We spend $858 billion a year on “national security,” while millions are not secure in their homes, secure in their jobs, secure they’ll get healthcare if they get sick, or secure that they will have enough food to eat, clean water to drink, or clean air to breathe. We need a radical reassessment of what the phrase “national security” should mean. It’s not enough to know another country won’t do you in, if all manner of things right here at home just might.

I'm not sure why "national security" is in air quotes. Do you think we should spend ANYTHING on national security? If so, how much? What specifically would you cut?
Are you going to try to run for president every 4 years and lose? Please find something else to do. Please.

And what does this ‘reassessment’ look like?? Will you be unveiling the new scope of ‘national security’ to the American ppl?

it's not enough to know another country won't do you in, when all manner of things right here at home actually do. . . I love the sentiment, but let's be real here--are you more dead from a russian bullet than you are from corporate poisons? or home-groomed fascist hate?

And you think the fascists in the DNC are going to allow you to change any of that? I can't decide if you are delusional or just a really good liar.

Yo, start activity calling the CIA out and for its complete removal from reality THEN I’ll start taking you seriously.
