I agree with that - but I think if a lot of people who did see through it had worked harder, that would have made a difference.

Still it’s our job to do, and if we’d been doing it more fervently all along then we wouldn’t be in the situation we’re in now.

Way too many people left electoral politics to others. You can’t blame the media or even gerrymandering etc. entirely for that.

Sometimes I think we're led by sociopaths projecting their lack of humanity onto the world. Then I think they're just stunted children who are in way over their heads and have no idea how to be adults. Then I think it's our fault for electing them. Then I remember all 3 are true.

Then people are going to have to do the nitty gritty unglamorous work of supporting the candidates who represent that. Too many on the Left want to whine, bitch, analyze & post - but not do the banal work it will take to overcome a corporate-backed system & build political power

Not true. Such revisionist history perpetuates the very kind of thinking that led to it. It was an illegal war for which those responsible should be held accountable if even only in our memories, lest we fail to learn from our mistakes & allow such criminal wrongdoing ever again.

Only not a rallying cry among those who don’t want to do the nitty gritty work of actually volunteering & winning Congressional and Senatorial campaigns. The candidates who would turn all this around are out there, often unsupported by the those who say they most want the change.

Oh my God, Elizabeth. From my mother’s heart to yours, I rejoice with you. My late sister was named Jane. I’m thrilled your daughter is safe and sound.
