The New York congressional candidate on overturning the gerontocracy, how the labor movement and socialists can rebuild the Democratic Party, and how to unify the working class to beat Donald Trump
Thanks for having Claire on. I think everyone running need to level set on the absolute requirement that we be planning serious government reform. No one person should be able to declare war and begin dropping bombs. No one should be able to build their own militia and set them on the country with no rules. The supreme court should have ethics rules that they must be held accountable to. etc. etc. I think it is a much more important plan to have and publicize than having a plan to put Trump and his cabinet in jail. I'd like for them to be held accountable but we first need to make sure this never happens again and we need to stop the spending and begin to tax everyone fairly very very quickly. At the same time the courts can be dealing with lawlessness and corruption of this administration. (Yes that means a strong Attorney General that can rebuild the the Justice Dept.)
We are here in Queens are so so lucky to have Claire Valdez represent us. Gayle from SunnySide.
Fabulous conversation! Claire Valdez is the future. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Clyburne: hubristic greed. Time to step back. DSA is legit-the time is NOW (and has been needed for decades).
