Guest Opinion: Elizabeth Warren has the vision and the plans for big, structural change

A Democratic state senator writes why the Massachusetts senator and presidential hopeful makes the best counterargument against President Trump in 2020.

For Americans who believe in liberty and justice for all, defeating President Trump is not enough. The next president must dedicate herself to defeating the forces that made Trump’s election possible in the first place. She must understand why Trump won, commit to ensuring it never happens again, and persist until the work is done.

I have endorsed Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., because I know she will be that president. She’ll be on campus from 3:45-5:30 p.m. Monday for a town hall at the IMU, and I hope you’ll join me in hearing her vision for the future of our country at this crucial time.

Warren understands Trump is a symptom of a broken system, not the cause of it. To prevent another demagogue like Trump from being elected, we must repair our broken democracy, end the corruption of Washington, and rebuild America’s middle class bigger and more inclusive than ever before.

There have always been moments in American history that demanded big, structural change. This is one of them. Once again, America needs a president with broad vision and deep conviction. Warren is that leader, and I hope you’ll join me in committing to caucus for her. You can learn more about her vision, take a selfie, and get involved at today’s 3:45 p.m. IMU town hall.

Yes, our system is broken. We MUST repair it.

The "same-old same-old" just will NOT work anymore.

But first, we must get the biggest Traitors OUT of office: Trump, McConnell and the WHOLE rotten, corrupt lot who aid and abet them!

are a group of sociopaths. They are terrified of their base who adores Trump and yes, they all must go. They were a pathetic party before, never forget the damage from Reagan. That was not a coincidence, it was their policies. Now they are nothing but thugs in suits.
