If you think any of this wonkiness is going to deal with this dark psychic force of the collectivized hatred that this President is bringing up in this country then I'm afraid that the Democrats are going to see some very dark days. #BigTruth#DemDebatemarianne2020.com/issues/demo…
I assure you, I lived in Grosse Pointe. What happened in Flint would not would not have happened in Grosse Pointe. This is part of the dark underbelly of American society. The racism, the bigotry, and the entire conversation that we're having here tonight. #DemDebate#BigTruth
My response on the Flint water crisis is that Flint is just the tip of the iceberg. I was recently in Denmark, South Carolina where there's a lot of talk about it being the next Flint. #BigTruth#DemDebate#FlintWaterCrisis
We have an administration that has gutted the Clean Water Act. We have communities, particularly communities of color and disadvantaged communities, all over this country who are suffering from environmental injustice. #DemDebate#BigTruth

It is time for us to start over with people who have not taken donations from any of these corporations and can say with real moral authority, “That is over. We are going to establish public funding for federal campaigns." #BigTruth#DemDebate#Marianne2020
The issue of gun safety, of course, is that the NRA has us in a chokehold. But so do the pharmaceutical companies, so do the health insurance companies, so do the fossil fuel companies and so do the defense contractors.
And none of this will change until we either pass a constitutional amendment or pass legislation that establishes public funding for federal campaigns.

Everything that we’re talking about here tonight is what's wrong with American politics. And the Democratic Party needs to understand that we should be the party that talks not just about symptoms but also about causes.

In 1776, our founders brought forth on this planet an extraordinary new possibility. It was the idea that people, no matter who they were, would simply have the possibility of thriving.
And when forces have opposed them, generations of Americans have risen up and pushed back against those forces. We did that with abolition, and with women’s suffrage, and with civil rights. And now it is time for a generation of Americans to rise up again

The United States spends 10 times more on fossil fuel subsidies than it does on education. Such greed and corruption that will only end when we the people rise up to end it. forbes.com/sites/jamesellsmo…
.@marwilliamson tells @Alyssa_Milano that Trump won't be defeated by an insider political conversation. "The only way we can defeat that phenomenon is by creating another phenomenon." Listen here: apple.co/2On9cRx
One more mass shooting: more dead, more suffering. We need universal background checks. Outlaw bump stocks, close loopholes, ban AR 15s and bullets needed to shoot them. All of us must show up now. ONLY support politicians willing to stand up to the NRA. marianne2020.com/issues/gun-…
The undue influence of corporate money on our political system is the issue underlying almost all other issues. I’ve signed the American Promise pledge to support a Constitutional Amendment to override Citizens United. americanpromise.net
The “New Age nutcase” narrative is a purposefully created red herring, meant to throw people offtrack politically who’d like to think of themselves as not capable of being so easily thrown off track.
