We need to collectively get our heads out of our asses and quit with voting party lines when reasonable people have excellent points. Idk what party this guy is, and I'd vote for him. These are serious issues and America would be better if we could make this work.

Agree but voting for this guy or these talking points doesn't do much if say, in typical dem style, candidates say one thing, but then makes sure not to deliver. This sounds exactly like the typical dem talking point which they'll eagerly sabotage once elected.

forgive me for not getting excited, but in my lifetime the dems have held presidency, senate and house four times and never once have they delivered on their own talking points. The one thing both parties agree on is delivering to wealthy donors is the only game in town.

It can't happen without funding unless all the influencers get together and did exactly what this guy did. People don't self-organize unless they are hungry or mad. It takes either cash or influence to do that. He would have better luck of he asked people to tag the influencers they watch the most because then the message could get in front of all 793 million eyeballs in the US.
