I’m ordinary and sometimes have principles. I work in the arts and am a former journalist. I believe in being awake to all possibilities. A ‘Woke’ is a gathering of furry animals from a Star Wars film (similar to a ‘Murder’ of Crows’).

You are right. But the MAGAs know that too. That’s why they are banning books, obliterating universal rights, and hiding historical atrocities from young and impressionable people. Dems need to bring ‘the young’ together and listen to them. Find their focus - follow it and fix it for them.

Dems need to get their act together to battle Trump’s dementia & corruption. E.g. adverts aimed at 35yo’s in all rural states explaining that their parents are about to lose their med insurance with BBB. All GOP utterances need to be buried with better stories, better news and understandable truths.
