Regarding certain presidents —people who have money always forget that people who don’t have enough are hoping to vote for someone who will make things better, for them, at whatever costs.

once upon a time, I worked at a school where no one liked the acting principal but let me tell you—it was the year of no complaints: he knew how to handle a budget. We all had what we needed and then some! No red tape. Get things done. People get hired and fired overnight. Things got done.

People always vote with their pockets. Both wealthy and the struggling.

Russian revolution’s tipping point was a piece of bread. Of course lots of other “important” stuff but essentially the ladies who made bread but could not afford it didn’t show up to the factory. They were starving to death anyway. I am recalling this from a lecture back in uni right after 9-11 and the uptick in patriotism by people putting tiny American flags on their cars etc.

The neoliberal policies are counting on social media’s useful idiots.

Majority of the world is NOT on Twatter and at best is watching insta and tik tok jokes for entertainment and memes.

A smart person knows that.

If votes count that is.
