Jim Hightower -People are asking: Why the hell is the party’s top leadership AWOL? The good news is grassroots people themselves—the little-d democrats—have taken to the streets, leading the charge to STOP this plutocratic, autocratic power grab. So, “leaders” ought to at least follow! All Democratic national officials (including former presidents Clinton, Obama, and Biden) should literally come out and stand together, demonstrating solidarity with the majority of Americans fighting this far-right, un-American assault by rampaging billionaires.
Most encouraging is the fact that workaday people—in red states as well as blue—are erupting in spontaneous protests and unity actions. Ironically, Don & Elon’s self-serving plutocratic thuggery is rallying workers, veterans, schoolchildren, seniors, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, main street businesses… and, well, Americans—against them! The GOP assault on all of us reveals that we commoners really are in this together, and it will take all of us to defend the Common Good for one and all.
