1/ There’s a reason the federal govt wasn’t prepared for this.There’s a reason we haven’t responded adequately. There’s a reason we’re not feeding the hungry. And there’s a reason why the bailout is more of a gift to the rich than to everyone else: Because sociopaths can’t love.

you make a brilliant point ... sadly, the founding of our nation privileged the wealthy and the landowners. Perhaps wealth should be disqualifying when running for public office. Hard to be in touch with the realities of the 99% if you don't live it. I'm not being sarcastic

We just need to get the money out of politics. At this point it’s unreasonable to think we’re going to be able to overturn Citizens United anytime soon, so we need a constitutional amendment establishing public funding for federal campaigns.

IMO, nothing is more important than getting money out of politics. If we can get money out of politics, that’s when we can truly transform this country for the better. We also have to do something about the state media, that’s dividing this country.

This amendment should also limit costs & duration of all political campaigns to 6-8 weeks like in the rest of the world - to minimize the opportunities for corruption wherever possible. The current system is an absurd waste of time & resources designed to serve the donors.

That’s how it is in Canada. And none of this campaigning for years BS either. It’s a set period of time and a set amount of funding.
