White supremacy promoted as pseudo-science is a lie, and the racist politics that flow from it are poison in the bloodstream of our republic
In the 2020 election, the Republican Party chose not to even publish a party platform. They literally had no list of things they'd like to accomplish or do for the American people.
As Axios recently reported after attending a meeting between Mitch McConnell and wealthy donors: "Republicans should be 100% focused on Democrats and all the 'terrible' things they're doing to the country, McConnell said." We'll find out what Republicans support, we're told, only after they regain power.
In a bizarre parody of Seinfeld, the GOP appears to have become the Party of Nothing.
-
Nothing about getting the lead out of our water supply, or child-brain-damaging pesticides out of our food.
-
Nothing about strengthening Social Security or expanding Medicare to include glasses, hearing and teeth.
-
Nothing about helping young families make it through those first five demanding years in their children's lives with low-cost pre-K.
-
Nothing about fixing the student debt crisis that's crippled 45 million Americans ability to fully enter the economy.
-
Nothing about making healthcare and pharmaceuticals more available and affordable.
-
Nothing about cleaning up our environment and stopping global warming.
-
Nothing about turning our public schools back into the world's finest, as they were from Eisenhower's big post-Sputnik 1950s investments until Reagan took an axe to them in the 1980s.
-
Nothing about giving working people better pay, raising the minimum wage, and strengthening workplace protections.
-
Nothing about paid sick leave and family leave.
