I notice the "Citizens Divided" effect of making politics a money war, and also "personality" and "identity" politics. People just lose sight of "what works" --- and antisocial media are a curse. Section 230 gives free reign to everything. But not everything? Yes, everything. It all gets through in sufficient quantities, like a toxin. A little goes a long way.

ONE possible good outcome is that thanks to all the destruction, there is opportunity to reinvent many things in a POSITIVE way.

We have led the leaders. (though not all of them) but it's the first step.

I post emails that I get from Indivisible and from Bernie Sanders for the benefit of all here. I stick them in Activist Headquarters and The Way Forward, where they're easier to find, but also in GD for visibility, however short that lasts and how buried it might be in search.

I grew up in the 60's.

Disheartened? These people never gave up when faced with enormous obstacles.

Share.

"It is failing because its true mission, which neither it nor (still less) its supporters understand..." Jim__ Oct 2025 #35
I guess so. To Yarvin et. al., a Nazi regime or technocracy is the goal. usonian Oct 2025 #36
It's failing because its true mission is based on boneheadedly simple-minded thinking which utterly ignores reality. eppur_se_muova Oct 2025 #40
