5. Two things immediately came to mind...

First - I hope you are doing as well as possible and make it to 2032 election and beyond. This place will be lessened tremendously when your voice and perspective cross over and move on.

Secondly - you are goddamn right AND I am goddamn terrified that the messaging from the party leadership is adequate to this task. I am terrified that the best outcome won't be enough and the chaos of the C.H.U.D-in-chief will lead us to utter ruin and devastation that will take generations to recover from (if ever).

All good thoughts and wishes to you though MM, in the end its people that matter and you're one of the ones we need going forward if only to provide wisdom, perspective and patience to those of us who might be more inclined to despair or reactionary movement.
