Well, yes. There is a great hunger for a sensible decent politics here. As there must be with you. I saw AOC asking questions of someone in government. Ilhan (sp?) speaks the truth and it sends everyone sideways.
Really, our societies are just hallucinatory. The story of American benevolence and whatever we are mean to have are so often covers for cynical behaviour no one would ever tolerate in an acquaintance.
The Liberal Party of my youth was somewhat like Eisenhower, I guess. Which is to say like Obama. The ALP....more like McGovern but not quite.
