To stand up for the most traditional pillars of American democracy - from freedom of speech to justice for our citizens to electoral integrity - is to risk being labeled a left wing extremist. The biggest challenge in America today is to avoid the temptation to simply give up.

I specifically needed to hear that last sentence today and I thank you for being a person who spreads hope and reason.

That temptation is a huge challenge indeed. The vast majority of my personal circle with whom I've shared political dialogue for years has gone nearly silent since mid-March. I keep reminding myself of Don Johnson's worn quote from Miami Vice: "It ain't over till it's over."

@marwilliamson That temptation, is very real. I battle it daily.

Right - Left ? Stop it!!!! Stop vilifying the other. We need unity to salvage any remaining glimmer for democracy. Seek common ground - 1% vs 99 %
huh? I can point to one party that pushes for censorship and silencing across its entire platform. It ain't the conservatives lady. Seriously, you are very clueless to your party if you legitimately believe this.
