    I think you’re putting the cart before the horse. We won’t see systemic change until we have more progressives in government, and people don’t run for office unless they love their country enough to change it. In order to get out of this situation, I think we need more patriotism in leftist circles.

    I believe in the government’s ability to eventually do the right thing. I love that we have a justice department that is actually holding people in power accountable. I love that the IRA and Chips act have meaningfully made life better for people. I love that we are attempting to cancel student debt despite setbacks.

    Yeah, things could be better, but they won’t be until we make them better and I think that the US is a place we can reasonably do that and that’s beautiful.
