Surprised? Please... hall of mirrors... Pirandello.... just more and more of it... you need a shovel. Trump back to Reagan and Nixon... and Agnew... what was wrong with Ike?
I’m new to your writings so I’m probably missing all the history and subtext. Thus, I’m not clear what you mean by more work to do. What work? Wham you say we can do THIS, what is THIS?
I may take a lot for granted and I can sometimes be too abstract or obtuse, which doesn’t really help anyone’s understanding so it’s not really my aim. Thanks for asking. I hope my answer helps.
By work, here I mean educating people for one reason or another. Some people literally work at getting people registered to vote. Educate and stay educated about everything in politics now to not be duped. Some are still trying to get us to be less sympathetic to Ukraine, Covid which still confounds the world. “Work” to stay positive and afloat as we try to bring the world out of war. We can do this? Oh my, Joe Biden says it all the time. Then he says, “there’s nothing we can’t do if we do it together.” Although I don’t mean to reference him always, THIS is get rid of the fascist influences, the authoritarian tendencies that are growing. Replacing them with a co operative attitude. Build our country back from Covid, go forward with getting of petroleum products. Try try try to meditate climate change. We are on fire and it’s the most pressing problem. It’s everyone’s problem and certain individuals need attention first.
My rhetoric is a bit like a cheer leader but it’s what I feel. If as individuals we can feel optimism as we go out, watch people run stop signs and even wobble drunk across the street we may be able to cope better. And if I’m not clear about that sentence, every time I go out, the roads can be difficult and I’m not in an urban area.
Thank you. I have had suggestions in the last presidential election that I passed onto the Arizona Democratic Party through several methods without even a response. I was actively working getting people registered and then out to vote. I’ve come to the conclusion that party leaders only want donations but no constructive help. Thus, I would like to see people work together outside the party to get things done. I have many ideas.
I understand that many voters have ideas and everyone thinks their ideas are great. May be I’m just doing the same. Even if true, I feel less motivated when the party doesn’t want to listen to the people and only wants the people to listen to them. The one response I have ever heard from friends is that the party will sometimes send out an e-mail that is supposed to poll the voters with questions to understand what the voters want. These devices are almost always poorly designed and alway request a donation.
Politics!!!
Here is one: we need some simple mottos. For example “SAVE YOUR DEMOCRACY. VOTE. “
Very well said and I generally agree. I used to stuff envelopes as a kid for the dems. So different a lifetime ago. I don’t know but know some people who work locally by me, to get people registered, they are very accessible and open but I hear what you’re saying and it’s the same complaint I’ve heard. All I can say is the Republican Party is far worse in every way.
I think, just be a person that’s ready to have a conversation. We get one vote for each seat. As I say, stay informed which you do. And as far as your ideas... well it’s exactly why I called my column, One Small Voice. It always makes me feel like I’ve taken the thoughts buzzing in my head and given them a place to go and leave me feeling “done” with that thought for now. It’s creative and expressive and I’d recommend you keep thinking and sharing in whatever way seems to work for you.
I find the constant money beg really cheesy too. As you say, politics! 👋
Excellent sum-up of what is going on and where we're at now...change is in the air. Thank you!
