    .@AOC’s critique of “moderates” is spot on. Moderates are more naive than the visionaries if they think tinkering around the edges will solve systemic problems in our democracy and economy. It’s time to rewrite the social contract, not manage decline. pic.twitter.com/3Xhd3R1WYK

        Let’s take the recent example of how The Chair of the Arkansas Senate treated Senator Flowers when she spoke truth to power. Rather than respond to the content of everything she said in that video that’s gone viral, all he could do was focus on reprimanding her like a child.

        Moderation is filled with mainstream white supremacist values that we have adopted for centuries. It has always been a way to write off the passion of people of color as irrational or “crazy,” and not logic based. It has always been a way to minimize the legitimacy of the bold.

        Moderation in the U.S. can often be a form of gaslighting, to keep the radical changes that are needed from happening.

        I always go back to what Dr. King says about the white moderates in his letter from the Birmingham jail. They still continue to be the problem. Now is the time to be bold and act. It's why I couldn't support HRC. She was too eager to continue to accept crumbs. I'm not.

        Sounds more an more like you people are laying the ground work for a cultural revolution like what happen in China. Are you advocating communism as opposed to putting your ideas in the public arena ,asking the ppl to decide? Or do want to straight to a Chinese style gov.

        Moderation brings about full disclosure of #unintendedconsequences on these "pressing issues". After all, whatever the #GND eventually becomes, it's going to affect the lovers, the dreamers and every one of us both positively and negatively.
