Of course it didn't really make the news in the US, but I gave an interview on AlJezeria. I marched in DC and in SF and wrote and called and begged and screamed; but it made no difference, so don't feel too guilty; you would have been ignored too.

My remorse was that I didn't hop on a plane and go to Miami when they were stopping the vote count. What I could have done I have no idea; but I still feel guilty that I wasn't there.
