You think the Squad has captured Texas and Florida? What...? And what are you afraid they’re going to do, feed children and give people healthcare?

The profundity of the founder’s vision is not that they thought all people would be smart and nice all the time. But they believed that if there was free education and a free press, more often than not good ideas and wisdom would rise to the top.

If we want policies that help working class people, then we need more working class people making the policies. “I am a working class mother of five. I am a wife, a daughter and a caregiver. I am a first generation daughter of immigrants.” ~ @Angelica4CA angelica4congress.com
