Thank you so, so much for writing about our precarious situation. As Heather Cox Richardson has been saying, we are on the knife edge - will we have a democracy or autocracy. Thanks for including links to Solnit and Richardson. Thanks for clearly specifying what not voting has brought us. As an American by choice, I'm beyond sad and scared to see what this country has become and where it seems headed; I don't understand the (to me, childish, self indulgent) choice not to vote. How many have died so we could continue to choose who governs us? And thank you for clarifying that you don't advocate for inappropriate happiness - that happiness is the outcome of the right actions.
