In a word - we've got trouble, big time. They've got a 40-year lead on us.
Nancy is very good and thorough. She puts to rest any question about whether we're striving to save our democracy. I feel that our goal is that articulated by Frances Perkins last century: "The people are what matter to government, and a government should aim to provide all the people undere its jurisdiction the best possible life." And, add to that Albert Einstein's theory of government: "I am an adherent of the ideal of democracy , although I well know the weaknesses of the democratic form of government. Social equality and economic protection of the individual appeared to me always as the important ommunal aims of the state." We're at war with those who want a white Christian oligarchical autocracy.
