Evolution and the Forward Party
Like a lot of folks across the political spectrum (mostly from center to left), I have taken a step back from the fray and am looking for something to grab on to and inspire a reentry into engagement and action to help our country move Forward. Although massive damage to our political system has occurred and the system continues to fragment, I feel as if there is nascent momentum in response to the right who is progressively setting the stage for their version of authoritarianism. The Democrats are reeling as the right implements their agenda swiftly. The time to rest is quickly coming to an end. Checking out, which a lot of us want to do, may not be an option should we want to have a country where all Americans can live long and prosper.
To do this, I think it might be helpful to have places to discuss, better understand, debate and even evolve (?!?) Forwards "big ideas".
So three (3) questions to start...
Is this the place? (I assume it is although there may be other better places, I just don't know where they are)
How do we respectfully engage with each other with enough vigor and discourse to strengthen the message?
What are the "big ideas" that can be turned into bite sized digestible chunks that we can hold on to?
