Fight Oligarchy by Bernie SandersMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I consider myself well versed in politics and keep abreast of the world events/news (from a variety of news sources). Nothing here is new to me, but this is a shorter book, so maybe someone will be curious and pick this up. I adore Bernie and loved that red, red Idaho got a shout-out in this book. Nampa, Idaho was a stop on his and AOC's "Fighting Oligarchy" tour and it was at full capacity (having to turn people away).
For the record, I consider myself to be a Democratic Socialist with an independent streak. I do think legislators need to be able to compromise and while we might not get everything that we want, we get something. The goal being to go back to the table again and get something(s) else (rinse and repeat).
No one knows how to work together anymore. And really, I don't like to admit this, but today's GOP is disastrous and are following the orange, demented asshole. To the detriment of the US, the World, and Democracy.
No Kings Saturday March 28th. Be there. There is something happening close to you. Show up and participate. Don't let this authoritarian regime silence you.
