Transcript

just look at what Republicans have been
quietly doing in Congress they have been
voting just this week to advance cuts on
hundreds of billions of dollars from
Medicaid and veterans benefits and
Social Security so that they can take
that money and give it to the
billionaires who elected them in the
form of tax cuts and sweetheart
government contracts to companies like
SpaceX
and you know who voted for that from
California by the way david Valado of
California's 22nd Young Kim of
California's 40th and Ken Calbertt of
California's
41st they know that that's not what you
want they know that it is deeply
unpopular they know that it hurts you
but they are not here to serve us they
are here to serve themselves and the
billionaires who have paid them
oligarchy and they know that the only
chance they have to get away with such
an unpopular agenda to get away with
stealing in plain view is to stoke deep
divisions among us along lines of race
identity and culture to keep us fighting
and distracted
this has been the big money playbook not
just now but for
decades and that is why Donald Trump is
not an aberration he is the logical
inevitable conclusion of an American
political system dominated by corporate
and dark money
and if we are here to defeat him we must
defeat the system that created him money
in politics is the hand of oligarchy los
