Left versus Right as a Political shorthand is nonsense. The true Political spectrum is Libertarian versus Authoritarian

Citizen Activists
Historian Peter Dreir's interview with Bill Moyers "Saving Democracy is up to Citizen Activists" illustrates how important it is to ignore federalism and act locally. I think the town of Richmond, California is brilliant in taking a local action by declaring eminent domain on the financially underwater properties in its jurisdiction to then resell back to the previous owner's at a fair current market value. On the other hand a citizen's action against global warming is just a waste of time that can be ignored by the big interests, Richmond's action can't be. I am rooting for them big time.
