Good Morning fellow followers of rational thought

We may have our ups and downs as Democrats, Liberals, Progressives and left leaning Independents..but the one thing we ALL are at the end of the trail .. are rational thinkers..

What is best for the country.. for the future.. we look outside of ourselves for more than a heartbeat to see what we can do for the betterment of us all.

I know this sounds sort of self congratulatory.. and in a sense it is.. but sometimes you have to stop and take stock of the good things you have and not just our faults..

We are on the precipice of saving the country from 20 more years of a locked down supreme court that could overturn so many of our stated values.. that ALL are created equally and should have an equal chance at living the best life each of us can do..

There will be bumps along the way to November that will have us all up in arms I am sure..that is just he nature of life.. but I feel very good about where we are as rational thinkers .. very good

We need to keep looking at the things we share rather than our differences. In the end a more liberal Supreme Court benefits everyone here! Thanks for a great post!

Listening to the morning talk shows.. and contemplating that shameful vote yesterday on gun control.. so much unites us.. our hopes for the future.. there really is such a difference in our approach to goverment..or understanding goverment is about people..

I want rational Progressive Populist Reform because our current system has been distorted beyond rationality.

I support reform in the Democratic Party that will reduce its obligations and loyalty to Wall St. and the abusive monopolistic elites who are running Corporate America, and who own too many politicians and branches of government.
