Rick did you believe what you are saying about America before you left the GOP? I love what you’re saying, but utterly sad the GOP does not feel this way.
I feel chastised listening to this remarkable essay. Too often, especially here, I fall victim to doom speak; "we're really fucked and I don't know how we can ever pull out of this"; etc
I'm not a total slug, as I volunteer, knock on doors, etc. But I'm prone to cynicism; It's an Irish thing. I rail frequently at our party, voters who don't vote and especially our Styrofoam leaders.
Fact is, the Dem turnout this election should be massive, and I believe it will be.
Fact is, there ARE some good leaders; Mamdani is electric, whatever you think of his left leaning politics; Newsom has a little explaining to do about his unequivocal Israel support, but the man takes it right into Trump's kitchen.
AOC is still a little green for a place on a national ticket, but she's fearless, smart and should be paid attention to. Raskin, Lieu, Whitehouse, and several others. (No not you, Booker, Chuck or Hakeem)
