Problem is, Fern, too many citizens couldn't give a hoot about being politically active. They are too self-involved to care about others and what the effect policies and rulings have on all of us.

Problem is, Fern, too many citizens couldn't give a hoot about being politically active. They are too self-involved to care about others and what the effect policies and rulings have on all of us. Many, I've heard, are so disinterested they haven't even been watching or reading about the Jan. 6 hearings. Ostriches with their heads in the sand, they're more concerned about inflation and the price of gasoline.
Mim, Your response indicates the true 'elephant' in the room. It's the American people, but I would not settle on that. Perhaps, it is a 'lazy' way out. Let's not rest on that premise.
Eyes need to be opened. Rights are being being stripped, free and fair elections are in serious jeopardy...Earth is Endangered: 'There are now 41,415 species on the IUCN Red List, and 16,306 of them are endangered species threatened with extinction. This is up from 16,118 last year. This includes both endangered animals and endangered plants. The species endangered include one in four mammals, one in eight birds, one third of all amphibians and 70% of the world’s assessed plants on the 2007 IUCN Red List are in jeopardy of extinction'.
All Americans, whether they care about the survival of earth, plants, animals, the air, the water, each other, Democracy … are in terrible trouble. Eyes, minds and hearts need to be opened.
Fern, as a supporter of environmental organizations for many, many decades, I know the peril species are in, but just this week Biden has broached the possibility of offshore drilling again, which would endanger species, including our own, because the world is doing nowhere near enough to get a handle on climate control. We should have had "sapiens" taken out of our binomial name a long time ago.
You mean if Biden chooses not to run in '24? I'd love it to be Stacey Abrams. We just got one very smart black woman elevated to SCOTUS. Why can't we have another as POTUS?
Please, please think positive! If you or your friends can, contribute to or volunteer to help her campaign.
Same with Warnock. It is sickening to think that his race against Walker is so close. Of course, polls are not to be entirely trusted, but still...Walker has agreed to at least one debate in the fall. That should be interesting.
Mim, I'm hardnose strategic. I do contribute and think Warnock may win his. I don't dream in politics as I do while sleeping. Check out Chair of the Democratic Governors Assoc. Roy Cooper (gov. of NC). Politico covers him.
I don't suppose it has anything to do with the oligarchy sqeezing blood out of us ex-middle class turnips? When one has to consentrate so much of ones energy one finding the next meal, politics loses priority.
That's a good part of the problem, Susan, but it's also disinterest and apathy, which is nothing new, sadly, but overcoming that is more important now than it has ever been. I just don't know if the Democrats have the tools to do it. Controlling the narrative would be key, but they cannot get their talking points together so that everyone speaks to media in the same voice, as the Republicans do with great skill.

Mim, who can be the presidential candidate... another potentially lethal weakness?

My slate is still blank. I don't think she'll win the election against Kemp.
