TRS: Being Sancho Panza

Tilting at windmills with Don Quixote... it became the stuff of legend... the individuals that are understand the world around them are doing all they can to wake the zombie hordes... the same tired discussion points hit a point of diffusion... all are pushing in the right way and suddenly ignorant ideas and false narratives steal away the energy... similarly to how Sancho Panza must have felt trying to awaken the delusional Don Quixote. From Student Debt Cancellation to Medicare for All... Don Quixote is still large and in charge and thus we named this episode "Being Sancho Panza".... see if you can relate.

Haven't you all suffered enough Don Quixote Politics? False hope, economic illiterates, theatrical Kente cloth demonstrations, etc? How many more fake performances will it take to realize we must do something differently?

To have different outcomes you need different inputs.

This Don Quixote tilting at windmills must end. It cannot be allowed to stand without a harsh rebuke. It's not ok with climate disaster in the balance to continue with a monolithic, Don Quixote like approach to "vote harder" "door knock more fiercely" "phone bank more enthusiastically"...

It's time to end Don Quixote Politics forever. Eradicate that 8 bit path to death. We don't get to pass on a sustainable earth with healthcare and education and our basic needs not farmed out for profit unless we stop playing by the oppressors rules.

I can barely stand to see it anymore. "If we just elect this one person" "if we just...."

To quote Owen Wilson in Wedding Crashers: "It's the first quarter of the big game and you wanna toss up a hail mary? I'd like to be pimps from Oakland or cowboys from Arizona but it's not Halloween. Grow up, Peter Pan! Count Chocula!"
