I believe we are at an inflection point in history. A moment where it falls to us to prove that democracies will not just endure they will excel as we rise to seize the enormous opportunities of this new age.

It is just like old Europe before the "New World's Revolution," too many in this country prefer hating their neighbor to having a democracy.
Once again all the wealth and the political power are held by a few. . . Naturally it is all the fault of the Democratic not those poor dumbshit Republicans, so dumb they have now four times controlled the agenda of a
Democratic president,
Carter, Clinton, Obama and now Biden.

Those actively fighting progress are a minority. When they win, it's because the whiners and shirkers whose failure to stand for what they say they believe in shifts critical power to them.
As for this inflection point, because of enormous technological advances enabling the creation of much more for much less, we've never had such great opportunities to advance prosperity and wellbeing around the planet, and to free people from lives of unending labor just to exist. Before the pandemic setbacks, advances had already shrunk the numbers living in abject poverty to around 1% of humanity and the average lifespan was in the late 70s. (!) We've barely begun to do what we now have the capability of.
Eyes and feet on the road ahead.
