This is a poll headlining moveon.org’s web site today, December 2018. This seems very much a tribal approach with little content, certainly no falsifiable content.
I am concerned with the destruction of the liberal democratic state, and the hijacking of its mechanisms by finance capital. „Move us towards a more progressive future“?
„Commits to platform positions to see these connections through“? Whatever does this mean? What does it mean to „see a connection through“?
„A track record of taking on entrenched power and is willing to fight against big institutions“? Is it remotely possible to be considered a viable Democratic Party candidate without the solid support of entrenched power and financial institutions? Which candidates within my memory of the last 40 years in any way wrestled with entrenched power or big institutions? Perhaps efforts to promote single-payer healthcare?
„Restore order in Washington by working across the aisles“? I’ve seen „working across the aisle (singular)“ as indicating bipartisan efforts. What does aisles in the plural mean? Have Democrats like Obama, Pelosi, Schumer been remiss in their efforts to work with Republicans?
I am concerned about the threat of nuclear war. I am concerned about climate change. I read about the unprecedented and increasing inequality of both wealth and income in the US. Life expectancy is decreasing, while deaths from suicide and drug overdose increase. How are these issues addressed in Moveon’s poll?
