I listened to Rev. William Barber yesterday giving his opening for Bernie in Ashville, NC yesterday, and I think people like him are what we are missing. We need charismatic black preachers to lead our movement like Dr. King. We need millions of us in the streets often. We need a general strike which will not happen until the pain is unbearable. We need US, the people, to believe it matters.
I am floored over and over again talking to 40 somethings. They don't think it matters who is in office. They laugh at me and ask why I am putting myself through the torture of thinking I can change anything. I walk away scratching my head wondering the same thing. Am I wasting my last few years on this planet banging my head against a wall?
