Your point about he media narrative, while not false, is not particularly relevant.

Ok. Have a good one

Have a good one

Thank you, I will try my hardest.

Presently, the biggest obstacle to that goal is the combination of ignorance and propaganda affecting the upcoming election cycle, which has been empowering the right and fragmenting the left. The goodness of the one I am going to have is largely proportional to leftist turnout, and largely inversely proportional to the percentage of leftists confused by that ignorance and propaganda.

[Large] percentage of leftists confused by ignorance and propaganda.

You nailed it. There are so many, leftists and otherwise. I don't blame those who are since we're drowning in a veritable flood of bad info by bad actors, but i hope and believe it can get better. but with all the fud out there it's not going to be easy.

I hope you get what you need from your efforts, same as i, and together we all come out of this garbage reality with our lives and loves intact.
