Empty symbolic stunts. That's what the Democrats do best. Why didn't Nancy Antoinette clap sideways when it was all over.

I appreciate all your other comments in this thread but this one in particular feels too extreme for me. Thanks, tho, for your article on Transform. It was very articulate.

Exactly right. It started with Ronald Reagan. He took a shredder to so many protections against greed and corruption, and opened the doors wide to polluters and ravaging nature, and kicked severely mentally ill into the streets. Californians remember the shame of him. Xlnt essay.

I appreciated the ceremony and the praises to democracy, especially after listening to my Republican friends tear it down and call it mob rule. That is separate from work that must be done to get the influence of money out of government. I too am disappointed by some in Congress

Marianne, your voice remains an incredibly vivid and incisive one in our thoroughly confused political world. ♥️ So grateful to be starting off another year with the blessing of a big truth bomb 🙌
