Instead, these tax cuts have added $10 trillion to the debt."

Please, don’t rely on polls 8 months before the election as if they will tell the outcome. It’s a waste of emotional energy. Focus on what you can do to increase turnout.

Local SF Bay Area poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti was a real one. He flat-out nails it in this poem. Poetry can be powerful.

Rob Pare @FictionalRob“PITY THE NATION”06:03 AM - Mar 01, 2024![“PITY THE NATION”
Lawrence Ferlinghetti (After Khalil Gibran) 2007
Pity the nation whose people are sheep
And whose shepherds mislead them
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
Whose sages are silenced
And whose bigots haunt the airwaves
Pity the nation that raises not its voice
Except to praise conquerors
And acclaim the bully as hero
And aims to rule the world
By force and by torture
Pity the nation that knows
No other language but its own
And no other culture but its own
Pity the nation whose breath is money
And sleeps the sleep of the too well fed
Pity the nation oh pity the people
who allow their rights to erode
and their freedoms to be washed away
My country, tears of thee
Sweet land of liberty!
