How to Fix the Failures of the Establishment

Hello Everyone!Every time I talk with Natasha K., the time goes by too fast. For the first part of this conversation, my mic wasn’t properly plugged in which created a bit of an echo effect. I finally fixed it, but there’s a moment where I seem to drop off the call (I come back).The more I look back on the 2024 election, the more enraged I become and the indifference, entitlement, and the self-sabotage of the DNC. Natasha is also working through her feelings about that experience. I think figuring out what happened helps us plan a better strategy going forward.She mentioned the phrase “Imposter Syndrome,” which I’ve come to identify as a tactic of white supremacy. Powerful people make you feel as if everything is your fault in order to hide their crimes. Now that I’m 50, I’m less vulnerable to this. When I was in my 20s and 30s it was a daily torment. We have to obliterate “Impostor Syndrome.” There’s no reason for it to exist on this Earth, it does not contribute anything.I’m already planning more talks with Natasha. We have more power than we think and this conversation left me feeling inspired. I hope it does the same for you. Again, sorry about the technical issues! I’m a writer not a sound engineer!
