Healthcare debate locked up by health insurance companies. Foreign policy debate locked up by military industrial complex. Political debate locked up by the corporate duopoly. Climate debate locked up by Big Oil. The list goes on. Face it, but then consider: There is another way.

There are a number of actionable ideas that people all over this nation are working upon. RCV, Open Top 5 Primaries, National Popular Vote, etc. On our new podcast, we interview many of the folks behind these organizations. We would love to have you on the show as well Marianne!

It seems like the big companies.. corporations and Industrial complexes..oil etc are making the decisions for all of our people. We must bring it back home now. This way we are giving up our futures..our decisions..our way of life. Somewhere we forgot about love and compassion❤

The majority of Americans support and are complicit with: Wall Street (might be rich one day) Imperialism (American exceptionalism) Duopoly (keeps poor, BIPOC in check) Fossil Fuel (fear of paradigm shift) USA is imperialist and majority of citizens are ok with it.

Yes, the current "way" of VBNMW is a spectacular failure. "There is another way"

That way appears to be headed in the same direction it always has, even worse, because now corporate capitalism is poised to take over the "green new deal" movement like it's coopted everything else- buying it out. We need a big fat dose of Course in Miracles and Ernest Holmes.

Very important tweet. Fortunately some day this will change when most of us baby boomer are dead.. say 2045. Doesnt automatically mean things will be better, but i think they will.. these old ideas ( the ones in MWilliamson tweet) that are criminal to say the least will die.
