HRC, BS, EW, Maggie Hassan, Jean Shaheen, Patty Sheehan (locally in Orlando), all together now
With Bill McKibben, Holy Moly!
Throughout the country & w/PBO discussing CJR hooray! hooray! Let’s get people out of the prisons and into jobs! That $$ can go to public works. Plenty of hard honest work in construction. Roadways, solar farms, landscapes. Desalination plants out in the gulf, and windmills on farms on rolling hills. electrical grid; those lemon juice & nickel plate batteries...(wistful autumns ago). Teslas, colonies in outer space. On Mars and say Enceladus. Yes! We can do this together!
Let’s for the moment overestimate 30M votes between them (HRC/BS) in the primary. (& say that counts caucuses (caucii?))
That’s 10% of the country. We could make PR a state, bail her out. build more windfarms & whatnot
So now we need 5x that many +1. so 50%+1. So every primary D voter talks to 5 friends who have not yet made their voices heard. And all our voices will be heard!
DC statehood. Now consider Jamaica, DR, Venezuela (remember the vuzvuzillas?) Meetings in Houston, In Orlando, in Caracas, Rio, at the UN in NYC. Breginnings, like the Renaissance. Birth of the resistance, of the next transform. A new age of exploration. like coming out of the Dark Ages, the age of Crusades. Tragic conclusions, since Aeschylus I guess. Today is a Magna Carta day.
Post Pulse, post Sandy Hook, freedom, opportunity in this hurricane season, this sea change time
May 2016 be remembered as a Cardinal year.
A year of nesting in a hive of lime twigs; arches with orchids hanging inside
sunken gardens to prepare for paradise, the water world that awaits us
we will need to care for our marine environs;
these are the “whys” of “more and better Democrats”
