Briahna is taking these ignorant people to school.
Unless you want to spend your entire life shoveling shit against US democracy, give it up. The fascists have won, after years of the draft dodger’s, John Wayne, version of American history, over the bodies of millions of Native Americans and imported slaves (not part of the Hollywood version). I fled the Christian land of the free for godless China in April 2003, and I’ve never looked back.
Wow! It’s so crazy that you say that because I have LITERALLY been saying the exact same thing, THE FASCISTS WON! It’s literally no point unless we plan on overthrowing them, we need to stop thinking we are going to get ahead by weaving our ways through this mythical American “democracy”, and everyone is so damn naive believing that they can work within this CORRUPT ass system and actually make enough of a socialist change that won’t get stepped on by the Supreme Court or Rich elites who control every arm of government. And what’s even more ironic is that I too am moving to China, THIS YEAR actually Hope to bump into you someday, because that’s where I’m going and I’m ALSO never going to look back. I’m over this fascist country and all of its bourgeois facets and elements. These miserable FUCKS can keep it honestly, this country looks like shit anyways and needs a complete and total upgrade!
Been watching Briahna for years now. She is a refreshing independent voice who always asks hard questions.
Brianna Joy Grey, You are a breath of fresh air! So sorry, I will not be able to see you any more, on “hear the Bern!” They were very enlightening! I am not an admiring male. I am an old Progressive woman. My husband and I are both 68.Thanks to Medicare, he is no longer crippled. We had small businesses; and could not afford to buy insurance in the later businesses, when we did not make as much money. We thought everyone should be able to be well, with Medicare For All. We voted for Jill Stein, after Bernie was sabotaged in 2016.Now that they have done it again, we will go Green again. We are completely finished with the Democratic Party! We should have known better! The Repugnants and the Damocrats are two sides of the same coin. We feel foolish for not learning this, the first time. Bernie was exactly what we needed, right now. There are too many gullible, brainwashed people in this country, who fell for the electability balony. At least Bernie was smart enough to pick you! Keep up your good work! The Progressives need your voice. Thank you for your great effort!
I have been screaming in my head about how I haven’t found many people who feel the same way about our “two-party” system! I’m more center of the aisle but find Brihana the most honest, and fair person to report on anything. She lets her opinion be known but she doesn’t let that dictate how she presents a story. I respect that in her and think she could be such an example of what traditional media is missing and doing wrong! I would love to see her blow all these mainstream hypocrites out of their comfy anchor chairs and rise to the top.
Brihna Joy Gray is a marked upgrade in Senator Sanders 2020 campaign. She represents Senator Sanders calmly with command of the metrics which support his front-runner status and reasons why Senator Sanders will be elected, if the Democratic establishment doesn’t sabotage him again.
Programs which create a social net work for the American working class or classes are not Socialist. Such programs redistribute wealth, which makes the global market system more efficient. Vast economy inequality is not good for anyone, capitalists or the working classes.
