AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”
“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

I don't hear a lot of people complaining about the state limiting the number of people one can marry.
Then surely limiting wealth hoarding should be no problem, either.
For the good of society. Nobody can hoard more than ten million USD.

'warehouses' is a weird way to spell 'concentration camps'.
AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

You can't sensibly talk about 'love' or 'consciousness' without first defining what you're talking about.
Otherwise, it's like talking about 'things'.
