Wow. I think I’m first. I had hoped that life and democracy would improve after the last election. Alas, it has only become worse.

Surely the former (life) has improved; and as to the latter I find it immensely reassuring (from a distance) that you now have a President who is rational and committed to doing right.

Yes, both you note are wonderful

Don’t give up. Partly it is that we are more aware. A good thing.

I think things are improving, but the wheels of democracy grind exceedingly slow. I think we may see a reversion to R control of House and/or Senate in 2022, but those people in the mushy middle are beginning to wake up, which gives me hope for 2024. The 14% figure is very hopeful; we can afford to simply give up on them and focus our attentions on those who consider themselves independent, which is precisely what it seems to me Biden is doing. He is making life better for the average person and demonstrating what a functional, adult U.S. government can accomplish. Hopefully, it will have the salutary effect we are hoping for.

We must keep our eyes on the ball preparatory to our next "at bat" in 2022 and not count on a ninth inning rally in 2024. Play Ball!
