@abcfeeds @nando161 Oh look! A sane person working in a “gubbermint” role.

Note worthy:
That sane person is NOT a member of the 70++ year old, white, male demographic either.

Full disclosure I AM a mid 70s-age, white male who appreciates when persons in government leadership are NOT necessarily members of my demographic (I WOULD make an exception for Bernie Sanders). (1/3)

I VERY much believe that this world would be MUCH improved if voters had the good sense to vote for MORE female candidates for government leadership. Including POC. (2/3)
@abcfeeds @nando161
Old, white, dudes have had millennia to practice governing & more often than not stepped on their dicks in the process, to the detriment of the planet and its inhabitants. Let’s try something different … I think Einstein was the one who warned that doing the same shit over and over again while expecting a different result is the definition on insanity. What’s say we stop being insane. (3/3)
