    Salient points.

    The mighty pendulum swings and our heads whip back and forth and back and forth!

    At the core, I'm with you: I truly have zero optimism for the country... Privately (now not privately), I think we live in a country fundamentally divided, and I think we will remain this way FOREVER. There are dueling ideologies separating us. Just look, for instance, at what it means to "be American." Some see protests and whatnot as American, whether they disagree or not. Others say "if you don't like it, get out!" This is one complicated place.

    another add illustrating trump's racism and misogyny since those two sins seems to be the theme over the last 10 posts or so:

    Someone who posts like a racist but swears they're "not a racist" asking for others to believe them...very compelling.

    We may not see it in our lifetimes because the "wheels of progress turn very slowly".

    ... but I tend to believe that this country will eventually get to a much better place than we are now.

    I vividly remember the 60's and the protests against the war with people saying that "anyone not supporting the US is a traitor"...and the civil rights movement and white people telling black people that if they don't like it to "move back to Africa". At the time, those types of thinking was acceptable by many but things have changed for the most part, slowly...and gradually changed many people's minds, again slowly.

    The problem for many Americans is, they don't see any pendulum swing, regardless of which party is running the country. These are the people that neither party are listening to at all (generally people of color, and the poor). Yet, supposedly a presidents job... is to all Americans. Not just it's citizens with the most wealth.

    It is clear to me that neither party is doing their job for all Americans. As long as this is the case, they aren't doing their job, period.

    Sad really. But I know a Black Person that doesn’t think this way so it must be fake.

    Although ABM might be telling the truth about what one person said, the fact that one person said that does not in any way prove either that Senator Harris hates black men or that any significant number of black men agree with that person.

    Look up what Trump said about black men.

    My problem right now is we are so far past this?
    Your response is reasonable and factual but we have been drawn into the conversation and to me that is the problem. Why are we even here right now? This country is better than this!

    Have done my civic duty and dropped my ballot at the official ballot collection spot today. The spot at the Carlsbad library was delightfully easy to use - drive through ballot collection - did not even have to leave the vehicle. In and out in 2 minutes.
