This week, many of us are spending time thinking about the idea of
America.

What is our experience of America today? What is the America we want to
be? And, how can we -- together -- get from where we are now to where we
want to be?

In early June, Farhad Manjoo published a beautiful opinion piece in the
New York Times titled “I Want to Live in Elizabeth Warren’s America.”

Below we’ve pulled some of our favorite excerpts from Manjoo’s piece. Can
you take a few minutes to read it -- and ask yourself: [ [link removed] ]Do you want to
live in Elizabeth Warren’s America, too?

Warren’s approach is ambitious and unconventional. She is betting on depth
in a shallow, tweet-driven world. By offering so much honest detail so
early, she risks turning off key constituencies, alienating donors and
muddying the gauzy visionary branding that is the fuel for so much early
horse-race coverage.

She offers a plausible theory of the problem and a creative and
comprehensive vision for how to address it.

She has a $2 trillion plan that combines industrial policy,

existential threat of climate change.
She also has a plan for housing affordability, for child care
[ [link removed] ]checkmark affordability, student debt and the crushing costs of
college.
[ [link removed] ]checkmark She knows what she wants to do to stem opioid deaths and to
address maternal mortality.
She has an entire wing of policy devoted to corporate
malfeasance — she wants to jail lawbreaking executives, to
[ [link removed] ]checkmark undo the corporate influence that shapes military
procurement, and to end the scandal of highly profitable
corporations paying no federal taxes.

And she has a plan to pay for much on this list, which might otherwise
seem like a grab-bag of expensive lefty dreams: She’ll tax
ultra-millionaires and billionaires — the wealthiest 75,000 American
households — yielding $2.75 trillion over 10 years, enough to finance a
wholesale reformation of the American dream.

Do YOU want to live in Elizabeth Warren’s America?

Thanks for being a bold progressive.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told PCCC members, "The majority of Americans are with us on the policies. Americans support Medicare for All, expanding Social Security benefits, gun reform, debt-free college, and a $15 minimum wage. Bold progressive values are popular EVERYWHERE. Together, we have the people. Together, with your help, we’ll have the votes." Chip in $3 here: [link removed]
