Active, long-time member GP in Minnesota made a very clear comment in the blog post, "Who holds the reins of government matters."
He wrote...
(Nader in 2024) At the end of his speech, during the Q&A part, someone asked him "What will you do when this is all over if you don't win the presidency?" He responded that he would go back to the same work he was doing before. But he then posed a counter-question; one that I'll always remember.
Ralph asked the audience:
"The real question is What are YOU going to do when this is all over?"
That's when it clicked: there's not going to be anyone out there to come along and "save us". We can't wait around for some magical candidate. It's up to us. It's about us putting aside petty differences, and uniting to force real change. The good candidates will come if we build a foundation for them to stand upon.

Thanks for that, GP.
We are fortunate to be in a situation where it is not yet over. The time is NOW and we can still act for change and work to reunify the country.
"What am I going to do when this is all over?" is the wrong question.
"What am I going to do NOW?"
Something as important as what we are trying to accomplish, that of changing politics forever to return inspiration to our country and our children... this type of thing is never over. What will I do now? I will continue to work towards building common ground whether that be amongst my family, my friends, for the country, or for the world... giving everyone the tools to take action and work for change and unity.
We're Americans, we are always looking to improve. So, let's do it!
