***** Regarding Bernie and me: despite that I find him a godsend, last chance for us all, I am aware that my nervous system has kept me on the sidelines, just sending on favorable posts, but not diving in with what little resources I have or time to support the campaign. I think I have just understood why. A combination of feeling that the odds were too low that he would win the nomination, and not being drawn into efforts to win an election, that that was not promising enough. Now that it appears extremely unlikely that he will win the nomination I suspect I will begin working substantially , including limited funds, toward the campaigning. Odd, right? The reason is that now I feel that any efforts are less about getting him elected, not that that wouldn't be wonderful, but more about building, and advancing, sowing the seeds for, doing the education for.. a movement. I don't think I can resist participating in, working in furtherance of, that. And yes, this is contrary to what I had earlier said, that I would not work to advance anyone, that had not taken an unequivocal stand against the genocide of Palestine. But as I wrote last week I have undergone a substantial shift in that I seem to be finally finally finally metabolising that the disintegration of society and Humanity has begun but that there are still current and future survivors to protect and help, even in Palestine, and surely Bernie is the way Superior option in that regard for Palestine than are any of the other candidates.
