We have all the numbers we need to turn this system on its head.

If we are going to save our hides, we need to start with democracy.

There's one other element I just want to be sure to mention here: that is that there are 43 million young people who are locked into predatory student loan debt for whom there is no way out in the foreseeable future given the economy that we have: this predatory Wall Street driven financialized low-wage service industry economy.

That is enough to win a three-way presidential race. If young people understand they have the numbers and they have the power to come out and turn this election on its head.

We call for a green New Deal, like the New Deal that got us out of the Great Depression, but in this case focusing on green jobs to create 100% clean renewable energy by 2030, which is exactly what the science calls for.

In my experience what I'm hearing from people now is that they're just desperate to hear about something else.

If Bernie Sanders were liberated from the Democratic Party, it might be a whole new ballgame.
