Of Course Americans are BROKE

33. My big worry is that too few of our electeds are out there advocating for the big stuff.

Just because something seems out of reach today doesn't mean you have to keep quiet about it.

You can only build political will by advocating, loud and proud for the type of transformational changes we need to address critical moral failings in how things work.

Our candidates and electeds can help us build a vision of what we want/need -- something that actually inspires others to get on board to make the dream a reality. But I think more of them need pushes from us to break the habit of "can't win, won't fight."

The thing is, as you are building political will for the big stuff, you change the boundaries of the possible. And you have a better shot at actually accomplishing changes, now, that move the big goal closer.
