Listen "watch my cat"
Episode Synopsis
Obviously, vigilante violence does nothing good for any cause. What is needed is courageous politicking. Read these words:
“And one of my biggest frustrations with many people whose politics I otherwise share is the unwillingness to match the seriousness of your politics to the seriousness of your alarm. I see a [fill in the gap] Party that often just wants to do nothing differently, even though it is failing — failing in the most obvious and consequential ways it can possibly fail.
I am probably not the person who knows how to do things differently. I have ideas that are about abundance and ideas that are about [fill in the gap], and we can talk about them, but whatever it is, it shouldn’t just be drifting forward.
If you want to talk about what looks to me like despair and pessimism, it isn’t that a couple random people on both sides, as you know, have picked up guns. It is that the people in actual power who are sane and are clear thinking are doing almost nothing differently. They’re failing and rethinking nothing, at least not on any profound level. And I actually find that very worrying.
I would like to see right now, in the rooms I am aware of, much more profound forms of restrategizing going on.”- Ezra Klein
