I only let myself go there for an hour a day, maybe two. Anything else and you start to spiral down. It takes a lot of emotional discipline to get through all this, doesn’t it? Truth be told, it’s going to make us much stronger people.

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable." - JFK. A peaceful revolution IS a revolution. A violent one is simply chaos and catastrophe.

The big question imo is - revolt how? The peaceful revolution of trying to reform existing institutions from within has failed. Combative revolutions usually end up badly. We need a new strategy.

Given how few have voted, we can’t really say the peaceful political revolution has failed. We haven’t really waged it yet.

He’d have to invite me. You don’t just get to call him up and say “Hey Bill, have me on!”

It’s a shame you never got the coverage you should have, you were a much better candidate than you were ever given credit for.
