For decades now, our healthcare system has become less affordable and lack of access to healthcare has become more deadly. Whereas lifespans have been increasing in other industrialized countries, ours has not kept pace. Housing, childcare, and education have also become less affordable. Gun violence has gone largely unchecked and all forms of violence based on racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and other bigotries continue to escalate. The wealth gap has reached staggering levels, with a tiny minority of people and corporations literally stealing our future and the future of those we love. Trump and the Republican Party have a goal of nothing less than destroying our democracy to hold absolute power. And of course, our planet is in crisis and we face the very real possibility of death on an unimaginable scale.
Do I point these things out because I want to generate despair? No. I point them out because the seriousness and urgency of our problems are the most compelling reasons to select Elizabeth Warren as the Democratic party nominee and the next leader of this country. She gives those of us who have come to know her tremendous hope.
The massive problems we face were not inevitable. They did not happen because of bad luck. We face them because of greed and corruption. We face them because the most selfish of the wealthy and powerful always in the end got their way. Democrat or Republican, failure to stand up to the wealthy and powerful or active complicity with them, many good people and some really bad, but never quite what we needed to turn things around, to make things right.t we will finally realize the power we would have by joining together under strong principled leadership to take back from them everything that is rightfully ours.
What is it that most terrifies the powers that be? What wakes them up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat? It’s the thought that we will finally realize the power we would have by joining together under strong principled leadership to take back from them everything that is rightfully ours.
And that is why Elizabeth Warren terrifies them so. She not only gets it, that corruption is at the heart of the problems we face. She has a detailed set of plans that are both practical and strategic to end that corruption. She has a detailed set of plans to take back the wealth we created and use it for our needs and our future. She has the gift of being a good listener. She can explain the complex problems and necessary solutions in a clear voice. She can inspire thousands at an event and touch each one personally at the same time. She can speak and be heard by anyone because she approaches each person with respect. And most importantly of all, she is not afraid. She does not fear the powerful. She does not fear the wealthy. They cannot bribe her or intimidate her or buy her into silence.
