So what's the solution from the left? Give us something original and don't just be regurgitating the crap that your feeble minded Oberführers have programed you to say(And I just watched a Fox segment talking about what Trump has done for the black community). This is going to be tough for you. There's not really a lot of new economic theory out there. It's all a mix of capitalism and communism on a sliding scale, From Trump to bernie/warren

Trump could win an electoral college victory with 5 million fewer votes making his presidency the longest illegitimate president ever.
Socialism sucks wherever it's been tried, and according to this: https://www.governmentvs.com/en/plut...ies/model-49-4
your "Plutocracy" is not present in this country, so I don't know where you're going with this. Are you saying we've elected rich people to high political office for almost 250 years and poor people are still poor, so it's time to elect a poor bastard to straighten it all out? Or is this a case of the lesser of two evils for you? Take it from me, that don't work either. I voted for McCain in '08

Easy. It's another made up socialist, 1st world "problem" that I don't concern myself with. Who is doing the most griping about this bullshit? Instant gratification millennials, "professional" service industry workers, and socialist politicians. What do you and they want to do about this "problem"?

Hello ThatOwlWoman,
The Class War is waged in so many ways it is hard to even state them all. Some are blatant, others are far more subtle and difficult to even recognize. That's by design. What better way to wage a war on the lower classes than to convince them they are not being oppressed? Convincing them instead that rich and greedy power junkies want to help them makes the oppression easy. If somebody doesn't even admit they are being attacked they most certainly won't fight back.

Another president knew that quite well. President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

A good question. The typical Trumpanzee/Reichwinger will always go for the Plutocracy because there's always the hope that if a RWer just works hard enough, he too can be as wealthy as they are... and we wouldn't want to tax all that hard work, would we?
Whereas socialism is evil because it puts everyone on a fairly equal basis where none of us have to worry about affording medical treatment, paying off student loans, how-can-I-afford-to-pay-the-firefighters-to-save-my-burning-house, public education, clean water/air/food/medications, libraries, roads, bridges, etc.
See -- if you are lucky enough to have a job that offers affordable health insurance premiums, you can look down on your neighbor whose job doesn't offer squat. *Your* kid gets x-rays, expert medical care, and a really cool neon cast when he falls off his bike and breaks his arm. That neighbor's kid? Two sticks and some vet wrap.
