The two big political parties are just about done. Their power comes from emphasizing our disagreements and whipping up our rancor toward the 'other' party. Once riled up, we have contributed our money and energy to them.
Perhaps this has reached a peak by now. I am not a Democrat anymore and I am certainly not a Republican, either. I'm interested in the 'respectful conversation' movement instead.
Please don't send money, but instead give your money to those most in need. And form living room discussion groups of about ten people, with some minimal structure to help keep everyone listening respectfully to each other, as much as possible. That's what I'm starting to do. Let's report back to each other somehow.
