32. "... standing up for what is right" says it all.

My frustration has been watching what seemed like tortured political calculation when I'm not convinced any political genius could diagram this cluster and get it except by nearly random chance. Uncharted territory. Unprecedented. All those words we live with daily.

We have leaders on both sides not acting until they feel assured of an outcome, though McConnell's calculations are sinister and ours aren't. But I always thought the process would bring people along if - and because - we have right on our side. And if in the end it didn't, we'd still be doing what is right. And doing what's right doesn't seem like such a massive gamble to me.
