The worst things that ever happened to politics is the adoption of the Left/Centre/Right framework. It’s limiting & flawed and does not accurately represent people’s reality or thinking.

All it does is create false narratives, divisions, & opportunities to game the system.

There’s a better way.

Ppl are exhausted by shouting at each other, & the inevitable result is greater extremes of folks who won’t open their ears or their thinking.

A better model is a circle w/ connective lines bridging the distances.

A Dreamcatcher framework.

I have always said that Being fiscally conservative and socially progressive cannot coexist.

That’s why I have always used the term:

#FiscallyResponsible

It’s a term that lets you find a sensible balance.

And it rejects the scourge & ideology of NeoLiberalism completely.

If there’s a sickness in the land it’s the philosophy of selfishness and of poverty being an individual failure rather than a societal failure.

Poverty costs us all more than dealing with and eradicating poverty.

Poverty is fiscally stupid and unsustainable for societies.

The light in the land is the strength of communities helping each other, watching out for each other - lifting each other up.

That’s what energizes me and fuels me to work ever harder to build prosperity.

Strong, supportive community builds lives, builds cities, builds nations.

So that’s the preamble. At some point I’ll unpack the Dreamcatcher Framework.
