1/ It's not that we don't have enough problem-solvers in America; we do. But our govt does more to fund & advocate for problem creators than for problem-solvers. Real problem-solvers don't necessarily create short-term corporate profits; they just create a more sustainable world

So true. But what will it take to get the greed out of government and their addiction to corporate funding? I know some people are waking up, but sometimes it feels hopeless. It would be great to see the light at the end of this existential tunnel.

Having run for prez I can tell you it won’t be easy; I spent a year in the belly of the beast myself. But it can be done! Abolition wasn’t easy, Suffrage wasn’t easy & Civil Rights movement wasn’t easy. We need to train & elect serious progressives & get the money out of politics

Thank you for that! I totally agree. It’s a long haul. It just can feel daunting at times. Happy there’s at least more spaces to express grievances, and to mobilize with new progressive candidates.
