Most politics today speaks to people’s self-interest, done as a way to gain power. The winning alternative is a politics that speaks to conscience, nobility & our capacity for higher intelligence. We act good when we’re invited to; we’re hardwired for connection not disconnection

The pursuit of power is the inherent nature of politics. The reason politics is so divisive is because everyone is fighting for the same reigns of power. The solution is to decrease the power of government and to disperse it to the local level as much as possible.

Have you spoken to @JoeBiden as to forging an important new cabinet post which you could lead? "Department of Peace and Healing" perhaps? I know you want to serve, you would be terrific.

Or at least figuring out how to get people to understand in the long term a lot of what they are supporting is against their own self interests. That they have tunnel vision.

Does anybody have a monopoly on what’s conscientious, noble, and intelligent? Some people certainly want to pretend that for this coming election.

After following you for a while, I’m starting to rethink shipping @AndrewYang/@marwilliamson for US President/VP 2024. @marwilliamson, I find your parallels disparate, and I question the factuality in your statements. You remind me of chain email forwards from the 90s and 2000s.

Do that few of us care more for the greater good?

President Trump is fighting for ALL American Citizens. 🇺🇸 Unlike most members of DC, including yourself.
