(388 posts)The performative stuff that videos like this call for rarely focus on the fact that the voters didnt do what we needed to do. Calling for people in the streets sounds great but where is that same energy for actually voting to give our leaders the numbers to actually do something?

(2,112 posts)Hi !
We do have a Blue Wave of voters, Ive been on many calls - 2024 election that explained the good turnout.
Yet, the republicans are suppressing votes in RED counties and perhaps electronic manipulation. Dont trust the count , theres ,any competent analysts who have posted data about irregularities in swing states.
The reason why people are complacent ?!?
We NEED TO PUSH them ! Do you remember the speeches on the steps of the statehouses and city halls BY DEMS, teach ins, nightly news and reporters covering the VietNam war?
That convinced people that we were being lied to. NOW, we need to flood social media and occupy the public areas in front of stadiums, restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, shopping districts. ALL THE TIME! Set up a table and invite respectful dialogue.
I think may be too late.

Oligarchs and the insane concentration of wealth.
EVERYONE but a few suffer from this. Red, blue, purple, you name it.
The few are "The Epstein Class"
Fair share zero? F-them.
EAT THE RICH

We have leaders.
I have already endorsed one who can smash maga in its hypocritical hateful Antichrist mouth.

A man in the footsteps of Dr. Martin Luther King.

Will somebody please tell him to run?
And so many others with a PROGRESSIVE agenda.
Why? IT WINS.

More later!

(25,654 posts)Indivisible/No Kings has by far the best street turnout organization I've ever seen, and their organized march last month had under 9 million. That's a third of what you're saying Dems should have called for last year. And last month's protests took place after "Operation Epstein File" began, after the current insanity re-started the bombing, after a school for little girls was reduced to rubble killing hundreds of kids within.
What do you think happens if, last year, Democratic leadership calls for 25 million people in the streets and under 10 million show up? What's going to lead in the coverage? That's correct, more stories about how weak and useless "establishment" Democrats are, and how they don't represent the general population. And then more braggadocio from F47. So... a whole lot more of the same. Be careful what you ask for.

In Baseball. .300 batting average is excellent in baseball. The player FAILS 70% of time.

Transcript:
You sweep the leg, slam your fist into their throats, knee them in the nuts." Met I'm speaking metaphorically, okay?
I'm not telling anyone to be physical and violent. [music]
This is the problem. Republicans get in and they nominate the most far-right,
completely insane nut jobs that they can find. [music] And then Democrats get in and they try to put in these moderates.
Where has that gotten us? We now have Americans who have been executed in the streets. We have innocent immigrants sent to torture prisons. Trump is violating the Constitution, breaking laws on a daily basis, all of the corruption. So yeah, it we're done. We're freaking done. If they don't get tough and if they don't start going hard in the paint for their own voters and for their own base,
they're going to be voted out.
.....................
Actually, she seems to be talking about more than just leadership. Hmmm, so we are going to primary everyone that we deem to be weak and feckless?

(2,112 posts)That has been used to move centrist Dems to the LEFT! You tell them to get onboard with FDR type of legislation and start cutting military aide to nations who commit war crimes. Obama did this, as did Nancy Pelosi. I think LBJ was a master of arm twisting !
He got the civil rights legislation and the great society legislation passed! Its been done.
Im not going to take the bait, to name names
as I expect Ill be reported.
Id suggest you peruse the members of Congress and ask who has gone to mat to save our democracy for the children.

(97,695 posts)that are voting for Military aid, etc and have to be moved, shoved, bullied towards the LEFT!? I think our Democrats are pretty united...Fetterman excluded.
You do know that we have good Dems running/winning in purple and red states. correct? They can't run far LEFT and win.
