Me, too, brother. I’m struggling to answer your question; I’m not sure I understand it. BUT, to me successful political change and government leadership looks like meeting basic human needs (think maslow’s hierarchy) so everyone has an opportunity thrive.

What gives me hope is people recognizing our collective power. Colonization taught us that authority lives above us and that we should accept our place. Finding our own moral compass means questioning what we were taught and asking whether it reflects our dignity, integrity, and care for one another. I’m 70, and I’ve spent decades helping people find their voices through advocacy and organizing. My company was called Voice Your Silence. People who have been marginalized have voices and power, but those in control benefit when we doubt that. Our involvement cannot end with an election. Governments, institutions, and corporations must answer to the people their decisions affect. We have to organize, speak, vote, and demand accountability. People are the power. We have to recognize it in ourselves—and exercise it together.

transforming oppresive systems- is liberation! political change is not liberation, it still works within the broken systems. but i have more hope now for real liberation.

just finished watching Green Book on Netflix, and it gave me so much to think about. I'm taking American Ethnicity this semester so with this in mind what would a fair trail to life look like ? That’s the essence of this question… is it like a fight between good end evil … the hold of resources and and the subtile messages that are registered and embedded in human history . Is about the haves and haves not the worthy and the unworthy I can go on and on . Have we become so automatically wired for survival and achievement that we disconnect from the reason we are here ?

Amazing, I'm so happy for all of you! 😃 So many historic victories ✨ Some thoughts - when the office becomes your friends & colleagues - can you still hold the ppl's voice clearly over time? And do ppl remember to stay somewhat engaged even between major elections? Supporting when needed, not only unconstructive criticism, so that it doesn't turn into a them vs us? Maybe the political architecture need to change? But I'm hopeful too, so much happening in the world 😃

I wish these results were about fairness, equality and greater societal care but I think they were mostly about "Don't fuck with my money".

Politics of Hope and Love and Belonging I agree about material change in people's lives, but the narration that has been articulated and endorsed in the election matters too. It has grown and got louder and more people believe it. I do believe that's a really important precursor to actual change. Of course change has to happen or faith will fall away. In UK we have politicians rooted in oppressive colonial systems. Some may may be slightly left leaning, but essentially are propping up the status quo. Sadly these politicians seem to be styling themselves on the progressive democrats in US ... as a style choice for popularity rather than any depth or substance. I think we are a long way from a politics of hope or love or belonging or freedom in the UK. Maybe the leader of the Green party here has genuine substance, but it's a lot for one person! My only personal hope is in the rise of new progressives in America.

The establishment is working exactly as intended. I love the blue wave, but come February, the entire liberal establishment will be forced to wake up when they inevitably continue the status quo. The best we can expect is the massive political theater of trying to hold openly fascist figures accountable. Unfortunately, because the DNC upholds capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy, not much will actually change. Real change must come from the citizens—better known as the obedient peasants. We make the world work, and it is time to take it back from settler-colonial projects and start living in balance with the natural order. In the interim, however, it is still satisfying to watch white supremacist, patriarchally conditioned MAGA followers get upset.
