I'm bumping this thread because of the post by Charmin in the "2020 Dem POTUS candidate catch all discussion thread" as follows:
The bolded part of Charmin's post above is my doing - and I think fits right into this thread.
I've listened just to a small portion of the linked podcast but will listen to it in it's entirety as soon as I can.
To be honest, I don't know how our system can be fixed with so many people entrenched in the financial gains aspect of it, but who knows. I'm always willing to listen.
I've been waiting for the Ezra Klein interview with Buttigieg, since these interviews always dive deep into the details. This was no different, and IMO it answered the question, "what would be your very first priority in office." Structural and democratic reform, which would be my answer as well, and then talked about the details of what that means for a long time. While everyone else is throwing grand policy ideas into the winds, Buttigieg and Warren are the only two making the argument that fixing the system is paramount, and that you can't keep trying to ram policy through the broken mechanism that is our current democracy.
