An enlightened society
I shall vote for the candidate, who best offers his/her vision of an enlightened society, the premise of which (as the great Paul Tsongus said) "We all do better, when we all do better."
I'm a 72 year Senior. We are so lucky to have so many great candidates, younger generation candidates. Our Childrens' generation of candidates. So take heart. We did something right. We raised these kids to be smart, brave, and compassionate. Our candidates stand before us with a moral compass well-tuned and aligned correctly. What do our candidates offer us? The possibility of an enlightened society, if we come together and believe in it. Work for it. But always the underlying message is that of let's create a better society for everyone. An enlightened society.
And what will the Republican candidates offer us? Fear and loathing, of course. Republicans offer nothing but more fear and loathing. Ask a Republican what he wants to create and maintain. He will talk about shutting out. Cutting off. Pushing down. Only they have the right to win.
And so, I sit back and luxuriate and bask in what our candidates tell us about their visions for a better society. What they will do to lead down the path towards an enlightened society -- in detail.
I shall cast my first primary vote in Texas for Elizabeth Society. I agree with her assessment that the greatest obstacle to creating and maintaining a better society for all is the unfettered greed of the rich and powerful to accumulate enormous wealth by any means possible. She doesn't say it in just those words, but that is what I'm hearing.
So to all my DU friends, I ask that you consider those candidates, who in their own ways advocate for a better society for all. We have a few candidates, who are already doing that.
