Trickle down economics has been a disaster for this country. It has completely destroyed America’s middle class. Democrats won’t win on the message that we can help people survive the disaster. We will win by saying we’re going to end it. Universal healthcare, tuition-free state colleges and universities, a guaranteed living wage, free childcare, paid maternity & paternity leave & guaranteed sick pay - like in every other advanced democracy! - will begin to right the ship.

I do not believe you can fix any of this unless you fix Citizens United first.

What do you think about our reliance on manufacturing being abroad?

In order to get these things, which I support, we need to end permanent war. Please take a stronger stand against the US risking World War III in a proxy war that is destroying Ukraine in a cynical (and failing) attempt to weaken Russia.

Ok, talking about an economic ideology no one has ever made is pretty funny

"Peace Dividend" has been squandered on more war, on bipartisan bases, from Clinton onwards. The only credible first step is to cut off the war funding. Which takes bravery few politicians are capable of.

There is no such thing as trickle down economics but there is something called hand-out economics. Hand-out economics kills the incentive to perform and rewards political affiliation rather than effort to achieve. It protects businesses and labor unions.

Have you ever had an original thought?

This list is suffering from the same issue the Libertarians face when they say things like "end the wars and end the fed." Similarly, "free healthcare, free college, and paternity leave" have drastically different popularity levels. Pick one, and that's the four year plan 1/2

You forget to explain to the sheep that follow you, where the money will come from to pay for all that "free" stuff. You leave out higher taxes, more taxes, more inflation and less opportunity to go from being poor to not poor.
