    You get healthcare, you get healthcare, everyone gets free healthcare.

    The rent is too damn high, we’re going to put crippling taxes for owning empty housing

    We’re going to tax corporations and close loopholes, and get rid of all income taxes for all

    Clear messaging with easy, simple solutions. Ram them through.

    They’ll cause side effects, but who cares? The cost of rent will plummet, Americans will have more money in their pockets, and they’ll get on board with more nuanced things. People will worry about their retirements or “the economy” at first, but they’ll get on board when these simple promises are fulfilled and they feel it

    Then we work on unions, tax breaks and sweetheart loans for worker owned businesses, breaking up corporations, an actual green new deal, fixing elections, etc. All the nitty gritty most voters don’t want to take the time to understand

    And we’ll just keep hitting it. They say “Our economy is ruined, these people are destroying this country”. We don’t bring up facts and figures, just keep slamming soundbytes “is your rent cheaper? Is your paycheck bigger? These people want to tax you so they can pay off the 1%”

      See now this is a much better answer. I think if you ran on those stances you would be a pretty popular candidate.

      The more money we can pull out of the 1%s coffers and move into the hands of the working class the better.

      I think we should also prevent corporations from buying homes like Black Rock and others are doing.

      No more government baleouts for companies that fuck everything up. IF we have to baleout a company like GM they don’t deserve to keep operating. Government takes over control and slowly sells off assets. Yes people will lose their jobs in the short term, but someone will need to fill the void of the missing production so in theory other car companies would expand to fill the space left behind and they would need to hire employees. Probably the employees that lost their jobs because the GM executives were greedy and/or stupid.

      The working class is what keeps this country functioning. Not the top 1%. Put money in their pockets again and the economy will be stronger than ever before.
