(11,833 posts)As an admirer of Angela Davis (both her writings and the way she lives her life) I was kind of waiting to hear what she'd have to say about these primaries. The other day she gave an interview and her thoughts were remarkably similar to what I've been feeling too, and to what you're saying. I figure for me at least, that puts me in good company.
To me also, congressional elections and local and state elections and just the way we live our lives offline and the ways we treat ourselves and one another (even with differing views) - all those things are very important to me. I'm very encouraged by younger people's movement toward more inclusion and more progressivism. That's the way forward now and in the future. My November vote is very significant to me. Think globally, act locally. I know it's a bit trite but it's meaningful to me in the way I try and live. Thanks for your insightful post. Hope you enjoy a wonderful day.
