SDS 'radicals' ... just by way of introduction.
I'm incredibly moved by your OP, the clarity & lucidity in the face of increasingly desperate times,
times largely uncharted in history books, times that are forcing hella-hard choices on more and
more people, and times that require nothing less than a mass revolutionary awakening.
... and I'm so heartened to hear your invitation to join forces with as much grace and respect
as we can muster, while we still can. I have 3 sons, the youngest which is just a bit older than
you. I sense they -- esp the youngest two -- are feeling the same as you, but haven't quite
found the words for it yet.
I don't know what else to say, except yes, of course. Let's do that..
BTW - This ^ is one of the biggest reasons I'm so thrilled and encouraged to be a part of Bernie's
political revolution, because it's got to start somewhere, and politics is one of the few ways Left
for people to (legally) come together to get shit done.
