I look at thousands and thousands of young people of every color, ethnicity, sexuality etc., all excited about the possibility of political change and it makes me very happy. Other people look at that same phenomenon and feel threatened. That is the real contest, the subtext here

The very of America is so audacious - that everyone is created equal by God and therefore should have equal power and opportunity - that every generation has to play out the age-old contest between royalism and democracy. The contest is re-enacted in every era. Now it’s our turn.

Obviously I left out a word in that tweet. It was supposed to say “the very idea of America.” Sorry!

And @berniesanders is playing in fear and hate to ensure he wins. How is that different from @realDonaldTrump?! He is pandering to the fears on the Right while @berniesanders is pandering to fears on the Left. Is Love cast aside for Hate when its convenient?!

The ontological fallacy of expecting a light at the end of the tunnel, well, that’s what the preacher sells, same as a shrink. See, the preacher, he encourages your capacity for illusion. Then he tells you it’s a virtue.

I’m totally inclusive. None of this has anything to do with the use of the word “God.” What’s important is the application of love. Some who say they believe in God are loving, and some are not. It’s the practice and experience of love that matters.
