These are the 3 choices before the American people: to vote for someone who IS the oligarchy; vote for someone who ACCOMODATES to the conditions of oligarchy; or vote for someone who challenges & inspires an END to the oligarchy. Which we choose will determine America’s future.

What we call “the issues” aren’t the deeper issue. They are symptoms of a deeper cause: that the U.S. has wandered off course from a functional democracy to a dysfunctional oligarchy. Only the American people awakening to this fact will create a strong enough force to change it.

Searing insights here. I have never heard Beau of the Fifth Column before, but I’m sure going to be listening to him now...
Let's talk about @marwilliamson, @SpeakerPelosi, @AOC and what they can teach us about the future....

The climate crisis is the greatest moral challenge of our generation, and we ourselves must rise up to meet it. "The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it." - Sir Robert Swan. Here are my climate change policies: marianne2020.com/issues/clim…

No he wasn’t; there is a big difference between a peacemaker and an appeaser. Nothing I have ever said is to suggest that we appease evil. As a matter of fact, my entire candidacy is based on the idea that we should not.

You can read into it what you want to read into it but my words say what my words say. This isn’t about my other opponents - it’s about the nature of the game. Not sure why you have a problem with my mentioning something that clearly you’re aware enough to recognize is true.

I didn’t say anything at all about my opponents, tho I said that only one other specifically mentions US military policy as an issue we should be discussing. And that that shouldn’t get one labeled something like the “hug it out” candidate. That such diminishment is undeserved.

I’m not a pacifist. Not suggesting US doesn’t have to have strong military presence in the world. But that’s different than basing national security agenda more on profits for defense contractors than on genuine peace building. We must wage peace as well as be prepared for war.

For the sake of a $350B arms sale to Saudi Arabia, we’re giving aerial support to a genocidal war that has starved tens of thousands of Yemenis including children. Trump vetoed a bipartisan bill trying to stop it.

That’s actually not what I think it all. But corruption and perfidy do exist, and to argue that they’re not muddying the waters is strange. Are you suggesting the international world order is doing fine the way it is?

He did mention the war in Yemen during the first debate and I appreciate that. I’m talking about countering America’s outsized militarism as a pillar of one’s campaign.

The political establishment is waiting to see if we can turn the conviction of conscience into a political force. Their attitude is “Let’s see if they can do it.” Ours should be “Let’s show them that we can!!” nytimes.com/2019/07/09/opini…
