Love this energy. GenXer here. We don’t have to agree on all the policy particulars but corporate capture of democracy has paved the way for our current crisis and the legacy Dems are complicit.
Wow! You’ve just hi the nail on the head with a sledgehammer! The Republican Party is bound to shatter, after having been captured by, and capitulating to MAGA, and, eventually someone will try to pick up the pieces of our destroyed republic. The Democrats have shown themselves too meek to be a threat to the evil of the day, and are, as you say, complicit in the sacking of the country through political privilege.
We must reclaim our country. At 81, I don’t have a great deal if b physical might to offer, nor do I have much more time left to spend regretting this horrendous fall, but I’m prepared to fight with, and work with the people for the saving of our world.
All well and good. But we will be labeled as the opposite. We will be labeled the bad guys. Are you ready for such a fight? And who will take up the leadership of such a movement. You have to go all the way back to 1776. When they put their names on the Declaration of Independence, who wad the biggest name on that document? John Hancock, that's who. He had the balls to say I believe in what I say. Hey Britain if you want me come get me. You know where I live. We need committed people who believe in freedom, who believe in democracy, who believe in We The People. Unless we get our collective act together now, because tomorrow will be too late. Rump is solidifying his power. Soon he will be unstoppable and we will all pay the price. Unfortunately I do not see the young generation the 18 through 25 stepping up. They are too busy with their nose buried in their phones and computer to understand what is at stake. By the time they become aware it will betoo late. It will take millions of Americans will to do whatever it takes to get this done. I do not see it happening. Unless America gets its head out of its ass it is all over but for the tears.
Wonderful take
🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm well aware of how you feel about my politics George, but what would you do differently exactly?
