Protecting Democracy Is Not Emough - 5 Things Americans Must Fight For [View all]
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/may/09/americans-democracy-healthcare-union-taxes-trump?CMP=share_btn_url] But protecting democracy is not enough. It is a rearguard action, one that fights against incursions that would transform the United States into an oligarchic state serving special interests. It does not address the needs of the larger public. Fighting for procedures and not substance is insufficient.
Details in the Guardian piece but summarized:
Increase minimum wage
Medicare for all
Right to join union
Increase tax on wealthy
Overturn Citizens United.
Couldn’t agree more!!!
