Happy Birthday, America

It is turning out to be a formative year for our nation. Off all days, the Fourth of July is a great time to remember that, even with the falling dollar and an international reputation, this is still a remarkable country. This year’s primary season, which featured both the first female and the first African American candidates that were serious contenders for the office, had record voter turnouts. A new type of politics, routed in the new realities of our hyperlinked world, has seemingly emerged, even if our two-party political system is still at an ideological impasse.

All in all, it’s good to be here. Enjoy the fireworks.
