When I stand in the middle of your message it reflects both ways. Places like Chicago, San Francisco, NY, LA, Baltimore have long been on the path to where they find themselves today; greatly predating the 4 years of Trump. (Clinton 8, Bush 8, Obama 8, Trump 4 = 16 years of Dem rule vs 12 years of Rep….inconvenient reality about voting.)

I hear you though. Both sides have failed to raise up our country and our people. They grab for power by making everyone on the other side an arch enemy. They can not point to what positive things they have done so they blame their ignorance an ineptitude on the devil in their opponent. In attacking Manchin and Sinema you fell into that same nasty trap. They are good, even heroic, until they say or do one thing you dislike and then they are filth? From friend to enemy in the blink of an eye? A rational, considering mind would say not. But then it is the absence of rational consideration that fuels our social crisis. Step back, take a breath and think it through. Wounds need to be healed, not salted.
