The Age of Grievance | 
pickI‘m a leftist. The policies I want to see enacted are basic, and just common sense. I started paying attention to politics late in the game, and I‘ve learned a lot since then. One thing I‘ve learned, is that it‘s ugly. It‘s dirty. There is constant infighting, especially on the left. Things work, when we work as a team. I get really irritated sometimes when the fighting is petty; I‘ll give some examples. At clinic, we suddenly had an⬇️

I saw so much fighting between them, and that didn‘t help us, the staff, or the patients. They would fight each other over ridiculous things.

JenniferEgnor not referring to any individual…is just a bit much. So with all of this being said, I could go on. I don‘t agree with everything the author says, but I get where he‘s coming from and I do understand a lot of it. What we must always remember is to think, speak, and act in a way that reflects love, never hate. Be on guard for the vile things you know are wrong and call it out every time you see it.
