10. Could we please drop the term "leftists" and go to something like "normal people".

That would then include all of the Woke Folk who believe in being humanitarian toward their fellow citizens. Love thy neighbor and provide aid and comfort to those in need is not an ideology. Those are things that you do when you want to live in a sane, peaceful and inclusive society. We have strayed so far from those ideals. Even in this hour of darkness, I still believe we can find our way back to a better and just society.

"darkest before dawn?" rampartd Sep 2025 #3
Such a dumb phrase! PJMcK Sep 2025 #12
Well, it doesn't say *immediately* before the dawn, just "before". But poetic license is the deciding factor. nt eppur_se_muova Sep 2025 #17
