Beginnings matter. When patterns are set at the beginning, it’s harder to make changes later. Medicare4All; UBI in pandemic & beyond; cancel college debt; challenge MIC; to Green New Deal - be willing to come in strong and loud at the beginning or they’ll never gain a foothold.

Yes ... beginnings do matter ... and that's a great list ... we need to collectively ... push ... BIDEN!

Marianne is always talking about pushing policies over politics and politicians. Because Dems have failed us over the past 40 years. They set aside universal programs to fight w/GOP. Gaining voter support will kill fascism and the GOP. Fight FOR something and we'll win.

I’m quite certain, even if you aren’t, that the dems are already planning their next drama or excuse for refusing to correct the destruction they’ve caused for 40years. And everyone will fall for it, just like this fake coup and impeachment.

Biden needs to be ... PUSHED! ... Otherwise it will be the same old incrementalism! ... and Nothing will really change!

And a moratorium on drone strikes.

Part of the new pattern requires rebuilding from old destruction.

Fight for it ALL loud & proud and you’ll get something. Fight for crumbs and you’ll get nothing. Power concedes nothing without demand.

Those of us abandoned at birth know this all too well.

I call it setting a precedent. It must be done in the beginning and then held to.
