Van Jones
That we could live in a country with no rules for the rich, no rights for the poor, and no middle class to speak of, is wrong it's a crime against the next generation and we've got to do something about it.
Van Jones
The problem is that we didn't fight the way we should've fought. We made it be about [Donald Trump] and [Hillary Clinton] as opposed to making it be about us. If we had said this was a fight, not about I'm with Her but I'm with Us then maybe we would've had a different attitude toward her.
