As the saying goes, from your mouth God's ears! But a Biden victory, if achieved, is only the first step in a much longer and infinitely more difficult process. Educating the American public in effective citizenship (in the value of democracy, and in participatory politics) after forty years of steady rightwing propaganda is perhaps the only thing that can prevent us from sliding back into the dangerous territory that we now occupy. In the name of unfettered capitalism, the Koch network and its allies have instilled in us a cynical conviction that neither government nor science can be trusted and that we owe no allegiance to anyone beyond our own families. With that as raw material, community building is incredibly challenging.
