If you want to protect your country from crony capitalist sabotage, you have to eliminate the CLASS that is pushing for said sabotage
FDR didn’t just pull us out of the Depression. He fundamentally altered economic/banking/political rules so it wouldn’t happen again. Several decades ago we started dismantling some of the very protections that FDR created, so crony capitalists could party more. And here we are.

How about just for today you talk about hope and love and peace? I’m a supporter but too much of how we got here there is time for that in the future but people have 18mos minimum to live with fear. Your greatest gift to people has been spiritually not politics.

I do plenty of that. If you look at my posts you’ll see that. But in the words of MLK Jr., we need a “quantitative shift in our circumstances & a qualitative shift in our souls.” We need both, and I talk about both. Either without the other is an inadequate response to the times.
