Not even kidding…every word you wrote I could have. My 84-year old dad hiked for the first time in decades. Worked for the Forest Service for 37 years, but never had been to Yosemite before. Couldn’t wipe the smile off of his face!

Unpopular opinion…but…if you’re going to have the death penalty, this is probably the most humane way of doing it. Death by sharpshooter to the heart is about as instant as you can get. Far better than writhing with your veins on fire for 10 minutes.

The lack of bathrooms in C Concourse at Mitchell International.

Underrated favorite is Theodore Roosevelt NP; overall Glacier Bay & Denali. Zion, too, but everyone says that. Death Valley is amazing too. Yosemite as well. So much to explore!

Sure, it’s New River Gorge, but which one are you missing? New here but I’m assuming it’s American Samoa? We started our quest in 2018, and are at 28 right now. Would also like to get to all 63.

If only someone could’ve prevented this scenario. 🙄

*One other thing to consider:
While you may not watch much commercial television, swing voters do. You need to reach them if you’re going to make any national electoral inroads again.

So this is a contradiction. You aren’t unhappy with 44, 46 or VP, but many to the left of you are - and yes, they did stay home. THAT’S the progressive purity I’m talking about. Fact is, you need both. But running candidates from the very progressive left only assures your electoral defeat.

So that part is just incorrect. More Americans identify as Independent than ever before. You need the left, obviously, but if you continue to bleed the center independents, you’ll never win another national election again.

Just some unsolicited advice from your friendly swing state centrist. ✌️

The other part is that the left has to understand that getting some is better than getting none. The right will vote their interests, so why won’t the left? Insisting on progressive purity (or else!) only loses you elections. And then you get nothing instead of something.

It didn’t move the needle because the messaging was terrible. The View interview was a disaster. The inmate gender reassignment clip was pounded in swing states. Is that the most important issue? Obviously not. But it got HAMMERED home every minute of every day. Win the center back=win elections.
