To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Those who are willing to give up social justice for economic justice will end up with neither.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Too true. Alas...n/t

[LWolf]

2. Of course,

Trump didn't offer economic justice, either, so Trump voters gave up BOTH.

Neither candidate offered economic justice, and that's not a new phenomenon.

It's kind of fun to paraphrase Franklin. Here's one I find apt:

A voter between two corporate Parties is like a fish between two cats.

3. He also said he had given us a republic if we could keep it.

[LWolf]

8. Yes.

I'm not sure if we've been doing a great job of keeping it during my lifetime, or if we ever did, or, even, if it was ever worth "keeping," at least, in its original form.

We've accomplished some good things, but the worst runs throughout our history like a vein of rot, constantly re-erupting.

4. Not true, Hillary Clinton did offer economic justice.

Especially to those making under 72K a year, who supported her.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. My poor thread was about Trump telling people he can bring back jobs that are gone for good.

[boston bean]

6. Not my fault it got hijacked by hillary hate

And that I needed point out the utter nonsense of it.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. It would make more sense to retrain those folks.
