We lost a round. How many times in the last 40 years has the left come out fighting? Now I know people from all sides will suspect I'm deluded, but hear me out if you will.
What we don't want is to turn on each other. People make mistakes, sure. I think we learned from this election that the party of the haves, the rich few, control almost everything. Why should I surrender my principles? Because we lost? There is a nation of people here who aren't scared about communists taking their home ownership and corporate pensions because none of the rest of us will: a- get to retire, b- own a home, c- get to pawn off everyone else for their own stupidity.
People think the World War 2 generation were good, brave, important. They weren't. They were guilty of the same monstrosities that they fought against. Plus many of us knew them.
I believe this and the last are wicked generations. The next? Starved by the last.
