True. Paying attention to our online footprint, keeping privacy technology and encryption available will be a huge part of it. No more “if you aren’t doing something wrong then you don’t need to worry about it” or whatever people said that Snowden tried to point out was dumb.

I thought Walz was a great pick for that reason. He seemed like he could appeal to that group. But then they kind of hid him to get Republicans instead, and tried to make him more like them instead of being more like him (they stopped using the “weird” thing so they wouldn’t alienate Republicans, for example). Now that I think about it, if he can be encouraged to follow what I think are his mostly good, progressive instincts (except for the time he called the military on protestors), he might be a good, new central leader in this movement in the future.

True! Especially since it’s often really good at making you feel something.

Good point. It might be a good idea to set up a Plan B anyway just in case.
