There’s something liberating about being forced to give up any illusion that a system is working. It makes the total articulation of something new seem reasonable, because it is.

Almost 50 years of normalizing killing life will go down in history as another American atrocity that we overcame. There is hope for humanity.

The illusion is that those in politics are there for noble reasons.

This is why we have to break down our dysfunctional duopoly, and it starts with election reform like RCV and Nonpartisan Open Primaries. @Fwd_Party is that something new, and I hope you are willing to lend your energy to the cause!

The system works quite well... you just don't like that the system doesn't bow to your wishes.

Yeah, but, like Born Agains telling me "the good news" and communists selling me that "democratic socialism" or "empathy" is progressive, usually the "articulation of something new" turns out to be some same old bullshit.

Why are these claims always so obscure and utterly devoid of any facts or specifics? Because if they had any, they could be instantly dismissed as unmoored and delusional.
