1/ We have got to stop apologizing for wanting public policy to be guided by humanitarian interests. We should proclaim unabashedly that whatever improves the human condition ultimately improves the economy because it increases people’s creativity and productivity.

2/ The system’s response to that is always, “Oh silly unsophisticated one, you know nothing about economics!” They use the idea that economics is a verifiable science as a kind of magical spell to keep people from questioning assumptions that otherwise we’d know are so wrong.

3/ For instance many of them call an economy where 1% control more wealth than the bottom 90%, tens of millions live in or near poverty & 40% of the people can’t afford a $400 unexpected expenditure a “good” economy. Good? No economy where children are hungry is a “good” economy.

Politics should not be lead by oligarchs and corporatists. They have proven their ineffectiveness and have created the greatest income inequality since the Gilded age.Time to put humanity first. It’s the right thing to do.

I hear you, but if you go blazing forward without understanding the motivations of those around you (and sometimes against you), you will end up in the same place you started. At some point the DNC will realize and accept that the GOP is in part financially motivated.

Agree. Also highly support the factual assertion without mention of need for a raging battle. No need to invoke fear or defensiveness. We just voted that out. Emphatic, compassionate facts speak for themselves and build coalitions.

You're making too much sense. Let's us know if the incoming administration ever reaches out to you in some positive way.

I would love for you to chat with Jacinda Ardern on your podcast - I think the share the same values and perspective and the conversation would be so transformative

We need to continue to focus on pitching leftist ideas in the words of Jesus. Welcome the stranger, feed the poor, etc. I'm an atheist raised in the jewish tradition but I gotta say that Jesus dude was spot on.

But also that even if it didn't, it would still be worthwhile, because our first priority should be to improve the human condition, not money.

Don’t disagree with all this, but you’ll never take from the rich and give to the poor. The rich are rich for a reason. They’re smart, they work hard and they protect what’s theirs.
