Letter to the editor: No revolution needed

A recent letter highlighted a good bit why there is even a question of Trump being re-elected, in fact, elected in the first place. The only revolution needed is the number of the populous that are involved in the daily job of running the country, at all levels. We live in a representative democracy, a two party system, and a tri-part Federal government, that only works if all adults pay attention and are not totally involved in daily life that they can’t even bother to vote. It’s about attention and education. That being said, this recent letter, puts the blame for recent problems on one man, Trump and that all will be fixed by elected a new president, Biden or not. And the flaws of the present are due to those men and their supporters, both sides of which are the problem. And here is the flaw, each side is supported by an administration, who are not dummies, a Congress of 525 mostly smart people, and the rest of the country sitting on it’s collective butts by and large. We are where we are because as a group, the Republicans have waged a 30 plus year war on the general public and too many of the Democrats have waged debates like this blaming everyone but themselves. The only flaw with the Progressives, is rather than working together, they debate and drag down their best hope for progress, starting with POTUS but really including the Congress and Courts. Stop it before it’s too late, it is a two party system, forget the third party nonsense, forget the nitpicking and get on with working on solutions. A famous quote of Will Rogers, is “I am a member of no organized political party, I am a Democrat” — past time to make that false.
