It's not about getting everyone to agree with only you since "you're infallible."
Remind people that disagreement exists and is palpable.
Do what you can, of any "amount" or "worth".You exist, therefore you impact this Earth.

#KamalaHarris on #Trump’s #economic agenda: “You see, for Donald Trump, our #economy works best if it works for those who own the big skyscrapers, not those who actually build them, not those who wire them, not those who mop the floor.”
Harris is presenting herself as a #pragmatist unbound by ideology.”We shouldn’t be constrained by ideology, & instead should seek #practical solutions to problems,”she says, offering herself as a #technocrat – #qualified & #capable.

I like to think I'm an #optimist, a hopeful #idealist, and a right-now #pragmatist.
I'd like to tap in to the last of those atm. Is there anything we can do now (within months) to decrease #GunViolence?
What I want (what I really, really want) is to know if there are meaningful ways we could reduce the number of victims (especially children) that would work across the political spectrum?

This 3-way interview from '02, featuring #Rorty, #Putnam + #Conant is very interesting.
Most interesting about it, to my mind, is that it's Putnam who comes across as most down-to-earth, most authentically, experientially connected with real-world concerns. In other words, who comes across as most genuinely #pragmatist. Even when referencing #Kant or #Plato, he is less abstract in tone and content than either Conant or, especially, Rorty. Symptomatic?
