I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Where are the Democrats responding to ending white privilege and white supremacy? Certainly not at all with Obama. Then who? Then when? Are the Dems pushing for National rank voting? Because? Why are neoliberals in power? Why is the “center” so far right? Why is the concept of “slippery slope “ so death inflicting?
You can't respond to whte privilege without alienating most of white America, you can only change it, and piecemeal at that. The rise of the fascist right is attributable to the changes already made in our culture. Not all Democrats are progressives, and apparently 99% of Republicans are racist, misogynistic, religious nuts.
You have a lot of whys? if you were paying attention to Thom's article and TV program,you would know the answer. Money in poltics, we have the best government, many can buy.

Very insightful discussion!
Change, if it happens, will start at the bottom up. One of the lost in history changes that the FDR administration started was the regionalization of America. Some bits of the infrastructure as still with us--TVA and WAPA in the electricity area. We also have a plethora of regional state compacts.
If we are going to change and have a durable democracy, we may want to revisit the regionalization efforts. Hopefully this time they will not be interrupted by a World War.
