Thereās so much going on that we donāt hear enough about. Scary.

Before 2015 this would easily be disqualifying, regardless of political affiliation. Today, itās simply called āSundayāā¦

Agreed. But unfortunately that would require some integrity ā virtually nonexistent in this administration š«¤

Yes, his bid to become a beloved public messiah appears to be failing. But I fear stepping out of the spotlight wonāt prevent his behind the scenes manipulation of 47. After all, he did purchase the office.

Hopeful that the current law suits challenging this authoritarian bullshit are successful.

Although I will acknowledge that Schumer has been in a tough position, I agree 100% that new leadership is desperately needed.

I received my transplant in September 2024, so Iām about four months in. The first three months have been perfect, but slowed down a bit overdoing it over the holidays, picked up a small virus thatās taking me forever to kick. I definitely need to remind myself to take it easy!

As a kid from GA, my first lesson in political disappointment was Jimmyās loss to Reagan. I have since held every president up against his legacy ā and none have come close to matching his integrity, kindness, and humanity.
RIP, Mr. President š¢

Yes, āchange agentsā doesnāt always seem appropriate. Easy to list all things we havenāt yet accomplishedā¦but it sound like youāre experienced enough to recognize how far weāve come on certain fronts (as youāve mentioned yourself;)
Wholesale change is just so so rare in national politics.

I get your frustrations, truly. But please donāt assume my stance is borne out of ignorance. I have not āturned on a cable boxā for over a decade. Seeking reputable sources and applying rigorous critical evaluation is largely what I do. I do appreciate your views ā shared it on and off for years!

I think what doesnāt help is shouting criticisms at the only change agents weāve got. And when the other side is full on fascism, itās imperative that opposition coalesces and presents a united front.

But when youāre trying to turn a ship this big, institutional inertia is real. As frustrating as it is, changing course takes incremental wins, striking where we can, when we can.

1st, no disrespect taken whatsoever ā healthy discourse like this is what separates us from the simple minded cretins (that unfortunately decide elections).
2nd, I donāt disagree with a single point, Sally (nor you, Jeff). āAll politics is localā (Tip OāNeill)ā¦
Itās starts with backyard battles!
comment in response to
post
But in my experience, the āboth sides are corruptā attitude is largely how we find ourselves in a second Trump termā¦sometimes we must throw our support behind imperfect candidates.
comment in response to
post
Of course, no one is suggesting (well Iām not) sheās some kind of savior candidate. But do you honestly think refusing money would give a presidential candidate a chance to win? Or if winning isnāt the goal, then what?
Iām not disagreeing with youā¦corrupt systems elicit corrupt candidatesā¦.

I tend to agreeā¦but hopefully establishment Ds recognize these different times and are willing to do more than just explore more aggressive change.

Also, to suggest Harris has relied on large donors to the same extent as T ā or Ds as Rs in general ā is preposterous. Campaign finance reform is crucial for leveling the playing field.

Thatās just it. I want to laugh at what is sure to be a hilarious breakup, but weāll be at great peril ā like being in the room with two squabbling toddlers armed with assault rifles.

Thanks for this, Goddessā¦Iāve only just skimmed through some of it. It seems there is certainly a lot of support for investigating the election, but are you aware of any āofficialā actions taken by the Harris campaign or LE? Itās just alarming that we havenāt heard much aside from our own grumblings
