Look… I’m as furious with Joe Biden’s support for Israeli genocide as any proper progressive leftist. I feel personally betrayed by our current policies. That said, we can work on that and have momentum in our favor. Just look at what’s happening on our college campuses, surely a positive harbinger of things to come. I also understand the existential threat to democracy and all we hold dear that DJ Trump and his remade fascist party represent to us all. There is absolutely no comparison between the two, they are NOT the same. I will hold my nose and VOTE FOR Biden - while continuing to work for a and justice for Israeli . I trust you will do the same.

Feeling this “ability to hold two things in my mind at once” is necessary for progress in so many ways big and small

They really need to teach that in school

Somebody pointed out that debate-club based on winning and losing rather than compromise is damaging to our politics

@AccordionBruce I was a HS and college debater. A member of the Nat’l Forensics League who competed at nat’l tournaments. The beauty of academic debate is that teams are required to take both sides of the issue at tournaments, thus the debates become an exercise in logic, argumentation and rhetoric. One must be as persuasive and convincing on one side as the other to win. Great training for those who would be lawyers, litigators especially. I was one of the few who did not take that path, opting for a diverse career in multiple disciplines.
