That's one way to look at it, I suppose. I perceive it as engineered division where Americans were deprived of social cohesion in order to create an amorphous mass of disempowered individuals, not posing a threat

Well said @marwilliamson We need more discussion on First Principles

I agree with everything except "God gave..."

Such emotional and analytical intelligence and perception, Marianne……

-we're obviously not a nation where "all are created equal" when 1/2 the nation's bodily autonomy were so readily disposed of by the rabid right & the well-planned theological take-over of SCOTUS -we have become a backward & barbaric country

instead of saying 'moral force' at the end, you should say 'purpose' . saying things like 'moral force' makes it sound like you are an astrology fortune teller. 'purpose' is a much stronger and meaningful word that everyone understands.

Thank you for saying that! Great speech. We need more of that passion and eloquence from Democrats on TV

This has been a problem ever since America was founded , we have no culture , and our history is based on lies , made up stories with real stuff mixed in , this didn’t just start , it’s been this way & only gets worse the more illegal immigrants they let in
