Abby speaks very well. Measured and pointed. Clear. Thank you for bringing her voice to me, here in North Carolina.
It matters a lot to me how the young people feel and think, what they want and hope for. And how terrifying things are and have been for them.
I grew up at ground zero (DC) with a dad in the Army nuclear program. We did drills under the desks. At age 22, a man shot himself in front of me and two of his children. I've studied post-traumatic growth (PTG). We talk more about PTSD now than before, and lots of people talk about being traumatized.
Living through an active shooter experience is deeply traumatizing. I believe subjecting small children to active shooter drills is also traumatizing.
The politicians we have in the Senate and in the House today--many of them--are not capable of addressing the challenges that face America today. We need REFORM. Electoral reform, and legislative reform.
Political tactics have manufactured many of the "crises" we find ourselves in today. They exacerbate them. Amplify them.
We need to adjust the electoral process so that people are incentivized to govern.
