1/ Imagine if we had a presidential candidate saying “Yep it’s true. We’re going to give you free healthcare. We’re going to pass a Green New Deal. We’re going to make college tuition free for everyone. We’re going to cancel all your college loans.”

2/ And when people asked “But how are we going to pay for all that?” the candidate would say “By taxing the segment of people whose tax cuts and corporate subsidies have amounted to the biggest transfer of wealth in our history over the last 40 years.”

3/ Call me whatever, but I cannot imagine that the American people would turn that down.

I couldn’t agree more, but in our current Corporatocracy, their campaign financing would immediately dry up as soon as those words escaped the candidate’s lips. We’re controlled by corporations and most (not all) people can see that more and more in our politics.

There are very few people left who I’m not afraid will sell out. Marianne is one of them.

It was insane to me that the concept of a "Green New Deal" was treated as a bad thing. What decade are we living in right now?

Seems like we had a view and then big political money gave them the boot.

Get money out of politics and it's possible. Keep electing candidates who only serve oligarch donors and it will only get worse. Right now, the Republicans probably will lose the election by a giant margin and win the presidency b/c don't want voters voting. Demand more.
