Flint reveals that there is a much deeper contamination poisoning our country's political morals: namely, an insidious right-wing belief that poor people (particularly people of color who are poor) are underserving moochers whose misfortunes can be ignored.

When we decide whether to vote or not, and for whom we will cast that ballot, we better think very deeply about the America in which we want to live going into the future.

In short, “the real world we’re living in” right now won’t allow fundamental change of the sort we need. It takes a movement.

If we continue to ignore the hunger, poverty and desperate families and communities of our young, we guarantee there will be a huge, violent population plagued by crime, drug addiction and high incarceration rates. If we save the children, we save society.

We can't wait around for a 19th-century recovery. We need a new paradigm. We need guaranteed jobs.

The Post attacks Sanders for failing to have a “plausible” plan for plugging looming deficits as the American population ages.

In severity of health damage, media staying power, and political indefensibility, the Flint, MI lead poisoning looms as a national turning point.

“What we’re seeing is a clear indication that, when properly motivated and energized, the formidable power of the American people can go up against the mighty power brokers that currently control this government and they can prevail.”
