"The Majority Of Population Is Left Out In The Cold"

If you are frustrated with the predominant political news and can stand to hear criticism of both sides check out Krystal and Saagar. The videos here are mainly going after Dems, but I promise they call out both.

First video is about the failure of major media and the two big political parties to actually represent the so-called silent majority.

Rejection Of Identity Politics



Cliffs of Video:

- In 3 swing states voter registration by whites without college degrees is up by 46% while registration by people of color is only up 4%.

- Adding Kamala Harris to the Biden ticket did not improve results for the ticket by a single percentage.

- Only 1 in 4 Hispanics views themselves as people of color. The majority of Hispanics prefer to see Hispanics as a group integrating into the American mainstream, one not overly bound by racial constraints, but instead able to get ahead through hard work.

- Voters of all races were most persuaded by a Democratic platform based on classism that linked race and class together; or IOW concerns about economic inequality.

- 3/5ths (including the majority of Hispanics) agree "illegal immigration from places overrun with drugs and criminal gangs is bad. The same percentage wants fully funded police.

- Identity politics is rooted in upper middle class white liberals.

- The Democrats offer nothing on policy, they just want to basically symbolically pander on identity, and that is why it has completely fallen flat.

- The vast majority of Americans just want to be Americans and do not want what these people are selling.


Time to put the clowns back in the box.

Krystal Ripping on Democrats for their failure to represent working class interests once they are in power:



It's about the $$$. Clown world is a distraction.
Washington Post columnist Greg Sargent published what he called "stunning" findings from UC Berkeley economist Gabriel Zucman, showing how bothan explosion in annual earnings by the rich and an increasingly regressive tax structure have combined to allow the top 1% of Americans' wealth to triple over the past five decades.

The top 1% of earners make an average of more than $1 million per year after accounting for taxes they pay, a 50-year increase of more than $800,000—100 times the growth rate of the bottom 50%.

The wealth of the top .1% is five times larger than it was in 1970, while that of the top .01% is seven times larger, at over $24 million in 2018.

"You have two trends reinforcing each other," Zucman told the Post. "There has been the rise in market income inequality—the rise in pretax income inequality. At the same time, the tax system has become much less progressive at the top of the income distribution."

"People have this idea that government redistribution has upset some of the rise in inequality, but essentially that's not the case," the economist added.

Zucman's findings were revealed two months after New York Times columnist David Leonhardt published a graphic showing howin 2018, for the first time in U.S. history, the 400 richest Americans paid less in taxes than any other income group.

The richest Americans have benefited from numerous changes to tax laws and enforcement in recent decades, Sargent wrote, "including domestic and international tax avoidance, the whittling away of the estate and corporate taxes, and the repeated downsizing of top marginal rates."
