My family and I donate a generous amount of our time and money across a variety of political, environmental, and philanthropic organizations.
Thank you for your generosity, for sure.
I don’t disagree. I just think everyone should do what they can. I am doing what I can. If you have the capacity to be in the streets, I genuinely applaud you. I would encourage you to continue exercising your civic rights, donating, and getting your point of view out there.
Forgive me if I’m not willing to accept an authoritative statement based on data without access to the data. But I’m not willing to take that leap.
The problem, as I see it, is we live in a flawed democracy and the path to change by definition lies with getting the most progressive candidates possible in office unimpeded by regressives. It’s the only reasonable way to get change. It will be slow, it will not always be exciting. But in the meantime, I have to put food on the table and manage my life, so taking to the streets is not a reasonable long term solution for me.
I’ll continue donating to progressive causes, voting, and arguing online. It’s the bandwidth I can spare.
I suspect we agree more than we disagree and our differences are a matter of degrees.
I quickly scanned over this after I saw the words “Decades of analysis.” [Citation needed.]
I will not be reading the rest unless I see a citation for this authoritative abstract you’ve written.
That would be nice. But we need to live our lives in reality.
They have the data. It’s Amazon. The data just doesn’t say what they want it to say.
