I really like Joe, but he is not gonna win. Kaptur is the #2 Congressional purveyor of pork, perhaps trailing only the late John Murtha. People in Toledo are addicted to the Federal Pork she brings home.
Look, I understand what you are saying, but what’s your point? Just give up? Roll over?
I’m tired of the cynicism and defeatism. That’s exactly why we’re where we are.
This is what we need to keep in mind:
“The last time we saw one whole despotic region of the world come tumbling down we could name the heroes and the moments that propelled it:
An electrician named Lech Walesa, jumping a wall at the Gdansk shipyard. Boris Yeltsin atop a tank in front of the Russian White House, defying the Communist old guard in 1991. Pastor Laszlo Tokes, refusing an eviction notice from his Romanian flat as crowds of demonstrators gathered. A playwright named Vaclav Havel before a joint session of Congress, giving in Czech a speech quoting the Declaration of Independence.
These men weren’t perfect, but they performed brave deeds at pivotal moments in history. They helped Westerners find common ground with a part of the world blocked from view until the fall of the Berlin Wall behind strange languages, customs, and a muffled history.”

If you want to be a wet blanket, just...well, just don’t.
So sadly true. We know that corruption wins in this most corrupted democracy (republic) on the planet.
