over our elected government, and the world's governments at large. And they must admit that Citizens United was a huge mistake that must be overturned. Money is NOT SPEECH, and corporations are NOT people. And not all "regulations" that make life better for the public generally are bad.
The billionaires are trying to take over the world, and steal EVERYONE'S money. They want to make our elected government subservient and powerless to stop them from raping and pillaging the world.
"Government" has it's faults, but these people need to show me a fundamental shift in thinking on this particular subject, again AT A MINIMUM. Otherwise, they still don't get it, and I have no use for an alliance with them because they're simply always going to be at cross purposes with what is most important. IMHO, the worlds biggest problem "billionaires blatantly corrupting government to serve their own interests, and nobody stopping them".
Eventually the world will be outright ruled by billionaires if this trend continues. This is the most existential crisis we have, and so many OTHER problems flow from it (including not doing nearly enough to fight climate change, and countless other problems that stem from the rich having control over EVERYTHING). They need to understand the billionaires WANT us all fighting over matters of rights and social justice, so we never bind together to fight THEM.
Of COURSE there are an endless number of "good to have" things I could list, but I'd be here all day. I can bring myself to make common cause if they'll come around to understanding the importance of this particular matter, even if we disagree on 100 other points.
When I get down to it, what I'm really talking about here is: RESPECT FOR DEMOCRACY. Without that, I don't care what OTHER things they might come around on, like admitting Trump is a terrible human being who doesn't belong anywhere near the Oval Office.
MHO, fwiw.
