We're fighting "The Empire". Sounds familiar.

My opinions and questions.
What do you say?


Many days, my commute to work was past the Lexington Green.
The Red, White and Blue owe a lot to the rag-tag rebels who repelled the well-equipped and well-organized permanent army of redcoats.

The red hats aim to replace the Red, White and Blue with one of their own.


So here's the challenge for Democrats.

What are you and I going to do about it?

There are some organizations that have steadfastly supported Democracy and Justice.
SPLC is one. And there are others, but nothing like the Oligarch Army of media, institutions (like Hoover, which sucks), and other groups that are a constant presence.

Seekers of Justice are not allied.
There is at least one organization that seeks to coordinate efforts..

So, I found ONE.

The Democratic Party? Why, leadership changes constantly. It's happening right now
Our past presidents and leaders have not maintained a "permanent" presence guiding and coordinating the battle, no doubt because they don't want to seem "partisan" in primaries.

Republican party leadership since roughly the breakup of the USSR has remained mostly unchanged in its goal and "capo".


This is the problem of a Democracy.
How do we preserve it when the other side solves the problem by eliminating it?
The answer is likely to be organizing from the ground up.
I have made and continue to make suggestions on the tools available to do this.

But who leads the way, above the usual primary fray?

Is there a new Dr. Martin Luther King?
An American Gandhi, Nelson Mandela or Desmond Tutu?
Howard Zinn, Benjamin Spock, Daniel Berrigan, and others outside the political races are gone.

These were all visionaries more than organizers. (it varies, of course)
The party of Putin has more or less permanent organizers and propagandists and a "rotating racist" as a candidate.
How convenient!

Who has the skill with people and organizing/managing?
We have several. Look at the enormous skills of the Clintons, Barack Obama and Joe Biden
"but the primaries".
