When I was young, Eugene McCarthy and Bobby Kennedy challenged the sitting president, LBJ.

No one thought it was weird for them to do so.

In 1980, Teddy Kennedy challenged the sitting president, Jimmy Carter.

No one thought it was weird for him to do so.

People simply thought that was the democratic process.

Because it is.

The narrative that there's something *wrong* with challenging an incumbent president - as though there's an unwritten rule that it's a bad idea - is ridiculous.

It's part of the "but it has to be this way" illusion by which political elites have trained people to limit our political imaginations for decades.

People should run who feel moved to run, and everyone should have a chance to hear their ideas.

Three people are running for the Democratic nomination in 2024 and three people should be seen together on a debate stage.

*That* is the democratic way.

You are not a team because you work together. You are a team because you trust, respect and care for each other.

We need to begin a new chapter in American history, with enough of us willing to have a meaningful conversation about what we need to end now and what's struggling to be born.

What needs to end is an era of corruption brought about by our second Gilded Age, an era in which corporate profits were placed before the safety, health and well being of people and planet.

What needs to be born is an era in which we push back against such institutional abuse, return our government to one "of the people, by the people, and for the people," and replace soulless economic values with humanitarian values that honor us all and the earth on which we live.

Other generations before us have done it. Now it's our turn.

In 2019, President Jimmy Carter, the oldest living former president in US history, at age 95, built Habitat for Humanity homes in Nashville.

President Carter represents the best of humanity.

Congress is approving another 12.3 billion in bi-partisan military aid for Ukraine, on top of the $54 billion given so far. It would cost less than 2 billion to repair the water infrastructure for Jackson Miss. majority Black residents. But instead, they only get platitudes.

I love this story because it reminds me that one person can make a difference.

A big chunk of Baltimore, and a section of Baltimore county is under a water boil advisory. E.coli was found in water samples, and people are being told to boil their water before they drink it, or interact with it in any way. That includes showers. This should be a bigger story.

The US & Taiwan have made provocations together first, whereas China has been compelled to act in self-defense. Any countermeasure to be taken by China would be a justified & necessary response to the US oblivion to China's repeated démarches and the US’s unscrupulous behavior.
