The Democratic Party should be on notice: if you even think about using superdelegates to take the nomination from someone who has the plurality of delegates going into Milwaukee, we the people will not take it lying down. nitter.vloup.ch/aishaismad/statu…

6 candidates, but only 2 categories onstage. Bernie and Elizabeth feel our government has been rigged long enough against the American people. They would realign our public policies with economic justice, while everyone else is an argument for a better version of the status quo.

We learned as kids why it’s important we have an elected president instead of a king. This is what happens when people grow up not learning civics. If you don’t learn the traditions/laws of democracy as a child, you don’t know as an adult to be horrified if they’re under assault.

“... then figure out how he can stay longer.” Everyone should read this. It’s the line they’re touting and they’re very serious.

Our motivation for winning in 2020 can't just be to defeat Trump. If that's all we're about then even if we do, the same forces will be back big in '22 and '24. Our motivation has got to be greater: to end an aberrational, soulless chapter of American history and begin a new one.

We need to support strong progressives in states like Indiana! Hoosiers need a progressive champion in Congress. @JimHarperIN will stand for people and planet, humanitarian bottom line, Green New Deal. He has what it takes to win but he needs our support. bit.ly/2FFYK09

No, self-regulation is not the wave of the future when it comes to corporate behavior. That’s exactly what we have had, and it has produced the largest income inequality since 1929. The wave of the future is a return to appropriate tax and financial regulation.

It's not that corporations are evil at all! But over the last 40 yrs corporate behavior untethered to ethical considerations has been giving undue financial influence over public policy, replacing "of the people, by the people, and for the people" with a corporate agenda instead.

And they put themselves before the people BY putting obeisance to the will of their corporate donors before advocacy for the people. So it's the same thing.

If you don't like the way the Congress operates - if you feel too often it puts corporations before people - then this is the moment to do something about it! See here for ideas...downwithtyranny.blogspot.com…

It’s not deriding capitalism to insist that it must have a conscience. Even Adam Smith said a free market needs an “ethical center.” Problem isn’t that some people can make $ here; the problem is that not ENOUGH people can make $ here. Too much capital is in the hands of too few.

Elect leaders who will repeal the ‘17 tax cut (put back in the middle class one), stop corporate subsidies, cut military spending, take better care of kids, pass universal health care, get $ out of politics. Those would be a good start.

Trickle-down economics is a 40 yr old amoral monstrosity that puts sort term corporate profits before ethical or moral consideration for people, animals or planet. It has corrupted our economic system, our govt and in many ways our collective soul. Now is the time to say NO MORE!

Progressive women running for Congress this year are such an amazing group of people. They could change this country tremendously. @voteashcraft's vision for #NY12 and beyond is a great one. I’m proud to endorse Lauren Ashcraft. laurenashcraft.com -- bit.ly/2FFYK09
