Mom’s Kids Are Furious With Clueless Dems

<p>Millions of people took to the streets to oppose Trump and his fascism during the No Kings protests, and then they came out and voted for Democrats in massive numbers during the last election - in large part because they supported the fact that the Democrats were standing up to the Trump regime during the government shutdown and demanding that the ACA subsidies be extended... and then before we knew it - eight Democrats joined the Republicans and caved. It's this kind of thing that turns people off from politics altogether. For many it felt like a betrayal. Obviously the Republicans are worse - but many millennials are demanding that Democrats fight the GOP with the urgency that this moment requires.For many young people - life is simply unaffordable - housing, health care, child care, education have created an affordability crisis and millennials are facing the fact that their prospects are not as good as their parents. To add insult to injury - the oligarchy continues to get richer and we are now facing a two tiered economy - one for the rich - and one for everyone else. And technologies like AI threaten to make everything worse. The super wealthy are making the American Dream out of reach... and instead of addressing this - Trump and his authoritarian regime are instead blaming marginalized people and spending billions through ICE to terrorize our neighbors. This is a crisis! But Chuck Schumer and others in the Democratic establishment seem to be unequipped for the moment - they seem to be out of touch cowards who are completely clueless about what Americans are going through and what this moment requires. And so, for the first time ever, all of mom's kids join the podcast the express their frustration and fury with a party that is not treating this moment with the urgency it demands.Make sure to check us out on Patreon: (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqazIyYVJwamdCV1lnVFN1X3cwTExrRlNNcHVoQXxBQ3Jtc0ttWi13MHhUSFlRZjlhVXJBQzByS0UwM2FKVkFQMElVWEI0YjZWQW5ibnZpNkJsQ0FHWHBnZjh0WGpBbmhENHdSMkFMeVdLOGQ2ME4wbHduVmVTSUxsbEhaMnlTckFHNFRtQk12V1RXX18yRzJ0V0hfOA&amp;q=http%3A%2F%2Fpatreon.com%2Ftalkingpoliticswithmom&amp;v=YOpDO_0dgLk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">  / talkingpoliticswithmom  </a>)</p><p>And check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@manboynice">‪youtube.com/manboynice‬</a> for politics and history through the lens of culture, art, and the horror genre.</p>
