Got the stamp, because that’s all our system is capable of accomplishing anymore. The John Lewis Voting Rights Act failed. Good work, everyone?

I don't think John Lewis would agree with the despairing tone of this post. If something fails, what do you do? You get back out there and get in trouble, good trouble, to make it happen. You believe in change, rather than sitting on your hands like the white moderates Dr. King wrote about in his letter from an Alabama jail.

Yes, anger at elected officials not delivering on their promises is always wrong and must be replaced by doing even more activism their donors pay them to ignore.
I don’t despair, that would require the possibility of an alternative.

No, it's right to be angry. But believing that "that's all our system is capable of accomplishing anymore" is defeatist tripe.
