If this is what comes from a Democratic administration then that means neither party has serious plans to save the earth. It’s like serving a great buffet on the top deck of the Titanic as the ship goes down.

I have given plenty of my own dimes and have founded charities as well. But no amount of private charity can compensate for a basic lack of social justice. I don’t begrudge people their wealth but taxes etc. should support the common good. It’s not utopian to want a just world.

The media has manipulated the political narrative to cast those who simply want as many people as possible to be able to live dignified lives as wide-eyed radicals, and those who are unmoved by the rapid disintegration of both our democracy and planet as sober-thinking moderates.

I think the Jesus analogy takes it a bit far. But I do think your tweet made sense at the time and throwing it in your face now is absurd.

Big shout out to @ZephyrTeachout and @CynthiaNixon today, both of whom were made to appear like bitchy hysterical women for having the *audacity* to challenge the great man.
