That depends on who you are. This country says yes to a lot of people -I know because it has said yes to me. The problem is that it says yes to a shrinking number of people, and no to an increasing number of people. So we need to turn that around.

It’s yin and yang. Conservatives remind progressives that individuals must be held accountable, and progressives remind conservatives that systems must be held accountable. Both are true.
