Hard for me to do that when I see a different reality. No, we are not Sweden, but we liberals are going to do everything in our power along with the millennial's and minorities, to try and achieve as much of what Sweden has achieved as we can.

What most of Western democracy has achieved. I find it amazing that people keep talking about how just obtaining what the rest of Western democracy has is nothing but pie-in-the-sky, when we are the richest country on earth.

How does that make sense?

And the poor and minorities,Millennial's and liberals will vote for leaders who will do their bidding because we have a conscience and a goal.. We liberals are guided by our conscience and our concern for others.

All we need is the votes to elect leaders. And the millennial's are so smart that they will know how to structure modern social systems. And copying what the rest of the Western democracies have once our coalition obtains power will not be that tough.

I can't believe that you think it's okay to not dream of being like Sweden. A person of conscience dreams of peace on earth, knowing they may never see it, but it is worth spending a lifetime working toward.

<< But hey, you do what you need to do. Let's just agree that anything is better than Trump, and quit arguing about stupid stuff- especially stupid stuff that is unrealistic.

This isn't fucking Sweden and it never will be.>>

It's useless. Koan's in love with his hippie dream. In the summer of 1967, I believed the entire population of the world would take acid, see the light and be changed people forever. My dream STILL has more of a chance of being realized than koan's!
