getting people to change?

not sure we exactly have time for that.

isn't that part of the charm of usonian's piece? eye-catching. drew us in. paid homage to a lineage of charismatic leaders who actually did cultivate meaningful social change. advocated for it in compelling ways. helped people respond to the better angels of their nature.

politicians - part of their job is to preach, to message. if they can't do that and in that way drum up support and votes, then I feel they are not doing their job.

I'm totally cool with people like you working to get out the vote. and i'm totally cool with people like me trying to get the message better and better-delivered so they feel like voting in the first place.

not an either/or in my point of view but more like a yes/and.

Thanks.
