A few aristocrats feasting at a banquet table dropping crumbs on the floor for the common people to eat is not good economic policy. It’s a reversion to the same aristocratic paradigm we rejected in 1776 - and we need to reject it again. marianne2020.com/issues/the-…

When 40% of all Americans are having a hard time making daily costs and we passed a $2 trillion tax cut with $.83 of every dollar going to the richest people & corporations - all of which will contribute to a $22T debt - no we do not have a great economy.

Anyone who thinks we just need someone tough enough to beat Trump is naïve about the nature of this opponent.

Americans have been mentally trained to expect too little, no longer being led to do great things & not even bothering to ask for them. We should ask for & expect: that a dirty energy economy become a green economy & a war economy become a peace economy. Only then will we be free

I’ve never gone down in my life that when I came back up, I haven’t been higher than I was before I went down. And that will be true for America too. We will get through this difficult period, and we will be a better country for having gone through it.

Given there are millions of traumatized children living here in conditions as desperate as in any developing country, it’s fair to say we need a new and better consolidation of power on their behalf. We need more resources, attention and focus on all the factors you mention.

The money is to be used for “projects of economic and educational renewal.” Beyond that stipulation, white America should not have a say in how the money is disbursed. If you owe people money, you don’t get to tell them how to spend it.

Nevada is the first state to have a female-majority state legislature, so it’s not surprising they just passed a law protecting a woman’s right to reproductive freedom. Hopefully others will follow suit, not only in protecting women but in electing women! mynews4.com/news/local/nevad…

America hides beneath its psychic underbelly millions of traumatized children. Yet the response of the political establishment is to simply normalize their despair. As president, I will establish a cabinet level US Department of Children and Youth. marianne2020.com/issues/chil…

Native American tribes lived on this continent for centuries before European settlers came here. America’s soul won’t be free until we make right our relationship with a people toward whom we committed genocide & cultural annihilation. Read my policy here: marianne2020.com/issues/nati…

The same psychological principles that prevail in the life of an individual prevail within the journey of a nation: You can’t have an abundant future unless you’re willing to clean up the past. That’s why we should pay reparations for slavery. marianne2020.com/issues/raci…

State-sponsored violence against LGBT communities is prevalent in nations around the world. When I’m president, the US will reclaim its moral leadership and become vocal about this on the international stage. Anti-LGBTQ discrimination is an unacceptable human rights abuse.
