The statement 'Change is coming…' is a response to a conversation about the power dynamics within the U.S. government, specifically addressing concerns about the influence of the federal bureaucracy. This constitutes public discourse as it engages with a substantive public issue regarding governance and constitutional principles.

1. Principle 1:

   I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

   The statement does not directly cause harm, but its vague nature could lead to misinterpretation or concern without further context.
2. Principle 3:

   I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.

   The statement lacks clarity and does not actively promote understanding, empathy, or compassion. It is more of a declarative statement without elaboration. [-1]
3. Principle 4:

   I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.

   The statement does not engage in constructive criticism or dialogue, nor does it involve personal attacks. It is a simple assertion without further discussion.
4. Principle 6:

   I will use my influence for the betterment of society.

   The statement implies a call for change, which could be seen as using influence for societal betterment, but it lacks specifics on how this change should occur.
5. Principle 7:

   I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.

   The statement upholds free speech but does not provide enough context or responsibility in its use of the platform, as it leaves much open to interpretation. [-1]
