This is why the electoral college is such a joke. Republicans have won one popular vote since ā€˜92. While Iā€™m no Pollyanna, I just wonder where this country could be if the electoral college didnā€™t exist.

Is there any research about companies, organizations, etc., having on-staff therapists where employees can go when/if they want? Iā€™ve always wondered what the impact would be on teachers and staff if they went at least once a month.

I get that. Then you donā€™t supply them and defense contractors get pissed and you have that issue which is very embedded in govā€™t.Are defense contractors more important than innocent lives? No, of course not. Plus, those weapons do help protect Israel, even though yes, they are offensive, too.

I realize my point may be somewhat moot since Eisenhower was a two-term president. But I stand by it even though maybe I shouldnā€™t for that reason šŸ¤Ŗ

While I know that some presidents have had ā€œsuccessesā€ when it comes to Israel and the Palestinian state issue, but at this point what can the U.S. do? Itā€™s going on 80 years of conflict. Iā€™m not embedded in the foreign policy world, but do we hold Eisenhower responsible for the 1950s blowbacks?

And also, oddly, heā€™s saying that Venezuelan support Trump? And therefore she should change her endorsement? Odd strategyā€¦.

The irony of all this (which Iā€™m sure you address in your bookā€”itā€™s on its way to me) is if we had an my semblance of good social welfare policyā€”healthcare for all, maternity leave with pay, accessible mental health services for all, livable wages, etc.) what he says might be more possible.
