notes
the democrats state of the union "resistance" and "response" was weak, not representative of the angst of the populace and just flat out disappointing.
cory booker's speech was a great way to respond to that. in many ways it worked.
in other ways, we need this energy to be sustainable and possibly outside of the 2 party context. these are wild times.
for now, thank you cory.
