  • inclusiveness and broad-tentedness

    Exactly. It’s a simple unifying message.

    The first round of protests suffered from what many protests on the left suffer from. It was tens of thousand of people with their own message. The signs and the speakers were all trying to cover abortion, billionaires, voting rights, Palestine, schools, healthcare, unions, immigration, corruption, the environment, judges, etc.

    People had good intentions, but the unifying message needs to succinct and easy to understand if you want to cut through all the noise.


















  • All these comments are telling him to stay and fight, but they’re ignoring that could be devastating to his family.

    He’s over the 20 year mark and can retire. If he stays and gets a dishonorable discharge, his family gets none of his retirement, no medical, and a family member with financial mobility akin to a felon.

    What would you do in that situation?

    I don’t think I’d be willing to put my family through that. We don’t have enough in the bank to take a blow like that. I’d probably do what he did. Try to fight another way.
