I don’t entirely disagree, particularly with this president. Just making a distinction between what has happened to the system and how it was actually designed.

Repeal 2017 $2T tax cut (put back in middle class one), stop corporate subsidies, cut unnecessary military spending, let govt negotiate w/ big Pharma to lower drug prices, 3% tax on billionaire assets, 2% tax on $50M+ assets. Then there’s the cash on hand to do what we should do.

To think that is to deny the reality of millions of American children living in America’s domestic war zones. What you say was true for you and it was true for me, but it is absolutely not true for millions of others.

Just curious, as a woman. Where does “She’s right” and “She’s a powerful voice for requisite healing” connect to “Don’t support her for president?”

Where I disagree with you is the phrase “billionaire Tom Steyer and others like him.” Not every rich person is a greedy bastard & not every poor person is noble and pure. To me it’s the system itself that’s corrupt. Actually, Steyer makes many of the same arguments that you do.

They are co-equal branches of government. Our system was specifically designed so there is not in fact one centralized power.

Opportunity doesn’t = outcome nor should it. But we’re fooling ourselves to think the US gives equal opportunity, when millions of kids are hungry, millions get sub par education, millions are saddled with college loans, millions lack healthcare & unions are consistently attacked

Given that I’m running for president, I think it’s pretty obvious I’m doing whatever I can to defeat him. I’m hardly going soft on Donald Trump.

Buddha said the world is an illusion but Buddhists go to doctors. Einstein said time and space are illusions but he was a scientist. The metaphysical description of anything in the material world as an illusion is not anti-science or any anti-medicine. And depression is very real

I don’t absolve him at all, but neither do I absolve a system that made the rise of such a one as he almost inevitable.

I don’t agree with your idea of Tom Steyer as a sociopath, but the rest of your sentence I agree with.

When 40% of our people live in chronic economic anxiety, something has gone terribly wrong. Trump didn’t create the problem; he’s a product of it. That’s why we have to do more than prosecute a case against Trump; we have to prosecute a case against the system that produced him.

Not at all. The righteous person does not want to feel that they make money at the expense of other people having the opportunity to do so. With universal opportunity comes universal opportunity. THAT is what lifts all boats.

All domestic & international policy should be built around a single core principle: what would help people thrive? That and that alone is the key to peace, the key to prosperity, and the key to a survivable future. Everything else leads directly away from that goal. #Marianne2020
