Clif, I think I listened to one episode of it. I really like/liked "The Lever," and I think Sirota and Singh do a great job, but every post is just another example of the same problem: how money corrupts political functioning and this country. I already know that. Of course, "The Lever" is reporting, and it's not their job to make anything change (clearly, they want it to) but I need change. It doesn't do me any good to know that I have accurately identified the problem. And then, you get a president like Biden, who keeps backing Netanyahu, immediately after which he attends an AIPAC event, and an alternative choice like Harris, who says she wouldn't do anything different, and it's all very defeating and deflating. Maybe the young'uns will do something right, but I won't live that long.
No disagreement here, Fred, but I have to be able to both sleep at night and act for the good of my six grandkids who have no idea what they are in for. It's lonely standing out on the street with my signs promoting liberty and justice for all and being against Zionism, the exact opposite of what our Pledge of Allegiance asks us to be about. The craze for huge gasoline powered vehicles when global warming is advancing is yet another reason to despair about Americans being oblivious to what is going on, but I have to try. I will not be on the edge of my seat on Tuesday night as neither Harris or Trump represents the America that I do. I understand your view.
