The fact that countries see us not only domestically but internationally, with policies that simply support our corporate overlords. The fact that our national defense agenda is driven more by short term profits for defense contractors than by genuine peacebuilding. #DemDebate

Even on the subject of foreign policy, it's all about symptoms and not about cause. We need to talk about the fact that the United States has sacrificed our moral leadership. #BigTruth #Marianne2020 #DemDebate

Not just to talk about health care, but talk about why are we so sick all the time. We need to have a serious conversation about race and what is truly owed. #Reparations #BigTruth #Marianne2020

And in order to do that we need more than political insider game and wonkiness and intellectual argument. Those things will not defeat Donald Trump. We need some radical truth telling. #BigTruth #DemDebate #Marianne2020

Yes, our problem is not just that we need to defeat Donald Trump. We need a plan to solve institutionalized hatred, collectivized hatred, and white nationalism. #BigTruth #DemDebate #Marianne2020

That is what government should do. All policy should help people thrive. That is how we will have peace and that is how we will have prosperity.

This is not just about a plan to do it, it’s about a philosophy of governing and I’ve heard some people here tonight, I almost wonder why you’re Democrats. You seem to think there is something wrong about using the instruments of government to help people. #BigTruth #DemDebate

We had a 2 billion dollar tax cut where 83 cents of every dollar goes to the very, very richest among us. That does not stimulate the economy.

...because so many Americans realize there is an injustice that continues to form a toxicity underneath the surface, an emotional turbulence that only reparations will cure. #Reparations #DemDebate #BigTruth

And I believe that anything less than $100 billion dollars is an insult and I believe that $200 to $500 billion is politically feasible today... #BigTruth #Reparations #Marianne2020 #DemDebate

If you did the math of the 40 acres and a mule, given that there was 4 to 5 million slaves at the end of the Civil War, and they were all promised 40 acres and a mule for every family of four, if you did the math today, it would be trillions of dollars. #Reparations #BigTruth

What makes me qualified to say $200 to $500 billion dollars? I'll tell you what makes me qualified. #Reparations #BigTruth #Marianne2020

That great injustice has had to do with the fact that there was 250 years of slavery followed by another hundred years of domestic terrorism. #Reparations #DemDebate #Marianne2020

We need to recognize that when it comes to the economic gap between blacks and whites in America, it does come from a great injustice that has never been dealt with. #DemDebate #BigTruth #Marianne2020 #Reparations

All that a country is is a collection of people. People heal when there's some deep truth telling. #DemDebates #BigTruth

First of all, it’s not $500 billion dollars in “financial assistance,” it's $500 billion dollars---$200 to $500 billion dollars--payment of a debt that is owed. That is what reparations is.

And if the Democrats don't start saying it, then why would those people feel that they’re there for us? And if those people don’t feel it, they won’t vote for us and Donald Trump will win. #BigTruth #DemDebates

We need to say it like it is. It's bigger than Flint. It's all over this country, it’s particularly people of color, it’s particularly people who do not have the money to fight back. #BigTruth #DemDebate #FlintWaterCrisis
