OK guys, enough with the “No matter what happens, you’ll elevate the conversation.” If I had a vote for every time someone says, “You’re the candidate I want, but America isn’t ready,” or “She’s the candidate I want,… instagram.com/p/B0M8bBlhIb9/…

“He is not just a politician; he’s a phenomenon. An insider politics game will not defeat him. The traditional political establishment lacks psychological and emotional perspicacity, and it will take that to win in 2020.” marianne2020.com/posts/maria…

On CNN today...
“Even though I might very much disagree with her about specific policies, he doesn’t get to pull that out. I’m a Jew. No I’m sorry Trump you don’t get to pull that out as your defense.” @marwilliamson reacts to Trump justifying attacks on Rep Omar over past comments about Israel

There are collective expressions of atonement and amends. In 1988 Ronald Reagan signed the American Civil Liberties act, giving every surviving member of the Japanese internment camps in WW2 $20,000. Few taxpayers in 1988 were responsible for what the US govt did in the 1940's.

Catholics living today didn't participate in the Inquisition, either! And this isn't about guilt, it's about responsibility. There are psychological and emotional scars that affect whole groups of people and in the 21st Century we have a deeper understanding of historical trauma.

Sure. But still, if a child can't read by the age of 8 then the chances of high school graduation are drastically decreased and the chance of incarceration are drastically increased. Certain minimums should be required in the richest nation on earth.
