"I know these are difficult days. But here's what I also know. I know we can steer ourselves out of this crisis. Because that's who we are. Because that's what we've always done as Americans. Our nation has faced difficult times before. And at each of those moments, we've risen to meet the challenge because we've never forgotten that fundamental truth - that here in America, our destiny is not written for us, but by us." (from here)
This man. I want him to be my president. He's certainly not perfect, but I'm that creepy socialist w/ anarchist tendencies in the corner, so that chances of anyone being perfect are pretty slim. (I want systemic change, dammit!) This man, though, just blows me away. I'd take a class from him, I'd read his book, I'd join his movement; I want him to be president. It won't help much -- as long as we cling to this capitalist ideology we're fucked - but it may help some.
I'm going to end up bawling on election day, however it works out.
