(89,898 posts)He described it as "how we take care of one another." Which just stopped me in my tracks. DAYUM! He even messaged it outstandingly! Put a MAJOR spin of compassion on it. Aimed straight at his listeners' consciences. And hit the bull's eye, in my opinion. YES that's how we need to present and message and spin stuff like this! Reach for the heart. I'd never heard the idea of affordable health care described that way, and I thought it was spectacular! Genius!
Perhaps that's a theme of his? Seems like it would cover all the items you've listed here, in one way or other. That mentality, recognizing that need, and those issues that are part of that need. The conscious and active awareness that we "take care of one another."
I do need to research more, because I'm really just starting to get to know him. But 2020 is awhile off, and there's time.
"It's how we take care of one another." What a unifying theme! One that appeals to our higher selves. And after exposure to the trump mentality and approach to things, seems to me this would be like manna from Heaven, or fresh cool rain to a desperately parched earth. DAYUM - that's a campaign slogan right there. "It's how we take care of one another."
Something of which I think we need to be reminded. Sure haven't heard anything summed up that way in a long time.
