Bannon's blather.

Steve Bannon visited Elma yesterday to try and drum up support for the trump administration and agenda.   His goal was to get voters to vote for politicians that would support trump and his misguided & mistaken agenda.
Do trade wars that raise prices on the working class work for you?
Does giving tax breaks to multi- millionaires and billionaires that close US factories and send jobs overseas benefit you?
Does cutting Medicare, Medicaid, Social Secuirty, and other social programs benefit you?
Does increasing the military budget to buy weapons systems that don' t work and support wars that we don't need to be involved in work for you?
Does supporting racist policing policies work for you?
Does spouting off hate speech about LGBTQI people work for you?
Does attacking migrants work for you?  Especially when the policies of the US government is what creates the migrants innthe firtst place?
I can go on about the failures of the trump agenda.  It's all to easy.
And as much as I dislike the Republican party & it's agenda,  it really isn't much different than the Democratic party and it's agenda.
Remember that great promise of health care reform? The Affordable Care Act? Reminds me of Mitt Romney's Massachusetts health care plan  force people to buy private health insurance.  Solved nothing.
A real solution was single payer or Medicare for all.
The Yemen war was started by Obama and Trump is continuing it.  Will the Democrats reign in the disastrous capitalist foreign policy that we follow?
Doubt it.
I know there is so much more to add to this criticism.
Switching from republicans to democrats won't change much, if anything because the capitalists controls the halls of power.
We need a socialist revolution or actual socialists running for government to make the changes that we need in order to change the path that this country is on.
Fred Linck is running, or trying to, in Connecticut and the guardians of the gateway are doing every3they can to keep him off the ballot.
Other socialists are running but on the Democratic line & are selling out to the Democrats and the DNC in order to get on the line.
Unacceptable.
We need to change the way the elections work so that we have real democracy in this country.
