Yes, actually. If humanitarian rather than economic values were our bottom line, then the US would already be much further ahead in the availability of testing.

Some believe that making love our bottom line is naïve. What’s actually naïve as to assume humanity will survive another hundred years on this planet if we do not.

That’s my point. It certainly does. We now have 1 billion people on this planet living on less than a dollar a day. If Love were the bottom line in public policy, the US would be leading the effort to a eradicate global poverty within 10 years.

I’m not thrilled with it. I feel badly that consideration for the state of Afghan woman has not been part of the negotiation. Were I to have been president, meetings with Afghan women would have been key in determining my policy for withdrawal.

Politics emerging from the wisdom of the ages, calling for humanitarian values to replace economic ones as the organizing principle of our society - making love the bottom line in the development of public policy - is the power that can pave a path to a just and sustainable world

The real political polarity in America today is not between left and right; that’s a ruse. The real polarity is between corporatists who form the elite within both parties, and those aware that an aristocracy made up of huge corporate entities is inherently unjust and un-American

You say that as though you know who’s going to be controlling the House and the Senate next year. In fact, you do not.

“Traditional conservatives” and “traditional liberals” are exactly who created all this blowback. Sanders is absolutely not the person described in this article. Someone must disrupt the pattern of corporatized injustice in order to save our democracy; either BS or EW would do it
I’ve just watched populism destroy traditional conservatism in the G.O.P. I’m here to tell you that Bernie Sanders is not a liberal Democrat. He’s what replaces liberal Democrats. nytimes.com/2020/02/27/opini…

My Democratic friends do not hate America, any more than your Republican friends hate Americans. We need to drop those ridiculous stereotypes.
