Consider this:

What do you think about convincing Hakeem and the DNC to organize an open well structured presidential primary, encourage lots of candidates of any persuasion to participate; schedule rounds of debates everywhere that highlight the effects of the financial and political boondoggle forced on us by Pinocchios big bad bill; and require candidates to present precise plans for governing like Elissa Slotkin’s? I want to see this. It’s a way to feature and introduce candidates early on, to get the truth out everywhere, raise the interest level, get positive energy vibes in a broad swath of the electorate, control the narrative (not reactive), create the stories we want people to know/believe/live! 

LET’s DO IT!!!!!

PS:  We can flood the DNA and our reps in communications urging them to think out of the box and ACT NOW! We can make the effort and we have the contact info on the excellent spreadsheet. My proposed course of responding resonated with many readers, so if it’s helpful, just copy and paste it. Maybe it will get an action plan started. Thank you. 

I’m almost 90 and I want to leave when our world is still a Democracy. GO FOR IT!

This was such a fun interview, Sam. My favorite parts: "algorithmic misogyny" is a perfect term for our time. Also, "How many fucks do you give?" I generally give zero, except when it comes to my kids. Then, perhaps I give too many. Thanks!
