Though I am a registered Independent, I lean heavily Democratic when it comes to environmental and social justice issues. As is clearly evident in many of my posts, I despise almost everything suggested or enacted by King Trump and his faithful Cabinet.
Sensing my political philosophy, likely via my donations and memberships, I am deluged with texts and emails from prospective Democratic candidates and Democratic pundits. Needless to say, they will have no effect on my future actions and, if anything, serve to diminish my respect for the American political process.
The Democratic Party would be better served by having thoughtful, well-spoken candidates and representatives appear on as many news programs, TV talk shows and podcasts as possible; twenty-four hour speeches are not likely to be effective. Community town halls will also become very important as we approach next year's midterms. Of course, for the rest of us, financial support for the ACLU, PBS and relief and conservation organizations will serve to expose the dangerous policies of the Trump Administration.
