I walked into work at Whole Foods shortly before the announcement. It was calm and quiet. When the fabulous news came, all of the Amazon employees, Whole Foods employees, and customers in the store suddenly erupted with wild cheers and applause! People were hugging and dancing! Outside the store here in Lower Manhattan it’s even more festive with cars are honking their horns and people are gathered outside celebrating in a big impromptu festival!
The moment Trump was declared the winner in 2016 it seriously felt like creepy dark clouds came over the country. I watched in disbelief when the election results rolled in that night, and then in horror late that night when he gave his acceptance speech. People said he won’t be that bad and to give him a chance, but he turned out to be even worse than feared. Every day he and his administration of goons behaved very recklessly and brought nothing but division and hostility between its citizens. And great shame to my country.
This year was the worst I’ve witnessed in my lifetime with so many horrible things happening on a massive scale and right in front of my eyes. Finally some good news! This is so amazing. I’m almost tearing up right now.
The Republican Party and the 70 million+ FUCKING TRASH IDIOTS who voted for Trump are going to give Biden and Kamala absolute hell the next four years. Likely even more than Obama got. But I truly believe Biden and Harris are going to reverse the nonstop train wreck we’ve been on the past four years and accomplish a lot of great things for the country and world!

OK, so I just listened to BATUKA in a long time and realized once more how prophetic and brilliant this album is. I mean, her singing "it's a long way" and "let me catch my breath" - seriously, I got chills listening ........

Personally, after hearing the song (and even more so after seeing the video), I think it is a poetic reference to “the patriarchy” (a metaphor).
That‘s an interesting interpretation!

@peter Well, if the translation of the Japanese lyrics back into English is only half as interesting as that funny Hungarian interview James and Andrea re-enacted on British television, then I‘m all for it.
Alexey Navalny dies, murdered by Putin.
