Friends on my side of the political aisle: if you oppose the death penalty then, theoretically, you oppose wishing death on another person. It’s inconsistent and weird to think it’s bad to wish death on someone who has committed murder but not on a politician you dislike. Quit it If you’re thinking, “but their policies kill people!” That’s why I used someone who has committed murder as an example. Tou can’t morally oppose the death penalty for someone who has committed homicide and gleefully cheer on the death of someone else because it’s about politics

I’d like to take a moment today to talk about why I love @ewarren and why I believe her ideas are critical to America’s future. It starts with saving capitalism. vox.com/2018/8/15/1768… .@ewarren’s Accountable Capitalism Act embraces corporate personhood to argue that it should entail moral and responsible behavior. In other words, if corporations are people under the law, they should have to follow similar guidelines of good behavior to the ones we do.
