With $900 billion you could give every American almost $3,000. If you gave people a choice I bet the vast majority - 82% favor cash relief - would prefer that plan. Why care more for institutions than the people?

Because they’re institutionalists, Andrew. Sharing power with the people never was and never is their plan. Get it...?

I sort of think it’s the opposite. Sometimes it’s a lack of blunt talk, not a lack of nuance, that’s the problem. It’s great that some trees have stayed healthy but the forest is still poisoned.

The big problem with blunt is that they're often misinformed about the basics because they're so emotionally-driven -- and is a big turnoff to moderates out there.
Moderates need more gusto, progressives need better policy ideas. They're not mutually exclusive.

I think progressives have a wide range of better policy ideas! M4A, free college, cancelling loan debt, green new deal, fair taxation, reforming police, money out of politics, ending voter suppression, economic & criminal & racial justice. No lack of policy ideas there.

What? People who didn’t go to college have no college loan debt! But 45 million do. I have no college loan debt but that doesn’t mean I can’t have empathy for those who do, or see the drag on the economy of that trillion and a half dollar debt
