re: #63 Interesting Times

I’m very familiar with their justifications and flirted with it for a bit. Katrina was a huge reason (not the only) why I permanently left that thinking behind. It is so doggone clear which party knows how to govern and knows why it’s necessary.
Finding pragmatism in service of progress healthy makes so much sense to me for so many reasons. As a human in modern day America with certain core values, it really isn’t a hard decision. As a WOC it is more urgent to empower the ‘now+’. We deal with what we have now, plus we keep pushing ‘the arc of justice forward’.

I’m also very suspect of Stein and Bern given how much they haven’t addressed the gigantic red elephant in the room. And some of their circle flatout dismiss it which is just as insane as the GOP that they don’t seem to beef with as much as the Dems.
