Best of the Left

We're on vacation, but our 19 years of archives are often extremely relevant today. (Weird, right?) So, here's a THROWBACK because at #BestoftheLeft, we remember the past *and* choose to repeat it.

THROWBACK! #BestoftheLeft #1493: "Marketing, Messaging and Mass Shootings" (Original Air Date: 6-4-22)

Some good news! 🗞️ #newmexico passed a free #childcare policy last year that lifted 120,000 people above the #poverty line.

This was a complete turnaround from being last place in child #wellbeing and all thanks to #progressive legislation and leadership! New Mexico is leading the way to what could be!

@RonSupportsYou Yeah, the top cop of #LosAngeles who defeated a real #Progressive DIstrict Attorney, Terence Hallinan, who literally brought crime down in a progressive way.

I made this thread highlighting #KamalaHarris' record throughout her years in Politics and how is she any fucking different when she literally ignored courts & advocated more Right-wing shit while giving optics to be more "progressive"?

Yes. I get that as we age we have a tendency to be more #conservative, more cautious about changes, less likely to want to rock the boat. But all of those sentiments are a far cry from supporting any Party which denies changes are happening and which are veering further and further to the right, into #fascism #racism, #elitism, #greed and #hate.

And surely, us older folks were more into #unionism than any cohort since (the historical numbers alone show us this) and hence too ‘#progressive’ to support the #LNP let alone the crackpot Parties. What happened? Endemic senility? A geriatric demise of mental faculties? Forgotten how to think things through? Have we, as a cohort, forgotten what it was like in our youth?

What has happened to the generation of ‘flower power’, the Age of #Aquarius dreamers, the #Moratorium crowd, the #Whitlam supporters (and to a lesser extent the #Hawke generation)? Where have they all gone? Why have we, boomers, seemingly become fossilised curmudgeons? What has changed us so dramatically?

I do not consider myself an outlier, an exception, or anything other than a #boomer. My years and financial situation mark me out as one of them. But damn it, boomers suck and need to wake up to themselves. I thoroughly repudiate what my generation has become based on what I see, hear and read.

Bodies may become frail in the winter of our years,but that is no reason to fear what tomorrow might (or might not) bring. For those of us who still have a mind there is nothing stopping us from figuring out that whatever the future is, it is surely in the hands of younger generations and we should do our utmost to help them with it, not stymie their efforts, crush their dreams, impose our misguided wills on them. To do so has no purpose other than bull headedness based on misguided and illogical thinking (pse let it not be envy). What kind of parents, grandparents or great grandparents has my generation become? Didn’t we all use to love our kids?

The #DemocraticParty must move to the left and become a #progressive political force.

The messaging of the left must radically improve so everyone can easily understand why our politics and policies must radically, fundamentally change so we can ALL benefit, directly, immediately, and permanently.

That must include—but not necessarily center—#gender and other issues that don't directly affect most people.

#Healthcare, #housing, #economy are universal.
