We also need to build bridges with groups who may seem to be less natural allies to grow solidarity across ideological spectra, and learn to adjust our message while not abandoning our beliefs.
Won't happen from within the Dem party. What was done to Bowman demonstrates that. The big money supports itself, not the people. And a third party will be difficult to form. Dems have made that route extremely difficult.
Then it needs to be done without the system's help. Sadly, that's always been true. All the dems ever did was buy you all time, and that time's running out. You need to come together and be there for each other, with or without the dems.
🎯 If people would just turn out to vote. We were too complacent for way too long and this is what that complacency has gotten us. I want to punch people when they say “voting doesn’t matter”. I should say Dems, b/c NEVER in my life have I heard a Republican utter those words.
Ok, fine, I'll take a senate spot from Illinois. Happy to jump down to house if someone more experienced wants to bump me.
So that's two seats down.a few hundred more and we're off to the races.
Thinking POTUS was enough was how we got into this mess. People didn't vote in 2014, giving SCOTUS appointments to Mitch & setting the stage for Trump to fill said appointments.
What? No! Biden has been handed a loaded gun RIGHT NOW. He's been dealt Five of a Kind from the stacked deck meant for Trump.
Fuck coalitions, play the goddamn hand! Its like we're desperate to play out Weimar II. Just use the fucking powers!
Remember (those of you who have read that one book) that it was, in part, the weakened and disunited state of unions that contributed to the ease of the rise of Nazis in 1930s Germany.
Yep! 🎯 That! Dem voting records are abysmal and then at every election we hear “we keep voting but nothing changes “, which first, isn’t true, but secondly, only a fraction of the electorate is carrying the entire load for all the mouth breathers bitching about wanting changes.
I am totally on board with that, Rabbi, but most people* aren't doing that, they're just demanding their coalition partners tie themselves to deadweight idiotic strategies that don't build power
*Not you! Loved the NCJW protest on abortion rights at the Capitol, for example!
