1/ When I would talk on the campaign trail about things like a Department of Peace - about proactively waging peace - people would sometimes say to me “Marianne, you’re right but people aren’t ready for this yet.” I would often respond, “How much time do you think we have?”

2/ The horror of Covid could just as easily have been a nuclear catastrophe, conceivably with worse & even permanent results. Naive to think we’re any less vulnerable to that than we were to this. Another area where we must radically re-imagine the future if we’re to survive it.

We are ready. The Democratic establishment is not. BTW, Dennis Kucinich used to talk about a department of peace back in the early 2000’s. He also pushed for Medicare for all and was the only forceful antiwar candidate in 2004. Of course the Dems marginalized him as well.

How do we obtain peace while trampling liberty and starving Humanity death with renewables?

It’s only been...what... 100,000 years of brutality? But let’s wait longer before we use this tech for good and Utopia.

As is often the case, your reply is spot on.

We'll be 'ready' when we have no other choice?😂

We must do a better job of getting our Vets the help they deserve when they return home! It should not be a political talking point! Any Veteran will tell you it is insanely difficult transitioning back into civilian society! Support is out there but we must do more!

People often want results, but aren't willing to do the work to get there. They think wanting to establish something like a dept of peace means we believe we'd have peace overnight. It'd be only the first step in a long journey of undoing and unlearning all the lies for war...

and I would ask..what did you think it would look like? You know - that leader you've been waiting for? Who in gods name did you imagine they would be? & say? If not this, then what?
