It’s time now for change in America. Nonviolent change. Peaceful change. Loving change. Yet fierce change. Fundamental course-correction. There’s a rumbling underneath the surface of things, and it isn’t going to stop. It will burst into manifestation in one direction or the other: either greater brotherhood and justice, or authoritarianism and dystopia. This isn’t a time to be neutral, because neutrality implies acquiescence to an unjust status quo. In the words of Thomas Paine, “Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.” It’s time to commit to the repair of the world. #marianne2024

What specifically and precisely are you going to do if you become President? The flowery language is impressive, but the specifics are lacking.

Revolution is a feverish coercion, but it is not democratic

You give me hope, @marwilliamson. If you know the Hunger Games series, you give me hope.

Add our twisted economics... NOTHING gets done without the Average Joe taking out a loan, taking out a "note", going into debt... So the hired providers get the "cost of doing business" paid 100% up front... Yet Average Joe pays for 6-30 years afterward. Affluent wins.

Who would want change? Let's say Americans are divided into kinds of people. They "know" where they rank against others. Facts don't matter, only feelings, envy, jealousy, and hatred. Why would anyone "better" want to share power equally with "lower", "One Citizen, One Vote"?

And protecting our First Amendment bc if we lose free speech, we lose it all. The government doesn’t decide what is permissible in public dialogue. If we can’t share different thoughts and opinions of matters of great importance, then we are America in name only! #FirstAmendment

If it doesn't come from the Progressives it will come from the Fascists, like the choice in the 30s. Diff is this is the finite stop of capitalism. And you Yanks have been skirting up your arses for the rich for 250 years.

You will NEVER effect change running as a Dem candidate. The Dems no longer even bother to lean left in anything other than their campaign rhetoric and gaslighting lies All progressives must #DemExit #DontVoteDem #CornelWest2024
