4:40 - A question is finally asked!
Most people are not in the middle maybe in your world. But in our world we are struggling to survive.
I listened to this podcast and am glad to see the video showing up. I found it a really actionable chunk of understanding. History, polarization, people's behavior and subjectcivity. I'm going to be sharing it a lot as it can help us perhaps move forward understanding where we're at...
AND VOTE VOTE VOTE! America is on OF THE PEOPLE, if THE PEOPLE let America know what THE PEOPLE WANT... PEOPLE, let the government know.
Overwhelm the polls, overwhelm the cheaters, overwhelm "the Russians", and any other threat to the system. If the people vote, it WILL send a message. Send that message!
November 2020 is critical to grounding America in what we want to be. If we don't, it's pretty clear that the government will just not listen to the people anymore...
Every vote counts this time.
The founders thought about the system being created without a thought for political parties, so I heard. If that's true, they would have thought we should elect the best members of society, a natural aristocracy, into political positions. Today, it's simply "Are you Democrat?" or "Are you Republican?" and that's about it. And Twitter doesn't seem to help much.... :(
