What do UBI, student loan debt forgiveness, Medicare for All, $15 min wage, and free college all have in common? The power of government placed in the service of its people. People are not here to serve the system; the system is here to serve the people.

I disagree with many of your policy proposals, but I will always respect and admire your compassion. We need more of that in politics.

Disagree. People need to pay for their own college and debt they chose to amass. I did. They had a choice. They chose an expensive school.

The problem is that the system is corrupt and can’t change it so don’t expect anything. Also the problem is that government is incompetent. The people should serve themselves. Take care of themselves. Don’t have kids If you can’t handle it.

Just as the interstate highway system created trillions in economic activity, invention of the smart phone created trillions of dollars from nothing, giving people FREEDOM TO CREATE THE LIFE THEY WANT will likewise generate more money out of nothing!

Capitalism fans criticize plans to forgive student debt as Socialist, theft, unfair, un-American. But when u borrow to invest in business, fail to make money, u can declare bankruptcy, erase debt. Students borrowed to invest, if they don't make money why can't they erase debt?

True. Yet you insisted on endorsing and supporting Joe Biden. You had other options, Marianne. Your name-recognition could have done great things, for example, for the #GreenParty, but you chose the #neolib route backing everything you supposedly reject.
