I can only be the cheerleader. You’ve got this! It’s time for good to prevail over evil.

I don't have that kind of cash, but I'll pony up a smaller amount once you get to the $500k. Thank you so much for your work.

So Ramaswamy is trailing Amy Acton in a poll from last week for the Ohio governor race. The hits keep right on coming. There's a 19 point swing amoung women voters to Acton since August going from -10 to +1.

Wall Street health care will never be affordable. Speaking of affordability - My wife and I bought a very nice house in Miami for $42,000 in 1975. The young couples I knew at that time were all buying houses. I was earning about $16,000/yr as an engineer for the City of Miami Dept of Public Works. My salary x 2.5 = cost of that house. 3 years ago that house sold for $670,00. I would have to earn $270,000 to have the same purchasing power today.

This is what happens when corporations own our government.

Corporations have a legal obligation to shareholders - NOT to patients.

Sucks being one of the ones who would and can't versus being one of the ones that could but won't.

First, this is a fantastic idea. But second, may I suggest a more accurate headline or title:

"Trump is destroying America's ability to build".

A simple list of facts that everyone knows but cannot seem to connect reliably is that the Trump Regime is a criminal enterprise serving the techno-fascist elite, whose Project 2025 clearly identifies the intention to destroy the United States politically and economically, so that the oligarchs control absolutely everything. Remember, however, that these guys live in a make-believe world and are not only naive but ignorant. They will never understand the wealth of intelligence in the public and its deep morality, and are our salvation. Get to work!

This goes far beyond Trump. That’s one of the main themes I hammer in every piece. This is an issue decades in the making of which Trump is a symptom not the cause. It’s actually critical that folks understand that or we’ve got much less hope in solving the problems.

100%. I can't always say everything in the same breath, and we can count on you to be comprehensive in outlook (thanks!). It's better for people to understand how deep this goes, but our rude awakening does start with his example, his perhaps unwelcome highlight of their decades of bad faith politics. How many realize that he is the open sore that merely highlights our disease?

So far, it's unclear how this SuperPAC (essentially a marketing solution) can change the country and its economy. Yes, it can help with education, agitation, and elections and, to a certain extent, counter the official propaganda (essentially what Sanders, etc. do), but that's about all its capacity. A real change, especially in the field of economy, requires that our profit driven economic system changes, which is far beyond the capacity of even a reasonably progressive Congress. For example, the Mamdani's agenda in a nutshell is based on increasing taxation on super-rich ("profit sharing"), which, if successful (a big ?) can help some NYC residents, but in no way is a game changer.

The vision has to be placed in front of Americans so they can think about it and catch fire on their own. It has to be framed so the never-ending rant of 'socialism' can be countered. It isn't just that DJT is destroying. We have had our hands-on, learn it and do it culture ripped away from us. I think the understanding of building competence in the citizenry is key to rebuilding America.

Collective and public ownership of the major assets is the only way not only to build a prosperous future for the majority of the world population, including us, but even to sustain human civilization on this planet. The current economic system (black or green, oil or electric) will inevitably lead to a global catastrophe unless a divine or alien intervention takes place. And Corbin's motto "build, build, build", if implemented, will only accelerate our collective suicide. Of course, we are, probably, going to be the last in the row.

I think 'build' is not always the right word. We need for example many thousands of workers cleaning up the messes we have made. We can't go forward without clean waters, air, soil, we need to get plastic out of the oceans and leached heavy metals out of the soils and water tables. Fabric never needs to be trashed. We do need better mechanisms to do recycling, we need new material possessions that can be broken down and reused. We need recycling that actually takes place broadly, and much more of the materials to be reused. All of this demands a new relationship of citizens and residents as owners/ workers to the workplaces. And living wages must always be a part of it all.

….congratulations on your diligence, your passion and your expertise, but always the skeptic I wonder if you will disclose who your large donors are?

I’m planning to post it all.

That is a GOOD SIGN. Great sign to use in campaigns across the country. Truthful, visually vibrant and gets directly at the important point and says the key word : BUILD.
