The way to defeat authoritarianism is not by going on endlessly about how terrible Trump is. The to defeat authoritarianism is by offering people so much more….presenting a more compelling vision. We need a 21st Century Economic Bill of Rights: universal healthcare, tuition free college and tech school, free childcare, paid family leave, guaranteed sick pay and a guaranteed living wage... marianne2024.com/economic-bi…

All of the issues I mentioned above are considered moderate positions in every other advanced democracy. Most of them are granted to the citizens of every other advanced democracy. The reason we don’t have those things is not because we can’t afford it, or because it’s just too complicated. The reason we don’t have them is because our government is corrupt - held hostage by the purveyors of corporate greed. The time to push back hard is right now. #marianne2024 marianne2024.com/economic-bi…

During COVID, Japan gave their average citizen more than $140,000 per year, each That's how much they value their citizens, It's almost embarrassing to talk about the figure that was offered to our citizens.

We are a constitutional republic in order to avoid tyranny of the majority. With nearly half of people in the country not paying taxes but voting how the money from the rest of us gets spent, we are almost there.

The reason we don’t have these things is because they don’t serve the interests of the oligarchy (the American wealthy), and it is the oligarchy that controls the politicians. Elected faces are Potemkin facades on that reality, so elections won’t change that. What will?

The US is not a democracy. Do you believe that you can provide those things without forcing the unwilling to contribute? It not, then what you advocate for is just legal plunder.

On your spiritual platform you state: "A Course in Miracles says we achieve so little because we have undisciplined minds" (MW). What do you want people to go by?

Those “democracies” are beyond broke and have dwindling economies, massive energy costs and have censorship regimes that make Hitler look like a nice guy. I’m all set.
