If I post about a problem, I might not know the solution

I am not a political operative or an expert on campaigns and elections.

I might have some ideas, and I would offer them if so.

But that doesn't mean I shouldn't cry out about Trump dismantling mail in voting or GOP States having massive suppression. Or the Trump Administration and the GOP running a completely unconstitutional Government.

I can do what I can and support those that can have an effective response.

There is also room for discussion here from others for solutions.

But if I can only respond to "What are you going to do about it" with "I don't know" shouldn't preempt me from posting about the problems.

Recognizing the problems is a first and necessary step.

It’s frustrating to see all this unfolding and not know what’s happening behind the scenes to try to thwart the bad stuff.

Not being able to put out a fire yourself should never keep you from pulling the alarm.
