What do I want?
I want an America where we have faith in the intellect of our fellow citizens, instead of worrying that they'll be 'low information voters' or bamboozled by dishonest super-pac ads.
I want an America where we have faith our elections will be conducted fairly.
I want an America that wants to grow stronger, and adopt the best traditions from around the world and make them our own. YES that means we should be more like Denmark! Denmark is, among other metrics,
the happiest nation in the world.
I want an America where we support the candidate we believe in, not just the candidate we feel would be best positioned to defend themselves against a barrage of lies.
I want an America where we're willing to admit we've made mistakes and learn from them (Iraq War). And when we do something half-right, like Obamacare, we're willing to say we can do better.
I want an America where we have confidence that if we work hard and play by the rules, we'll be able to provide for ourselves and our families and have a solid retirement.
I want an America where if you create something extraordinary profitable as a result of public investments, you should share that prosperity with your fellow citizens who financed you and made that possible. Obama was right, you didn't build that on your own. We have to share the wealth.
I want an America where we love each other instead of fear each other.
I want an America that embraces the values of charity, empathy, and kindness.
I want an America by the people, for the people
