1/ It's not that we don't have enough problem-solvers in America; we do. But our govt does more to fund & advocate for problem creators than for problem-solvers. Real problem-solvers don't necessarily create short-term corporate profits; they just create a more sustainable world

2/ That's why we must passionately disavow the idea that the marketplace can solve every problem. The marketplace isn't set up that way and it shouldn't be. We shouldn't be looking for profit in order to care for our children, our sick or our aged. Some things we just do for love

3/ Which is also why we should disavow the (ridiculous) notion that our government should be run like a business. No it shouldn't. Our government should be run like a family. Care for the children (everyone's children) and the house we live in (the planet itself) must come first.

Every time I read one of your tweets I wonder why in the world are you supporting Joe Biden and the establishment Dems? They will never negotiate in good faith with us until we prove we will walk away from the table. Please advocate and vote

Many people walked away in 2016 and that did not change the behavior of the DNC. Re-electing Donald Trump will punish the American people more than it will punish the DNC. When I ran for Congress I ran as an Independent, but right now I feel the stakes are too high.

Not many did. Many more Clinton voters jumped ship in 2008 than Bernie’s in 2016. It’s always the most critical election in our lifetime and we always cave and they always screw us next time. It must stop. They need to know we are so serious we will let Trump be re-elected.

More Clinton supporters voted for McCain in 2008 than Sanders supporters voted for Trump in 2016. Remember PUMAs? Party Unity My Ass. Main point though - if we vote for Biden they will continue to take us for granted like they have the last 50 years.

First of all, Bill and Hillary Clinton are two different people. Secondly, while I deeply appreciate the desire to teach the DNC a lesson - more than you know – I don’t see electing Trump as having that desired effect. It didn’t last time.

It’s not about teaching the DNC a lesson. It’s about progressives and working class people gaining power and using leverage to end this cycle or corporate rule. I know you aren’t a big fan of the Democratic Party either and I have much respect for you.
