      People should not have to experience a lot of things in their lives that they do. But what sets them apart is how they handle them. Defeatism only begets defeat. And the only way to affect change is through the broken system. It’s doable but a lot of hard work.

        I’m not defeatist. I can argue you are. I want a grass roots popular revolution to usurp the corrupt electoral system. You want to keep it the same and hope it gets better over time. We don’t have time with climate change. This is where I am.
