We all do need to lower our voices and really listen now that the attention is here.
I understand, unfortunately, that campaigning is about short, memorable sound bites. And the answers needed don't squeeze into them.
I am not sure I even expect him to come up with solutions now, upon reflection. I would be happy to hear him say that he thought he had a plan forward for everyone but that maybe he needs help on focusing on police brutality that furthers justice but also has the community most affected by it knowing that they are being seen, heard and represented. Bernie is a big idea person. They are asking for details. He needs a way to convert the big idea and break it down. It would be good if he worked with the community to do that.
I appreciate you pushing me into more thought.
