To the "Oh she's not a serious candidate" crowd: I take seriously that America has the highest poverty rate of any advanced democracy. I take seriously that one in four Americans live with medical debt. I take seriously that tens of millions of Americans live with over a trillion dollars of college loan debt just so that greedy financial institutions can leech off young people's desire to become educated and better their lives. I take seriously that we need to ramp down fossil fuel extraction NOW if we're in any way to keep faith with the right of future generations to even survive on this planet. I take seriously the threats to democracy posed both by neo-fascism attacking it from the outside, and neoliberalism eroding it from the inside. Of course "they" don't want you to think I'm serious. Because. they're. not.

Isn’t there a wayward moonbeam the needs saved somewhere? Why are you bothering all of us?
Replying to @marwilliamson
I'll check back in 9 months and see if you do a 3rd party bid, or at a minimum encourage people to stop voting red and blue.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Higher taxes. Got it.

Yet you run as a democrat corporation who deserves at least 50 percent of the blame and will endorse a man who has been a major contributor to the mess. That’s a red line….
Replying to @marwilliamson
And yadda yadda. Mostly you take your job seriously, e.g. sucking in Stein/Bernie types to siphon votes from the Dem candidate. Did I leave anything out? Misconstrue your intentions? Talk out of school?

Now try offering serious solutions to any of that. You haven't, and you can't. Because you're not a serious candidate. It's just pandering BS on your way to not winning a single delegate.

You're a capitalist. That should rule you out right there. As well as the other well known candidates running. Join a Marxist party.

Our gov't says we can't afford M4A, student loan forgiveness, etc. But somehow, we have billions of dollars to send to Ukraine, one of the most corrupt countries in the world, for a war we started.
