geez…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
