Not that my cynicism will keep me from ranting and fighting the behemoth, but, alas, I feel it has all been bought and sold - just a charade left behind to make people feel they are participating - from the establishment down to “the squad”. The USA defending ”democracy” elsewhere with billions of dollars of weapons, while people here struggle, is just the latest chess game entertainment - a dangerous one. And as always your voice helps me push on through my dark perspective. Thank you.
