Any "process" or "prepositioning" should be done based on the objective of restoring this profession and our careers. I think the following saying applies pretty well here: "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything."
I would say that why it is worth less is probably something that many Americans in many different skilled, and professional jobs wonder. My lawyers wonder the same thing, my doctors are perplexed too.
As for the first part, how one votes in a recall is about the job being performed, the confidence that your concerns that you have individually brought up multiple times will go away, and the concerns of multiple Reps on both sides of the vote of this being in front of us again in a few months will never happen, not about philosophies. Its about confidence and not letting some fear cover your concerns that you had well before a recall process even started. Its not politics, but its convenient to label it that.
