i don't accept guilt. i was aware, i was protesting, i was doing every thing i could. still do, it's less, i'm getting old, but still do.

i blame republicans, i blame out of control capitalism, roger ailes, richard nixon, republicans, republicans, republicans, corporate media's huge failure...all I would blame Democrats for is letting Nixon off the hook. If he'd been prosecuted, we would be in a very different place. Even if Reagan or one of the bushes had been, trump could not have happened. republicans are so, so bad. if I blame Democrats at all it's for ever assuming that republicans are operating in good faith. they simply never are.
