Congrats on your post, I look forward to many more. You have a grounded optimism in our party. I see that in your comments in The Bulwark.

I'm a 65 yr old member of the Democratic Party. I'm not radical, not a communist, don't want your guns. I just would like to see reforms of immigration laws (no wall), assault weapons laws, and term limits for SCOTUS. Is that too much?

I think I need your careful optimism in this time of darkness. Thank you.

Thanks Jeri!

I'm 54 and proudly consider myself a socialist. Not in the whole authoritarian communist mold of workers owning the means of production to make the party members rich, but in the worker empowerment and government policy is an effective tool to fight off the bad effects of unrestrained capitalism mold.

Thanks for giving me a chance and I expect to really find my voice as I continue on this journey. I enjoy reading your comments. You bring a lot to the table and I hope you'll come along with me.

I have a soft spot for socialism, the kind you embrace. Because I believe it would benefit EVERYONE.

But I live in the hellscape that is now Texas where I'm already considered a Marxist/Communist/Socialist (take your pick, lol!) just by being a Democrat.

Mr. L.C., I'm looking forward to the ride!

Thank you! Writing a whole newsletter was a totally different experience than just throwing out hot takes at The Bulwark. ;)
