My question for you @marwilliamson is this:
Can we achieve the ideal without confronting the American reality?
1. We have a Constitution written for white, male, property owners.
2. We have a #Democracy that has abdicated its power to unaccountable #CorporateGovernment.https://twitter.com/marwilliamson/status/1261302399446253570 …

Untrue. We can have the same argument in Canada, Spain, Mexico, or even Tunisisa. There is nothing unique or exceptional about the principles they communicated. This conversation may also be read by the FBI right now. That's very American.
There are many strains to American history. You can look at some of them in isolation, or you can look at them as a whole. No one gets to be wrong or right here. And no, you can’t say all that about Tunisia, Mexico or Spain.

I do look at them as a whole. You're the one dwelling on mythology and repeating the American exceptionalism that drips from the forked tongues of our leaders. Why could we not have this conversation in Tunisia? You realize they overthrew their old government this way?

Tunisia has been women’s rights protections than we have here in the United States - Spain has way better family protections and workers rights than us https://youtu.be/sKJWwhDsui8
