Yeah. When I was campaigning I always said “I don’t want to go to Washington and fight for you, I want to go to Washington and create a better world with you.”

Only in the last few years have we come up with this weird attitude that if someone doesn’t agree with us that they’ve “disappointed us.” Why have I “disappointed” you? Do we all have to agree with each other about everything all the time? Can’t we actually learn from each other?

Taxation that doesn’t favor the richest. End corporate subsidies. Regulate industry and financial institutions. Anti-trust. Wealth tax. Medicare for all. Better schools for all. Free college. Green New Deal. Higher minimum wage. Union protection. Those things get the ball rolling

There are many countries that in fact do mix them! For that matter, public schools and police and fire departments are basically socialist institutions. We ourselves have a mixed economy.

Every time a politician says they will “go to Washington and fight for you,” we should ask ourselves why it should be such a fight for every American to have a fair shot at a decent life.

An economic system based more on competition than collaboration will not only fail to solve humanity’s greatest challenges over the next 100 years. It actually created most of them & if allowed to will perpetuate them. We need a fundamental disruption of our economic status quo.

I don't get the "You vote alone" comment. They're not willing to vote as a block and exert the power that comes from that?
