The US government has broken faith with the American people, breaking the social contract that has been the pillar of our greatness: that this country belongs to its people, with a government that is the advocate of their good and protector of that ownership. Today, for all intents and purposes this country belongs to huge corporate entities, our government effectively their advocate more than our own. This is not a small problem that can be fixed with incremental solutions. It is a huge fundamental problem that can only be fixed by a massive political awakening on the part of the American people who, realizing they have been played, demand nothing less than fundamental economic reform. #marianne2024

“a massive political awakening on the part of the American people” is what the politicians and their corporate owners fear the most. It’s the reason they effectively neutralize the Sanders campaign last time around. Only a fool believes electoral politics will solve this.

😂You want government control you are a authoritarian lover

There is no social contract, that's just what authoritarian psychopaths say to help themselves sleep at night

What’s your view on #Reparations Now? You campaigned in 2020 about that issue?

And the military industrial complex. Didnt you support arming ukraine with 130 billion in killing machines? Wonder who that benefitted. Probably some corporate entities
Replying to @marwilliamson
by the way, for that awakening, they will need a focal point. it's called systemic corruption and it's the word for some of what you describe above. and the social contract has always been thus.

Marianne - is there anyway you can step in to lead the political awakening that you speak of know - i believe many feel you could be more effective that way. There is a void in our country. Even if by some miracle you were elected president you need congress to get anything done
