Of course not! But “it takes heart, mind, soul, & more than a pound of flesh” to run a farm too, or to write a great novel, or to do a lot of things. Big businesspeople don’t deserve more gov’t help than do any other hardworking people. They add no more & should receive no more.

The greed of multinat’l corporate entities have been justified on the basis that people who run such companies are wiser, smarter, & have the best interest of the country at heart. Once enough of us know to appropriately guffaw at such an outrageous idea, change will come quickly

If you look at the issues section of my website at Marianne2020.com you will see that I have no dearth of specific policy positions.

Hardly. I have spoken about this repeatedly. There was no immigration crisis at the border except for that which was created by the president and his administration for political purposes. The wall is part of that. marianne2020.com/issues/immi…

Standing for economic fairness in America doesn’t mean you’re anti-rich, anti-wealth creation, or anti-capitalist. It simply means you’ve awakened to the 40 year old propaganda that’s been used to justify a massive theft from the public treasury on the part of just a few people.

We could call this karma, but then we might be called naive. So how about this: any sane person would realize that if you do something completely immoral (selling arms to the Saudis while they're killing people in Yemin) then it will probably come back at you in unintended ways?
The US shipped weapons and secrets to the Saudis and Emiratis. Now, some are in the hands of fighters linked to al Qaeda and Iran cnn.it/2D9jBYj

A 21st Century mindset is as different from the 20th as the 20th was from the 19th. It's less about mechanics and more about consciousness, and -- if we're to survive it - less about power and more about love. A 20th C. mindset got us into the ditch; it will not get us out of it.

To those who think no one is "qualified" to be president unless they're a politician: if you think a couple of terms as a Congressman makes you qualified, then you don't know what a Congressman does. A 21st Century president needs to be more of a visionary than a manager. #newday

Until we address America's underlying rot -- systemic economic injustice, neglect of millions of children, racial debt to be paid, our habit of brute force -- we will not fundamentally change. It's not sophisticated, but rather naive, to think external remedies alone can fix us.

I’ve been talking about it and writing about it for over 20 years, decades before I ever ran for office.

If we want to elevate America, we need to do a lot more than “elevate the conversation.” Women have been subconsciously trained in our society to cap any expectation of actual power, for ourselves or for other women - unless the status quo approves, of course. #timetochangethat
