Different sets of #1 problems

[ck4829]

We've got a growing crisis in America...

We've got one America where your #1 problem may be:
* What's going to happen to my healthcare?
* What's going to happen to my social security?
* Why am I working harder and getting less?
* What am I going to do about rent, tuition, bills?

And we've got another America where your #1 problem may be:
* Why do I have to press 1 for English?!
* Why did that person say 'Happy Holidays' to me?!
* Why are people not being nice enough to neo-Nazis?!
* Why did they ban the guy who said school shootings are done by actors?!

I'm in the first set. Not everyone in that first set is part of that second set. The status quo doesn't want us to talk about the first set, the second set is funny, it's not real.

It's also not sustainable for our country. People want to talk about division, this is it, right here.

Republicans keep the house, then set 2 is going to be talked about a lot more, while set 1 will be discounted more and more.

But hey, who cares about us set 1 people though, right? The Dow is doing just fine!

1. I see something quite different

I see a renaissance of yearning for basic decency and integrity in good government. I see many Dem politicians not falling into the trap of demonizing different-looking Americans. I feel a great yearning for predictability, less chaos, more good decisions to address our problems. I see rays of sunshine, not dark clouds of fear and hopelessness. That's what I see.
