Asking Me To "Stand With The Dems"

You keep asking for more money, and for me to “stand with the Dems.” I’ll stand with the Dems when they actually take a stand for us all. I’ll stand with the Dems when they break a few rules, peacefully yes, creatively for sure, forcefully, of course, as when dealing with any bully. I’ll stand with the Dems when they clean up their own act, rejecting our billionaire-backed political system, a.k.a. the coin-operated, oligarch plan. I’ll stand with the Dems when they stand for something real. I’ll stand with the Dems when they stop focusing on how bad “they” are and start focusing on how good “we all” could be. Which reminds me, where’s the Dem Party’s version of a Project 2025 Plan? Repeat after me, “ecological sanity, healthcare for all, bribery out of politics, ERA finally done, democracy at work, fair taxes, zero tolerance for monopolies and oligarchs, fair pay for fair work, robust peace process, applied equality.” Also, remember that political election outcome you were so afraid of? Me too! Well, it’s happened, now what? Why not say and do things that are pro-human, and pro-earth? Why not say and do things that aren’t hedge-fund approved, or billionaire-purchased, nor focus-group-backed, or sanctioned by political consultants, and please, no more tiny, “moving the Titanic deck chairs” incremental steps that keep serving up all that milquetoast, “business as usual” disappointment. Listen Dems, you feel me? I’ll stand up tall with you, even give a little money, if you’ll just keep it real. I mean really real.
