Michael, what a wonderful human being you are. You just described precisely what I've been doing now -- putting the cover over my head and waiting for December. I've been deleting so much from my Inbox. I am very old and this has made me once again terribly depressed. You're telling me to snap out of it. I wlll watch your film again with today's eyes. Thank you, Michael for what you share with us.

Dear Michael, I agree with you 100% on the populist economics. You, Robert Reich, Chris Murphy, Bernie Sanders, Antonio Delgado all have the same diagnosis and same prescription. But can we first make sure we even actually lost this time around? I'm assuming you know about the letter the seven computer scientists wrote to Kamala Harris explaining that because Trump supporters unlawfully breached voting systems in a number of states, then copied and distributed proprietary software to an unknown number of people, they were urging her to demand a hand-recount/forensic audit in at least some of the swing states to make sure the declared results are valid. But, and stop me if you've heard this one, did you know that Jackie Singh, head of cybersecurity for the Biden/Harris 2020 campaign also sent a letter to Harris urging a hand-recount/forensic audit?(link provided at end of comment)The Republicans scream bloody murder election fraud with no evidence and actually shift public opinion. Multiple recounts occur in multiple swing states. The Dems, on the other hand, with every legitimate reason not to trust thieving Republicans who lie, cheat, and act in bad faith every step of the way--gerrymandering, voter suppression, the Supremes, stealing and disseminating voting software--don't make a peep. How the hell can we be motivated to work for progressive change when we have no way of knowing with any reasonable certainty who even won this last election? We well may have lost. And I'm all for the next fight and insisting on a new, true economic populism whether we did or not. But with all the sketchy stuff pre-election, all the irregularities/voting anomalies that are being claimed post-election, the nature of the opposition-constant lying/always acting in bad faith--we need to find out first and foremost if we actually DID lose.
