No I’m sorry but they did not address racism. They showed a lot of beautiful pictures of POC and made references to BLM, but there was not one mention of an actual policy to help end systemic racism. It’s like binge watching a Marriott commercial.

I’ll be live tweeting, but you should know that I’m still on pain meds for my surgery last week so this could go either way.

Republican Party has more elitist policies but an oddly more egalitarian relationship to its own constituency. Democratic Party has more egalitarian policies but an oddly more elitist relationship to its own constituency. I hope that changes over the next three to four days.

You're not "looking for common ground" when you tell those who disagree with you to sit down, shut up and do what they're told.

5/ I don't say this as someone who's anti-capitalist by the way. But I saw what happened in 1980. That's when we deviated from a social consensus that corporations should at least try to care about people's lives & dignity. The ball is in their court now, to reclaim a moral core.

4/It's up to American capitalism now to correct its course; it isn't up to young people to venerate it for no reason. It's become so untethered to any ethical or moral consideration for people or planet (+ our govt has allowed it ) that people's disgust is totally understandable.

3/ Why would someone celebrate capitalism if they can't even participate in it? How can you be a capitalist is you have no access to capital? I totally understand young people who say, "What about socialism is supposed to scare me - the free health care or the free college?"

2/Since 1980 we've so deregulated capitalism - through dissolving of fire walls, removal of anti-trust barriers and egregious permission for corporate America to unduly influence elections & policy w/ their money- that capitalism now serves the few at the expense of the many.

1/ I don't think they're arguing for pure Marxist theory so much as they're making a legitimate argument against unfettered capitalism. Capitalism has so strayed from its ethical central that millions of people have every right to now ask "What has global captitalism done for me?
