I’m not trying to “read my base;” I’m stating what I believe to be true. Otherwise I have neither heart nor spine. Hatred for anyone is bad for everyone, and we should all be able to agree on that.

Racism should not go unchallenged and neither should anti-Semitism go unchallenged. There is a line past which otherwise legitimate criticism of Israeli policies becomes anti-Semitic bile, and the Congresswoman crossed it. I hope she will retract and restate.

The United States is run like a business - but the worst kind. It should be run like a family – the best kind. Children first. Safety and well-being first. Love first.

Our current economic system doesn’t provide for economic success 10 yrs from now; it leeches from the future by sucking out today’s profits, & for only a few people. To achieve economic abundance 10 years from now, we should be doing a lot more for those who are 10 yrs old today.

I haven’t heard anyone ask Howard Schulz why he doesn’t start with “an entry-level position.” People associate our government with big businessmen and assume they have the skill set to know how to run it. But govt should not be run like a business; it should be run like a family.

Reparations for slavery is as good for white people as for black people. It’s better for America, because we have to clean up our past before we can have a breakthrough future. We simply owe a debt, that we should acknowledge and pay so that then we can move on.

There are a lot more lovers than haters, in this country & in the world. The problem is that those who hate, hate with conviction... and harness their hate for political purposes. It’s time for those who love, to love with conviction...and harness our love for political purposes.

Is the largest wealth inequality since 1929, climate change that threatens our very existence, and millions of children living in chronic trauma your idea of a successful flight?

Memo: Donald Trump is president (anyone claiming to know who or who does not have a shot must be forgetting that). And believe me, I could sell a lot more books if only I would never mention politics!:)

I will be 100% supportive of the Democratic nominee. But there’s no “outside politics.” Every American is inside politics if politics is about all of us. A political establishment claiming that lane for themselves, turning average citizens into spectators, is exactly the problem.

It’s healthy for our democracy, and for the Democratic Party, that so many people are running for the nomination. It doesn’t “distract” from one candidate for another to run, unless we take the paternalistic attitude that democracy itself cannot be trusted. Let the voters decide.

I have not been silent on the matter, and I share your deep concern that government authority has been used to demonize and criminalize immigration. It is an assault on a basic American value and I abhor it.
