A fellow traveler. Ex-Xer. Pro-democracy.
Wants elected officials to do their damn jobs for the people!
Corporations are run by humans. Corporations are not people. Overturn Citizens United!

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
