Not civil war. Class war.

Yes. Sleep at night, any sort of stability really, is a very good thing. I am for things that help with that.

With LV on this. It’s been a class war since women and blacks were given the vote.
And it’s still a class war.

Rich white old guys from both parties v everyone else.

Hence the impossible black hole level density treacle stopping anything happening never mind reaching a middle ground. It’s fucked.

Dems need someone with real teeth and Fuck the networks bleeping them out the window.

Someone needs to come out and savage trump and his few remaining supports viciously and In a language trumps supporters can understand

Yeah but LV's attitude tends to throw away the good in quest of the perfect.

No. Perfect isn’t going to happen. I understand that. But we need to strive for perfect in order to achieve good.

Striving to never let a shit show President like this ever happen again would be a good place to start.

Fixing the damage this shit show has caused might take generations.

That’s if we make it out of it

Exactly. So if the Dems nominate a moderate, it's important to vote for that person even if they're not your first or second choice.

But relative to human history by virtually any metric things have been getting better over the past two hundred years and most dramatically in the past half century globally.

Still very, very far from perfect, there’s no doubt. But at a time when global poverty is falling at the fast rate ever, I don’t understand the urge to attempt to dramatically remake society on behalf of the poor.
