120. I slept on this and hence thought about it a bit more.

This is the exact thinking that lost us the previous election. All of us including I can understand Le mieux est l’ennemi du bien or if you have no clue of french its "The perfect is the enemy of the good." We never argued against that, at least those that thought as I do. It wasn't that we expected people to be the best we could imagine, That we expected our party to be that but that we expected our party to not dismiss the concerns we had just as you have done. And here you are pushing that. That hey man, ya, your dad died because our health plan didnt cover that but for you to say that was shit is an affront to all that our party did and that you need to suck it up because,,,,,,. No, I dont need to suck it up. The Democratic party failed my Dad. It let him die. It didnt cause it but it didnt stop it. Its one thing to say that our party didnt have the power to change that, its quite another to be a member of that party and just dismiss it in favor of a political argument and insult people that bring it up. The exact same thing was done to people who lost family members in Gaza or at the min were upset at that. We were told that was the way it is and to say anything was to attack the party when we were just upset about people dying. That we needed to shut the fuck up. We are not gong to shut the fuck up. The fact that you cant understand the difference between politics and actual people makes me think of MAGA, those that believe whatever they want regardless of facts. I am sure you are not a member of a cult, one of those that think a people are destined to inherit a land via a religion. So I ask you to rethink all of this and come to a different conclusion.
Keep on keeponing
Eko.
