1/ To those who think a response to the corporate Dems' dominance of the system, the party duopoly etc is to sit out the election or vote third party, I'd like to give my thoughts: 1) You'll teach them nothing by not voting. It didn't teach them anything in '16 & it won't in '20.

2/ The way to respond is to beat them at the ballot box. Unglamourous, nitty gritty campaign work.Yet is was rigged at the presidential level, but w/ down-ballots we've had plenty of opportunity already & progressives haven't always shown up the way we might: Romanoff in CO etc.

3/ If we really want political power, then we have to be involved in politics - not just comment on its injustices from someplace above it all. Yes, it's dirty. That just means we have to get dirt under our fingernails & help the candidates who would fix it if they were in there.

But I'm not going to say what I think you want me to say so that you WILL like me. Whether or not we agree on everything shouldn't determine whether or not we "like" each other. This isn't high school.

The answer has to do with who's in the WH now. If he remains, we'll be severely limited in the changes we can effectuate over the next four years. This man will seriously limit the opportunities we now have, as limited as they have become.

They poured so many millions into McGrath's campaign, it was almost impossible to overcome. But look how close it was! That's my point. We've all been too influenced by a culture of instant gratification. Do you know how long abolition took, or women's suffrage, or civil rights?
