…it is not good enough just to be critical of Trump and his destructive policies.
(Thought that was a good addition from the article, left out of the subtitle.)
Here are just a few of the issues that must be addressed:
We must create a vibrant democracy by ending Citizens United and preventing billionaires from buying elections.
Whether the Democratic establishment likes it or not, we must guarantee healthcare as a human right through Medicare for All.
We must build millions of affordable homes and apartments and give our younger generation the opportunity to own a home of their own.
We must make public colleges, universities, trade schools and medical schools tuition-free and have the best childcare and public school system in the entire world.
We must expand social security and bring back traditional pension plans so that every senior in this country can retire with dignity.
We must raise the minimum wage to a living wage and guarantee every worker the right to join a union.
We must demand that the wealthiest people and most profitable corporations in America pay their fair share in taxes.
That’s a great list and all, but this is the guy who urged revolution and then turned tale and ran away three times and three times told us to vote for people who would never give us even a fraction of one of these things on this list. I was all in for him, but he let us down bad.

No one is getting a single one of those bullet points out of Democrats
They damn sure aren’t getting a shred of one out of Jill Stein.

That’s cool but how are you going to do it?
I don’t know. Some of these points seem like discussion enders for many people. I suppose all I can think about is what I will do.
