General Discussion

as a general rule--isn't working for us?

I am so tired of this "branding" crap. "The Democratic Brand" is mythology. Sure, we can watch our language and try hard not to be smug--that makes sense. But the "elitist" label has been applied through years of well-funded distortion. It's all part of the successful divide and conquer strategy.

We need to be MORE activist. We who want something better than this nightmare state of division and corruption, we who know there can be no compromise with criminal sociopaths, must stand up. A strong rejection of this regime should speak to any American, regardless of political party. If we can't call these Disruptors "Nazis, racists and sexists" NOW -- then when? Seems pretty plain-spoken to me, not at all high falutin. Even as they deny it, they can see the truth of it. Everyone who voted MAGA--rich, poor or in between, should be doing a whole lot of soul-searching right now. What were they thinking?

This situation has gone beyond party politics and polite discourse. We should not be worried about courting the hardcore right wing, who will fight us to the death. No percentage in that. We should be speaking FOR the middle of the roaders, who are afraid to speak. Speaking for all those who DO get the Big Picture now, no matter where they have been.
