This election brings an interesting irony. Many progressive Friends supported Harris, because of her views on human rights and social justice; however, we dropped the ball on peace. We ignored the fact that the draft dodger candidate was positioning himself as the "peace" candidate. We ignored the fact that the popularity of Sanders on the left and Trump on the right indicated strongly that the majority of Americans want to step down from being the world's policeman. We went for the hawks: Hilary, Biden, and Harris. We shot ourselves in the foot. Peace has to be a bigger priority.
