I've Waited Long Enough. Corruption Equals Corporate Capture. Elizabeth Warren HAS A Plan For That.

[ancianita]

I don't like that one of the two candidates with clean donor bases is underfunded, so I donated $500 to the Elizabeth Warren campaign. I hope I'm not too late. I hope others haven't waited like I did.

When her AI asked why I donated, I texted:

1. You're the rightest of all our right candidates: Corruption = corporate capture.

America needs you more than it knows. You can SELL how a nation of laws is better for Americans than a nation of men. You're a constitutional lawyer.

2. You've impacted more people with the nuts and bolts CFPB (consumer financial protection bureau) than any other of our great candidates' records of public service, honorable as they are. You're a bankruptcy expert.

3. A Harvard professor is nothing on Wall St. But business insiders and Wall St. sweat over your nomination, and they will take YOUR calls.

4. You're dependably Democrat because you have a clean donor base, like my old #1 favorite, Gov. Jay Inslee.

5. 52% of this country, women, need Warren -- YOU -- in the West Wing. Women need a leader who sees women's leadership.

6. I've read a couple of your "plans for that," so I know that when you say "I've got a plan for that," I can trust that you're two clicks beyond laying out "ideas," and you can explain how to budget for them.

7. You have out-evolved Joe, Mike, and other Democratic candidates who might believe they've never had to evolve.

8. Most in the corporate world don't trust you. Yet you can convince the wealthy and their tools, that when they set aside austerity and poverty economics to stabilize climate, and the death deals of lawlessness, that the world for children will stabilize the future for all of us.

9. I want to help you dress to look more presidential. You've been convincing enough in your comfortable look with crowds. It's time that you look more the way most Americans want to see their leader, and not like a local campaigner. Time to style tweak that great hair, the outer jackets, upgrade the great color choices with quality.

10. You need Spanish speakers and black leaders to join you for more demographic voter outreach. Use Julian Castro more; he wants to help; welcome Millennial bands at rallies.

Above all, keep hammering away at corruption.

WARREN IN THE WEST WING!!

1. I never donate. I do not have the money. But yesterday, I was thinking to do the same.

You have convinced me. Not an hundred. 25. probably. But, I am poor.

[ancianita]

2. Anything is a help. I'd hate for her to go down because we didn't help her the best we could.

Thanks for your post!

[krissey]

3. I was thinking just that.

[Bettie]

11. I did 25 too

because it is important and I believe in her.

[blm]

20. Wonderful.

[blm]

4. You hit it out of the park.

[Squinch]

5. I love her. I wish there were indications that she could beat Filthy Donnie.

[ancianita]

7. She can think circles around him. She's got zingers!

You heard her answer to who would be her Pence, right?

[Squinch]

15. Hilarious! And right off the top of her head.

[blm]

17. She morphs into an assassin when confronting corruption.

People seem to forget how she bludgeoned Jamie Dimon.

How she eviscerated Wells Fargo.

6. Your post is inspiring

I’m donating too. I also think she’s our best candidate - so smart, and will do the right thing and back it up with intelligent reasoning.

[ancianita]

12. GREAT!

[pecosbob]

8. If it were 1990 I could vote for for Joe or Amy or Pete

But it's not...the carpetbaggers have descended on DC in force. The Interior Dept. is auctioning off our national lands as we speak. The Justice Department persecutes whistleblowers instead of lawbreakers. I keep expecting Sean Hannity to be named WH Press Secretary. I wonder what the over/under on White House Hatch Act violations for the next election will be...

I want Old Testament payback and wailing and gnashing of teeth...

Allowing the GOP to get away with Iran-Contra and phony WMDs led us right to this place. If the infection is not burned out it return more virulent than ever.

9. I can't match you, but I can donate again!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

10. I got a text back almost immediately ...

Hope the donation went through -- actblue wanted me to login afterwards and I don't have anything there to login to.

[ancianita]

13. Me, too.I didn't want to sign up for ActBlue's donor list, or give those shifties my email password.

Check your emails. It probably went through.

I don't like intermediary donor collectors, and remember directly donating to Obama rather than through the party.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

14. It got through ...

Got an email receipt.

The text asked why I donated at this time; my reply was a link to your op.

[ancianita]

16. Hah hah!

[blm]

18. So cool

[backtoblue]

19. Thats great of you!

[andym]

21. I just donated to Elizabeth too

more modestly, but I think she could use the support.

[ancianita]

22. Your donation is important. We need to get her to a brokered convention.

Which it’s looking to be at this point.

[blm]

23. I'm feeling positive that there's room for a breakthrough, and

that she can do it.

[andym]

24. I hope you are correct

I really think she needs a breakthrough..
There is still some room to come up with a plan on the market side to improve people's finances-- I hope she does something like this to differentiate herself.

[ancianita]

25. Structural change through a wealth tax is something the rest of us could go for,

and less scary than "socialism" to most Americans, when the money is actually our tax money subsidies shifted to the rest of us. Her way of explaining, without smugness or condescension, sells an idea that others don't or can't.

To only impose a 2 percent annual tax on a household’s net worth between $50 million and $1 billion, and a 6 percent tax on net worth above $1 billion hurts no rich people and helps millions and millions personally.

The estimated $3.5 trillion revenue from that tax, over a decade, would cover the cost of her plans for universal child care, K-12 education, free public college and student debt cancellation. It would also help pay for Medicare for all.

With Katie Porter doing the numbers, Kamala Harris as her AG, Pelosi in the House and Schumer in the Senate, the real economy will get better. And rule of law.

And two more women on SCOTUS.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

27. and Elizabeth Warren has shown that she can work well with others
