I would probably have voted for Mitt Romney over Sanders, if given the chance, but my point is we have little power if our governments go off the rails. I too get frustrated when people talk "negotiations" with Putin when to me it would be like negotiating how many teachers we'd allow a guy to hire who just shot up a school full of children. That's Putin's starting point. But I don't want to take that frustration out on any Russian individual. Indeed, I think it's propaganda that most Russians support the war. I believe it's at best 20%, probably more like 15%. And we'd have the same percentages if we went NAZI too.

What you say about America, agree. It's a bit sad how much all the bickering obscures all the progress. When I was in H.S. blacks barely had a snowball's chance of getting a good job at a corporation. Creatives, like me, also had very limited opportunities. Women too, didn't have close to the freedom they have today. I don't hate the people trying to storm our border. I love them. They get it.
