I believe we need to fight for women's rights because we don't have equal rights. That's why I will fight to protect #roevswade #repealHyde, for equal pay, and end workplace discrimination. I will always be outspoken when women's rights are under attack. Belief Policy 6

What drives moderate Dems that refuse to #repealHyde & fight for women's equality? What drives the GOP belief that the decisions around our bodies aren't our own? What keeps them silent when powerful men abuse, attack & sexually assault women? Are we not equal in their eyes? 7

I believe that hard working American families shouldn't bear the financial burden of giving tax breaks to the already-super-rich and for $Billion corporations to pay $0. That's why I support forcing corporations and the super-rich to pay their fair share. Belief Policy 8

So what beliefs drive moderate Dems and the GOP to protect the super-rich through tax breaks, the easing of banking regulations and policies designed to increase wealth inequality? Do they believe that the promise of the American Dream is only for the super-rich? 9

Progressives like me believe in equity and equality for everyone at the expense of no one. Our policies reflect that. The policies as you move Right of ours range from reinforcing the status quo to seriously harming hard working Americans and marginalized communities. 10

I won’t pretend to understand the beliefs of politicians looking to deny millions of Americans healthcare or who are fine to let thousands of Americans suffer from homelessness. Their motivations however, can usually be found in their corporate PAC and Super PAC donations. 11

A politician against #MedicareForAll usually has a PAC driving their belief that healthcare shouldn't be affordable. If they're voting to fund wars abroad while neglecting our crises at home, there's usually defense contractor PACs financing them #TheresAPACForThat 12

Moderate Dems talk about moving to the "center" as the only way to beat Trump. They fail to understand that the "center" people care about isn't the halfway point between Dems and the GOP— it's the solutions needed at the center of people's lives no matter what their party is. 13
