| Well, I understand the more authoritarian parts of the left more than I used to. Sometimes is seems like the situation has to be forced, but I also realize more now how much we have to be patient, because forcing things will end badly. We all need each other to make it work.
As far as the Democratic Party, I think a lot of people on the left see it as corrupt, but the only game in town. Right now, I just don't know what to do or where to turn. The last election brought me back to the place where I feel that elections are a diversion, and not any kind of a solution to problems. It's simply a choice between criminals who wish to act like gentlemen while they commit their crimes, or criminals who wish to act like criminals. |
