Tell me you don't see it

Something has changed deep down in the informational structure of American society and frankly it feels like our political thinkers don’t want to acknowledge it so they constantly retreat to this idea it can be solved with snappier campaign slogans - better branding and it’s 1997 again.

Fundamentally, my ideal foreign policy vision is Brits & Americans & Frenchmen & Germans & Poles & Ukrainians and Japanese & Taiwanese & South Koreans & Australians and whoever else wants to join, all standing together, under arms if necessary, to declare that all people are and ought to be free.

In my eyes, the true litmus test for Dem candidates is "do you understand the structural issues we are facing?" If they don't anything else they stand for is an empty promise that will be dashed on the rocks by SCOTUS and hostile oligarchs. We need someone clear eyed and ready to fight for reform.
