I have spent the past year working intensively, day in and day out, on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
I have learned a lot from this experience.
One thing I have learned is this: the idea that politics or politicians are going to save the people who most need saving is magical thinking of the most childish kind.
Only people who need no saving, and who have millions for political campaigns, are going to be saved.
I am done with politics.
