"When you're in times of crisis, you can either try to appeal to people by using fear and blame. Or you can tackle the issues that are genuinely affecting people's lives, and you can do it with a people-centered approach that has kindness and empathy and strength and courage and reslilience as well."

I would add:

11. Fully protected voting rights

The Liberal Consensus

The government should:
Regulate business
Provide a basic social safety net
Promoting infrastructure

"If all billionaires and mega corps paid the same amount of taxes that I pay -- a retired person living on a very small pension and it's about 22% to Federal taxes -- we could have universal healthcare, universal secondary and post-secondary education, accommodations and some sort of UBI for homeless people, and universal daycare and elder care."

Dropping this in as a statement of principle:

From @Fragglemuppet
"@RickiTarr Right. I mean after all, people say they want fair treatment for everyone. How's that, you want everyone to be fairly miserable? That's not the way! My desire is not that no one should have the good things I enjoy, but that everyone should. What are we fighting for, anyway?"

Edit: adding quotes to mark this as Fraggle's post, not mine.

Some guideposts & touchstones from #HeatherCoxRichardson

Everybody is created equal.
The government has a responsibility to protect that equality,
To make sure that everybody is treated equally before the law,
They have equal access to resources,
& they have a right to a say in their government.

The government has a role to play in:
Regulating business,
Providing a basic social safety net,
Promoting infrastructure,
& protecting civil rights. >

The government has a role to play in protecting the individual from:
• big business,
•from poverty,
• & from the things that will stop an individual from being able to make the best of her or his life.

The people have a right to consent to their government, & to have a say in it.

To do:
• Protect the right to vote.
• Get rid of gerrymandering.
• Protect the right to petition your government.

An composite of t-shirts I've seen at protests:

#TheWorldIWantToLiveIn

"Human rights are for everyone.

No, dignity is not conditional.

No, your worth is not decided by your gender, race, income, ability, identity, age, or beliefs.

No, justice should not be reserved for the privileged few.

No one is “less than.”

You are human. That alone is enough to deserve safety, respect, equality, and freedom.

Every person. Every place. Every time."
