The Politics of a Second Gilded Age By Matt Karp
5 years ago
General
"The mass inequality of America’s first Gilded Age thrived on identity-based partisanship, helping extinguish the fires of class rage. In 2021, we’re headed down the same path."

Excellent article on the macro-picture of our political situation. We MUST get back to class politics as the rich have been waging class warfare - and winning - against workers for the past several decades. It's why Clinton, Biden, Obama, etc were so desperate to defeat Bernie Sanders as Bernie represents the working class fighting back. He was more dangerous to them than any Republican candidate because the Republicans and establishment Democrats alike are both on the side of the wealthy.
