I have lost pretty much all hope our govt can do anything constructive. Time to exit the system and build a parallel, better one.

There isn’t much that can be done as long as the filibuster and the narrow majority exists in congress. Only a few minor things are available otherwise. Need to get a larger majority, break the filibuster and work on the courts
