There’s a difference between being realistic and being pessimistic. We can realistically acknowledge circumstances as they are yet still leave space in our minds for the possibility that people will change and grow, particularly in the presence of moral persuasion.

*Right now* (end of year) is a crucial time to make sure all progressives are aware: 2021 state and local elections are hugely important to win and gain more leverage! Filing periods are coming very soon so consider running, encourage and support those who do! Please RT/follow

People who change and grow in the presence of moral persuasion actually possess a moral compass. The past records of Biden/Harris shows that neither of these individuals has one. Sad, but true--and realistic.

How long do we give Biden for change? 1 month? 2 month or more? He's shown us 47 yrs who he is. Im with Maya Angelou on this one : When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time

As I've already said ... we need to ... "Clone Marianne" ... and send her to all fifty states ... and ... Educate the Public ... in what Democracy means ... since the birth of this nation ... and ... in the 21st Century!

You're talking about Biden? The man with a 47 year political history of racism, warmongering, corporate shillery, sexual harassment and lying? That's the person you think will "grow and change"?

Problem is when possibilities are used in an improper manner it becomes self hypnosis and a shared delusion among ardent followers.

How do you persuade someone who clearly has forfeited morals in favor of avarice?

Democrats are absolute masters of political pyrrhic victories. Great at looking morally superior and having a lot of talking points for half a day on network news while losing every single speck of ground that actually matters in real life.
