Years of experience has led me to believe that the American people are not the problem. Poll after poll makes clear that the people’s “will” is for a moderate, decent alignment of public policy with the angels of our better nature. 🧵

The problem is a sclerotic, corrupted political system that does more to obstruct than to facilitate the expression of the will of the people.

That system will go to extraordinary lengths to make sure the unholy alliance of government and corporate wealth is not disturbed. We have to be willing to go to any (peaceful) lengths to make sure it is.

We participate making us apart of the problem. It doesn’t do any good to play nice and not hold the citizens accountable. This is not a true comment.

You also have to come to grips with the truth: We do not have systemic racism in this country, we have systemic, generational poverty driven by 45 consecutive years of 70% out of wedlock birth rates. This has resulted in crime and poverty, and denial of these facts is pure folly

The only way to solve a problem is to acknowledge what the problem really is. And this requires data, analysis, not denial.
