We need more than a piecemeal, incremental approach to repairing this country. We need a new vision. We need fundamental economic reform. We need a 21st Century Economic Bill of Rights.

Shortly before he died, President Franklin Roosevelt asked the American people what they wanted after the war. They wanted health care. They wanted education. They wanted housing. They wanted a livable wage. And what Americans wanted then, Americans want now.

Roosevelt would have given it to them, and to the best of my ability so will I. We need more than a piecemeal, incremental approach to repairing this country. Poll after poll shows Americans feel that we are moving in the wrong direction. Why is that? Because we are.

We can turn around. We absolutely can. But we have to make it happen. Please listen to my speech on May 18th, tell your friends about it, and donate to the campaign so we can further the movement that is going to make it so. secure.actblue.com/donate/ma…

I and a great many other people canvassed and volunteered for Bernie Sanders over 8 years of two campaigns and we were crushed by the establishment. So what exactly is your plan to do better? Thanks and good luck. I mean that.

The issues in a campaign like mine are issues that a vast majority of Americans agree with. I don’t stand for those issues because I know we’ll win. I stand for them because I know they’re important. No candidate has a guarantee that they’ll win, or that they’ll lose. The point is to just keep pushing. I agree with Cenk Uygur when he said, “Somebody is going to break through.” And that’s enough, just knowing that. If we push hard enough, somebody is going to break through…

What about a medical bill of rights? Do you support Pandemic tyranny? This is my biggest unanswered question about your campaign.

I hope she says "economics" like a working class person would. Not "eekanomics", but "eckanomicks", ya know? Does she run her own twitter?

We need unconditional basic income. It's the missing foundation that should exist underneath all other rights to help secure them and make them real. We cannot continue to withhold survival income from people, for any reason at all. UBI is a human right. scottsantens.com/the-spaceba…
