You’re right. I went off track you attacked me and won. But I don’t understand what she said that you think is wrong and is capitulation? IMO your fight in your country needs to go beyond Trump and beyond the next election. Your checks and balances failed. Your citizens failed. Your system failed.

Huh? Do you think that identifying the extent and depth of the problem is capitulation? What have you done that is more than she has?She has not walked off the field nor suggested you do. She is saying don’t wait for an election to think you have done enough. The problem is bigger than that. Man up

It is a huge problem that we measure life by only our scale in both size and time. Life on Earth happens both imperceptibly fast and slow, large and small. And in our arrogance we choose winners and losers. We will ultimately lose at our own hand.
