I am not relying much on US newspapers anymore. So trying to get a sense of the country not filtered through their fine mesh screen that takes out everything that might piss off the type of upper middle class people they cater to.
I don't give a shit about Hunter one way or another--and I think Joe Biden is at least as much of an indication of US pathology as Trump, if a more subtle case study (the lying, harmful 'moderate').
Ro - thank you and well said. I hope I can meet your expectations. My commitment is to maintain a sense of justice and honesty about these things. I certainly have my political leanings, but I’ve never let those interfere with the dire need to uphold justice in all matters, especially when it’s against people that you might otherwise agree with on other issues. I also tried to prioritize calls to action in my work, so it isn’t just a question of pointing out what’s wrong but also building towards what is right.
Yes, it's very helpful for someone like me! I am more of a 'why WHY?' person. I will protest but I am more of a hermit who reads 10 books, and even then I doubt myself, and read 10 more. I am not good at conceptualizing political action. Yes, I write my representatives or protest. But I have no skills in that vein. So I try to find the people with good values that are, like you, and listen to their ideas for more concrete solutions, and try to add my support.

This is all so meaningless and shameful!
