1/The biggest failure of both our politics & media is that most news analysis is kept on the surface, always dealing with symptom & rarely dealing with cause. It's always talking about the house yet rarely addresses the health of its foundation. In fact the foundation is rotting

2/ If your democracy is under attack, your house is rotting. If your economy is unjust, your house is rotting. If your food and environmental policies literally cause people to be ill, your house is rotting. If your citizens are duped into not seeing this, your house is rotting.

3/ But every problem comes bearing its own solution. It's in the midst of how bad all this is that the miracle is born. People are waking up. People are seeing the rot. People are asking themselves, "Why are we putting up with this?" And from that the necessary changes will come.

The only thing missing from your spot-on three part tweet is a proper ending: vote third party. I have a feeling you will get there eventually. It’s the only logical conclusion.

No it's not the only logical conclusion, not yet. First we have to defeat Trump, then we can appraise the situation.

Out of curiosity, who are these people who are waking up?

The millions of Americans who have been culturally tranquilized to somehow not notice that the pillars of American democracy are being chipped away at, removed right in front of our eyes.

I don’t think Trump is the issue. He didn’t create GMO’s, give immunity to vaccine companies, lie us into wars, look the other way on torture( Pelosi) or give the ports to China to get around slavery.

Seeing the rot ... whether it's in us ... our house ... or our government ... is the first big step ... seeing it begins the change ...

Have you seen the masses reclaiming the restaurants and beaches like vermin? The rot is alive and well.
Replying to @marwilliamson

Logic and reason will not prevail. And we need more than hopes, wishes and dreams or even a dawning of awareness. We need the knowledge, ability, confidence and self-discipline to develop and organize ourselves sustainably. Please call me if you need help doing this.

Sooner the better. Why has it taken so long?
