Supporters: I apologize for my inability, so far, to create PeopleCount alone. Here’s a brief update.
I still need partners
A few of you have expressed support, or even gifted a few dollars. I appreciate that, but it needs to be more than a few people and a few dollars. What I have always needed is a few dedicated partners- there needs to be a team. I need real help and/or real funding. The main things funding would do is let me work on PeopleCount full time and hire a team.
With or without funding, I’ll persist, but don’t expect results. Yes, I have an intention of launching in about a year, but it’s just an intention, not a plan.
Complaint: I’m not inspirational
A few people have complained that I’m not inspiring enough. I’ve done the best I could. If you want to take responsibility for creating inspirational communication about PeopleCount, I’ll be happy to work with you. Otherwise, your complaint is merely whining. I’ve heard it, but it gives me no access to a solution.
I’m inspired
FYI, I am completely inspired by a real plan forÂ
- us, The People, to be able to design our future together
- our leaders to be fully accountable for creating that future, every month, not just in elections
- most of the major problems in our political system to be fixed
- us to be able to work together to fix the rest
- citizens to be happy with government, politics and politicians
If you’re not, I suggest you remedy that. Mainly, that’ll require working with me to see that the above is both possible and likely, and working on yourself to give up the myths that you believe about politics that say the above is not likely. Or, good luck being a victim to your own point of view as well as our political system.
Our political system IS dysfunctional
In all my research, I’ve seen NO powerful plans to remedy it or get around the effects of the dysfunction. The most powerful efforts seem to be by Trump, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, but none of them have overcome the dysfunctional nature of our political system. Neither they, nor Our Revolution, the Tea Party, Libertarians or anyone else looks to have a chance. While many have a chance at gaining power, at best they’ll gain power in a dysfunctional system.
While a new group might pass a few laws that improve or even fix a few of the problems, without fixing the underlying foundational problem that breeds the dysfunction, the fixes won’t make much of a difference.
To recap about the dysfunction:
Don’t Give me Advice
Meanwhile, enjoy the political system you’re cooperating with. Whether you vote or not, contribute to campaigns or not, care or not, you’re supporting the current political system. And in my failures, so am I.
