Misstep made by progressives over last few decades was surrendering the words “patriotic” and “moral.” Nothing more patriotic than taking a stand for democracy when it’s under attack, and nothing is more moral than to save children, stand for justice, save the earth, wage peace.

Let's start a movement to take back these words
Replying to @marwilliamson
When people use patriotism and morality/to tyrannize and oppress people they've succumbed to the dark side of "the force ". Ultimately the aim is to destroy genuine patriotism and the dictates of conscience. It's the misuse that is suspect, not the ideal of a moral democracy.

One person's patriotism is another person's treason, let's stick to issues and put all these labels to the side.

Replying to @marwilliamson
You’ve touched my heart in a way that no other candidate has. Thank you so much for that.
