We need a political agenda based not on corporate imperatives of short-term profit but on moral imperatives of long-term good. And we need to be people wise enough and strong enough to turn it into political force.

Do you really think corporations don’t think long term? No successful business is only thinking short term.

American capitalism has become more focused on short-term profit over the last few decades, and in some cases that’s appropriate. What’s inappropriate is their undue financial influence on government, which should always be thinking and acting in favor of long-term societal good.

Unfortunately the wrong people tend to go into politics and succeed once there. I believe you ran as a moral person, and we saw how you were treated. Same with @AndrewYang, @TulsiGabbard, @GravelInstitute, and @VoteOjeda2020. The media dismissed and undermined the good ones.

This “movement” needs true leadership who have nothing to lose but the chains of oppression.
