OK, let’s just say she’s a hero. I’ll say it for you. Lena Khan is a hero everyone!
With that out of the way, look at the last, say, five decades. Look at income disparity over that time period. Look at wages. Look at the health of labor unions. Look at how much more money political campaigns cost now. This has all been happening under Republican and Democratic administrations. Both parties have been moving to the economic right.
You can find heroes like Khan throughout this time period. Point them out if you like. Just don’t ignore the fact that these trends continued despite their best efforts.
I just think you need to recognize that sometimes civic engagement requires more than just a vote
I do realize that, which is why I have been working with Jewish Voice for Peace since the war started, trying to pressure U.S. politicians.
