It sucks, but we need a functioning democracy if we want to make progress.

Make sure your mask is secure before helping others.

I think the trajectory of things are generally positive, but glacially slow, especially considering all the harm that gets perpetuated while waiting for that slow progress.

I think that can be gut wretchingly frustrating for the newly radicalized. So I sympathize with the people who say it's abhorrent and not enough. Because it is abhorrent. And it's not enough. But we must be pragmatic in our actions. America simply doesn't have the class consciousness necessary for sweeping overnight change, yet.
