Hey Ray. Are you sure you wanna write all this down here in public? Can you imagine what will happen if people start actually blowing up pipelines and SUVs? Given the current state of affairs in the United States? There will be small skirmishes between, like patriot front and whoever and toxic masculine Texans and activists and overall chaos. I don’t know.

I actually have met many of the congressional Democrats and of course we have some very good ones. Whitehouse, for example, who has written about dark money in politics. We have the entire progressive squad. I think we have more and more progressives everywhere. And we have a younger generation that is counting on us to hand them some kind of governmental system that perhaps they can participate in even as they navigate climate collapse. I don’t think the Democrats are quite as bad as people say. And some of them are probably very very bad. The older ones. The ones who feel so comfortable in their jobs & who have been in bed with $$$ & lobbyists 4 some time.

I suppose don’t separate politicians out from the rest of the population as much anymore. We all live in this house. We need to somehow prevent the fire that is already burning here from burning the whole thing down. I think it is possible to work with the Democrats, or at least some of them. But right: They are certainly not taking the kind of radical stand that is needed now in the face of climate change. Except for the Progressives.

I could be wrong about everything. But this is how I feel. Cheers!
