share many of those views. See the Chained CPI eg, no Democrat should should even utter those words unless it is to bury it into the ground.

Yet, we have dems now trying to 'explain' why it doesn't mean 'cuts'.

They think that when their Think Tanks come up with weird titles for policies, that sound like they mean something important, we the plebs will just go along like zombies because it's Dems who are talking.

I remember in Capitalism a Love Story when MM stopped a Wall St exec to ask him a few questions. Seemed like a nice, he began to explain in Wall St speak and MM's eyes began to glaze over, lol, he's good at performance art like that.

Then he said, 'let me ask you, do they pay you to come up with language that none of us understand so we won't know what it means?' The guy admitted it.

They're always working on how to deceive and screw the people. Which is why they hate it when, mostly the Left, refuses to accept their expensive trickery which they thought was so 'smart'. I think they take it personally when we expose their talking points and phony, important sounding lingo.

And the Ma$$ Media pretends that corporate Democrats, a/k/a DINOs are the ONLY Democrats, at least 90% of the time.

"They're always working on how to deceive and screw the people." So true, so true.

anymore, it operates from a script, 'safe for Corporations guests' and same thing when discussing FP, they follow the same script, no one who might rock the boat, allowed.

No wonder they are losing ratings. That kind of script is beyond boring, besides everything else about it.

Would let someone like Sanders or Warren win?

I don't. They wouldn't be able to get Liberty Medals from the Bushes then.

Low wages are not in any working person's interest. Why would any democrat support trade policies that have proven they lower wages?
