(9,072 posts)There are some policies and politicians who could help, but with a GOP Congress it's a big fight no matter who wins a national election.
The key to winning back America is to win the vote. Right now, millions are unable to register, others can't get to the polls, and many live here for a lifetime undocumented. Districts are gerrymandered. NO 1 is that Democrats need to get to vote and count the vote. That would create Democratic state legislatures, governors, majorities, and defeat ALEC.
Only with majority legislatures and Congress can we win regulations, minimum wages, and tax the richest. Unfortunately, it must start with voting reforms.
The next key is to organize labor, win transparent salary information, fight for your coworkers whenever you can. United we stand! Everyone can do that no matter who you are or what job you have.
Bernie has been telling the same story for decades, and economic inequality is a problem for capitalism that needs improvement, but don't be fooled though - Bernie's message is not going to happen because of a speech and an excited crowd.
