So Ted Cruz and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) have been flirting on Twitter as regards the violation of a sacred, traditional taboo: the ban on Democrats working with Republicans. Will it get very far? Probably not. Or Democratic process of built to fail. A to party system limits cooperation among the parties and generates a psychology of enmity and distrust. It’s a frame of mind that most folks seen happy with, more or less, presumably because it gives them someone to blame and something to fight about.
I’m really for these two love birds, don’t get me wing — but I don’t think we’ll ever break past the partisan barriers until we review the democratic process.

Writer. In the summers, I live and work in the incredible state of Alaska, in the bush community of McCarthy, as the Executive Director of the Wrangell Mountain Center. When not in McCarthy, you'll typically find me in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California, writing and working with local activists. My primary writing project right now is a novel set in remote bush Alaska, of the magical realism genre wherein an earnest and independent young woman finds a mysterious radio belonging to her grandmother, a device that has paranormal bandwidth and a disturbing ability to mess with one's mental stability.
