Not only is anyone writing about a solution not one Democratic politician running for office is saying they will tax the rich or seek and explain retribution.

Can't wait for tomorrow's installment. I love the concepts you've laid out. The dopes currently in Dem leadership won't go for any of it, unless We the People somehow scare them into it.

Great out of the box thinking … a shadow cabinet is certainly a possible method to challenge current policy makers . I’m not that familiar with the British Parliament system but do observe that they frequently can get rowdy and loud in their discussions and debates. If a shadow cabinet can provide a counter punch to the Noem , Hegseth , Miller etc . then let’s rumble . At this point of stagnation in our two party system - anything to offset the status quo would be better than what we are experiencing. I personally believe that dark money infiltration is not limited to corporate interests … PACs are declared influencers… with way too much power. But my bigger concern is foreign governments buying our candidates … AIPAC should be banned , but what about dark dark money ? Saudi money ? Oligarchs? Drug lords? Billionaires ? International pedophiles enterprises? Money deeply infiltrated and camouflaged into our system of power and influence that are pulling strings and power plays ? We need to control the extreme costs of running for office … fund raising is a full time endeavor. We need a limited 6 months of campaigning on a fixed budget…. Even the playing field so that ideas are more relevant than how much money you can raise . Looking forwards to your next episode.

As gov’t of, by and for the people. What a radical idea. /s

Leading by example is exactly what the Democrats need to do. They need to put ideas into action. A shadow cabinet sounds great. It would give the Dems a platform to show what they can do and get ideas out there. It would give people a chance to see who is capable beyond the few debates we see before elections. Brilliant Martin!

Outstandingly comprehensive coverage! You are the only author covering issues that never see the light of day, such as Venezuela strike and propping up the American dollar. Thank you for your service.

Coming back to try out a slogan: Republicans say they are America First, but Democrats are People First.

Your opening is anything but truth matters . Our financial system is by choice not genetics. Not all ADHD individuals have trouble focusing. Your opening paragraph is insensitive, inaccurate and does not parallel the topic.

To offend was not the intent, it was used as a metaphor which is not uncommon. I believe the context in this case is relevant. I think I’ll have to agree to disagree on this occasion.
