I lived most of my life in deep poverty and intimately understand the dysfunction of our society’s social welfare benefits. I am running for Congress to create a prosperous America for every citizen. Please consider donating to help me challenge our elites

Putin is not just at war with Ukraine, but with the current international order. There are fair criticisms of the current global order's many issues, but forcing change under the threat of a nuclear missile will only usher in an even worse outcome for the globe. (3/3)

[Juan Paredes @Juan4Congress]

The war in Ukraine does not yet seem to have an end in the near future, but the climax is soon approaching as Putin begins to run out of options. We are probably at the highest risk of nuclear war since the Cuban Missile Crisis. We must take the nuclear threats seriously. (1/3)

[Juan Paredes @Juan4Congress]

However, we must not be paralyzed by them. Allowing Putin to force concessions using the threats of nuclear attacks would only succeed in making the world even more at risk of the use of nuclear weapons. It would be a precedent set that every autocrat would see value in. (2/3)

Ukraine-Russia Peace:

- Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people.

- Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake).

- Water supply to Crimea assured.

- Ukraine remains neutral.

I want to thank everyone who helped me in my campaign. It meant more to me than you know and as long as this country is plundered by corporate masters, I will continue fighting to improve this country. Nonetheless, removing Gimenez is still necessary, but my fight is not over.

Hey #florida #dems as an #independent disenfranchised from primaries, this would be my choice for District 28

[Juan Paredes @Juan4Congress]

The reality is this, nuclear energy is not necessary, it takes too long to build, requires an extremely large "state-like" apparatus for protection, costs too much, and produces far less energy. This is more insidious because it hinders real climate policy. 3/3

[Juan Paredes @Juan4Congress]

I was sent a clip from someone of the Breaking Points podcast talking about the climate bill. While I think the bill is very inadequate, I also took issue with the promotion of nuclear energy by @esaagar. The issue with nuclear is that it is far too late. 1/3

[Juan Paredes @Juan4Congress]

It takes a minimum of 10 years to complete a nuclear reactor, but an average of longer. Also, it would be a lot more expensive than other sources of green energy. A nuclear power plant costs at least 3x more than wind/solar while providing at least 3x less energy than both. 2/3

Paredes learned society optimizes itself in the accumulation of wealth, even at the expense of others and believes society must soon be changed for the better

Here is proof that the GOP is a dangerous political insurgency. The results speak for themselves. Congress voted on codifying same-sex marriage and contraception, 157 and 195 Republicans voted no respectively. At least 70% of Americans support "yes", this is what an insurgency is

[Juan Paredes @Juan4Congress]

@HecLuMenVal Hello, sorry for the confusion, I forgot to change this in my bio (which I have now done), but I am running in Florida's 28th District.

[Juan Paredes @Juan4Congress]

I am now a qualified candidate on the ballot. Remember, Gimenez voted to invalidate the votes in PA&AZ, this is tantamount to treason. It’s not just about voting against Gimenez, we can work together to take back our Republic from these lobbyists

What an abysmal take, this is projection. It is clear the person either misdirecting or ignorant of market dynamics is you. Look at this BIS report investigating inflation, it is about 15 pages and will give you a decent understanding of this inflation.

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

Ouch. Inflation is far too important a problem for the White House to keep making statements like this. It’s either straight ahead misdirection or a deep misunderstanding of basic market dynamics.

[Juan Paredes @Juan4Congress]

We must win in the 2022 Midterms, the stakes were already so high, but now, with Roe v Wade officially overturned, it has increased by orders of magnitude. We must codify women’s rights to choose through congress. Then have a serious discussion of the current court’s legitimacy.

[Juan Paredes @Juan4Congress]

While I find many of the tweets about #TexasSecession rather amusing and funny, Texas cannot secede. Regardless of the results of any votes, the Union went to war over this argument and as the winner, the Union decided that secession is not legally possible, so it's theater.

[Juan Paredes @Juan4Congress]

Congrats to @petrogustavo for his victory in Colombia and I wish him great success in his goal to make Colombia a social democratic society, like you see in most of Western Europe. I am happy for the people of Colombia for this monumental win!

[Juan Paredes @Juan4Congress]

I am doing an AMA on Reddit today, if you want to know more about me, this is your best chance!

[Juan Paredes @Juan4Congress]

@alberto_bin Thank you! 😊

[Juan Paredes @Juan4Congress]

I walked up to a group of people to get some petition signatures.

In the introduction I say that I am running against Carlos Gimenez and the whole group instantly wanted to sign 😂.

You gotta love to see it, so I had to share it.

[Juan Paredes @Juan4Congress]

@alberto_bin That's correct, I have already mailed the statement changing my district, I will be qualified soon after.
