6. Rachel seems to be MIA, and has been for a long time now.

Besides doing photo-ops with the US military in the ME with a totally embedded crew, and so on, she hasn't done anything.
I don't watch MSNBC at all.

wtf happened after Air America, that put her fire out?

Whatever, for a long time I haven't looked to the MSM for anything other than the voice of my political enemies. From front to back, through the full gamut of their phony "left/right" spectrum, the US MSM is 100% corporatist, 100% militarist, 100% the tool of the oligarchy. Even when, in their magnanimity, they allow a real progressive a few minutes to speak.

Also I contrast those pessimistic thoughts with my new thoughts and reactions to e.g. Bernie Sanders' speech at Liberty University and the positive response across the board -- to the feeling of *relief* that there could be this discussion between people who treat each other as equals, whose differences are respected. Totally in the MSM's face.

7. What you said about Bernie at Liberty University and how it has made people think

about how we have been encouraged to despise people we don't agree with, is what a lot of people have said about that speech. The whole 'left/right' thing which we all participated in, was emotional manipulation and those in power worked hard to keep it that way.

But people are worried about more than the latest 'oooh, did you hear what Any C&^lter said today and it just isn't getting the same reaction it used to get.

Bernie and the people at Liberty was an amazing reminder that we can disagree respectfully AND find areas where we do agree and work on those areas for the benefit of this country.

Because if people continue down the old path of my team/your team, the divisions that attitude creates will destroy this country, it almost has.

Seeing that speech though, gave a lot of people hope that we can work together to put this country ahead of everything else and try to make it a better place than it is right now.

8. Yes, I'm genuinely happy, uplifted by these events.

And it is new, sabrina.

I've been so pessimistic for so long and this breath of mutual understanding - as opposed to just being manipulated - is totally refreshing.

I love it, I revel in it.
