All you need to know about the difference between the Democratic and Republican parties on tolerance, diversity, and inclusion -- all wrapped up in just a single story.


2016: Democratic Treasury Secretary (under Obama)- Jack Lew - decides to move Harriet Tubman, a hero who played a critical role in moving slaves to the north in the underground railroad, on to the $20 bill, replacing Andrew Jackson.

2018: Republican Treasury Secretary (under Trump)- Steven Mnuchin - still won't commit to putting Tubman on the $20.

-------------

The Democrats are the party of diversity, and inclusion. America has its problems with race, to say the least. But Democrats care about others and want to fix these problems. Ever since LBJ passed the Civil Rights Act and swept the racists out of the Democratic Party.

Republicans amplify racism and court racists for votes. They pander to white resentment. They use the conservative propaganda machine to make white people feel like minorities are oppressing them.

If we want to make progress on race relations in America, the top priority is to elect Democrats.

Organize, vote, register voters!

2. Ol Hickory vs. Harriet

In their time, Andrew Jackson played a key role in the extermination and relocation of an entire culture of indigenous people who lived here long before European colonization.
Harriet Tubman played a key role in enhancing and saving the lives of people who were forced to come here as human property.

No contest. However, this is the mantality we have to deal with.

3. In a few years, $20s will be old hat.

Should put her on one of the new $500 or $1000 inflation notes.

4. Only GOP fake economists believe in crazy inflation

The hyperinflation idea is another one pushed by GOP billionaires to divide America and also to argue for lower taxes for billionaires.

Heres Paul Krugman on why GOP “economists” like to push rumors about inflation.

6. Go check the BLS inflation calculator.

Set it to 1965 and be amazed.

Inflation is how they are going to screw you out of your Social Security benefits.

ALL empires destroy their currencies in the vain attempt to perpetuate themselves.

The USA will be no different.

5. Yup. Difference between the parties on race is huge.
