Of course they won't, years of docile programming via reality TV shows, and ma sports!

Don't forget, they also charge for every little thing. Fly United, and don't forget all our add-ons.

As the OP posted, Christy Walton, ie Walmart family, is funding this NO KINGS charade, points to the bottom of the adds showing she is paying for this. He also points out she is worth nearly 20 billion dollars. Do you think Christy is involved in authoritarianism causes or human right abuses? NO! He points out in articles that Walmart is the biggest corporate welfare queen (no shock,) and that they (Christy) are doing this to preserve cheap labor so they don't have to pay. He compares China's lowest 50% to ours. China's lowest 50% holds twice as much wealth as our lowest 50%. He points out China, where we get all our cheap goods, is able to pay their workers, and the US somehow.....cant. It is all about corporations, and in this case, Walmart specifically, not wanting to pay a living wage and preserving this.

Edit to add, he also points out the irony of a NO KINGS protest against a KING, funded by an OLIGARCH.

Good, well done, but they used him as an scapegoat for all the others in that industry. Now its back to predatory practices as usual in Hollywood.

scapegoat

X11 drama.

Walmart, the biggest corporate welfare queen.

This is a good take on Christy and Walmart and the real reason they are funding the No King events.

All the real progressives have moved out of the dem party, most are now independent (which is the largest party now) and/or has stopped voting all together. You have lost the "win back the progressives" ...try something different and stop electing neo-liberal/neo-cons who vote against your interests, ie stop ruining the country.

Yes, Democrats suck, so you should not vote for them. You have been trying to "replace" them for decades. How is that working out for you? Your continuous "save the dems" voting has created this mess. There is no coming over to the progressive side, because the progressive side doesn't exist in that party. The clear answer is we need a new workers party, one with a strong leader. I will continue to work towards that, but will never vote for another neo-lib/neo-con uni-party again.

Can we roll the tape of all the democrats who yelled voter rigging when Hillary lost, not to mention Hillary herself? That is a neo-lib/neo-con mechanism both sides play when it suits them.

Great work!?!? Atta boy!?!? Keep putting the neo-libs/neo-cons in power because orange man bad! Your vote for Clinton gave us NAFTA, a free trade agreement that created the economic mess, shipping jobs overseas and destroying our industry here in the US, a nightmare that we are living through today. How many lives destroyed, tent cities has your vote created?

By any measure, NAFTA and its sequels has been a major contributor to the rising inequality of incomes and wealth that Barack Obama bemoans in his speeches.

Speaking of Barack, your vote allowed him to immediately pivot to bailing out banks allowing them to give their CEO's bonuses during one of the largest housing crisis, they created btw, displacing homeowners across the country. He also didn't really put any regulations in place to prevent this happening again, which many analyst predict will be soon. Those banks, btw, also funded a lot of his campaign. How many lives destroyed there with your vote?

Politics is about achieving the best possible outcome, and not making personal decisions to compromise your morals.

Low effort, give-in and and vote for the lessor evil. Congrats YOU won!

What we need is a real worker's party, but the system is so corrupt, bought and paid for by big everything, corps/banks/pharma/Israel, it would take a miracle. The only way I see it happening and gaining strength is when the uni-party system goes too far. They both want a fascist state because they both are for big business who want us all as slaves. Break the oligarchs and restrict their companies and maybe we will have a chance, else buckle up.

Neo-libs going to neo-lib.

Nope, stopped voting for them after Obama, which in retrospect, he and Clinton were big mistakes. Voted Green party. I can walk away knowing I did not vote for a pro-genocide, anti-worker party.

Spread the word!

Ta da! Weed is legal here.

It is the first thing the poor utilize when desperate, gaming that has all odds against them. Yeah, there should be stricter laws and regulations. Right now, I would consider it a predatory industry.

How about all of them in one?
