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.

Okay, so let’s say Biden wins. Then what? 8 more years of Obama-Biden centrism? They aren’t going to do anything to help us. Why would they? We’ve never given them a reason to. We always complain and moan and then vote for them anyway. They own us until we revolt.

Okay, so Biden wins. We begin the very next morning strongly articulating what we want. It will only take a very short time to know whether we're being taken seriously or just pandered to by a Biden administration. THEN we'll know what we need to know - whether to stay or leave.

I hear you, but not voting is not going to “teach them a lesson.” If that were the case they would’ve learned it last time. Right now we have nothing short of a fascist threat on our hands. To me, defeating Trump has to come first.The morning after, I respect whatever you decide.
