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.

You're nowhere close to being a "moderate" though.
