Just thinking about all those "qualified" people who gave us the war in Viet Nam, the War in Iraq, 20 years too long (of failing) in Afghanistan, didn't care - or didn't have the spine - to give Americans what the citizens of every other advanced democracy have: universal health care, free college, paid maternity/paternity leave, free child care and a guaranteed livable wage. I mean, they've done such a bang up job and all. Over the last 48 years, $50 trillion has been transferred from the bottom 90 percent of Americans to the top one percent. The idea that only those whose careers have been entrenched in a system that drove us into that ditch should possibly be considered "qualified" to lead us out of it is preposterous. We don't need to respect such a system; we need to disrupt it.

Yet you keep voting for the very same people that do it. Sad.

This (govt experience) would be your MAJOR ISSUE and your BIGGEST opportunity or Achilles heel. I'd create a list of your Ideal Cabinet ASAP. Even if they disown it - doesn't matter - the truth is if you won they'd likely be begging to serve even though they wouldn't admit now.

Not new, just not said enough. I'd vote for you.

And yet you still support sending billions to Ukraine for a war we created. This whole post is BS and you’re a hypocrite if you keep supporting the war in Ukraine and bowing to the Democrats. Stop gaslighting us

So your running as not IKE or Bush II? Or as a grift?

Normal people don’t want or need any of that. If the government would just get out of the way and stop taxing and regulating us into oblivion we could afford all of that ourselves. I don’t want to pay 50% taxes to get crappy health care. I don’t want to receive $2000/month…

So the wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan were bad. What’s your Ukraine position again?

Well it looks they're already positioning Marianne to keep disaffected progressives engaged in Democratic Party theater.

We cannot continue to fund these proxy wars with troops all over the world and have nice things. Infrastructure is an embarrassment. Get off the war drumbeat and then get back to us.
