European countries like Denmark & Germany having a much more sophisticated, enlightened economic conversation than we are. We’re led by political dinosaurs trying to figure out how best to shore up capitalism-as-usual, when what we need is the will & imagination to reinvent it.

What Paul Tillich called "a theology of ultimate concern." Reopen the road not taken after the Kennedys; holding in common "a deep all-consuming desire to renew the nation by holding it to the highest values of its creed." Robert Inchausti of Thomas Merton.

Seems to me the only way to accomplish that is if we get big money donors out of politics. How do we do that?

Was just on the phone w/my MIL. She’s fanatically right-wing, but said the 1st nice thing I’ve ever heard her say re Dems: “I think they’re trying harder to help people.” & she has definitely turned on DJT. There’s an opening with those getting quality news. My sis? Not so much.
