I plead, but knock, knock, who's there.

An open letter to Democratic leaders. This is our Normandy. Marshall all our forces or lose to fascist rule.

At this point it's ON US.
Please follow Activist Headquarters.

The "Sound of Silence" from leaders is going to get us all killed.

A grassroots revolution is needed for the party to win.

The short of it is that AOC and Bernie Sanders (lately, just Bernie) have been barnstorming the county, including deep red districts, with resounding applause of their message, the short of which is:

The rich own 90% of the country, and are killing us. We need to put an end to rule by the wealthy, of the wealthy and for the wealthy.

And the party (well, you know) the party ain't going to take on the oligarchs, meaning they aren't going to take on the problem. And people focus on hot-button "rage" issues instead. Nothing gets solved. It only gets worse.

Details are at the above links.

Short version of our situation. GOP focuses on hit button rage issues and their colossal grand felony gets a pass.



The "TOUR" message is getting great response.
But, you know .....

It took only 22 years lol. And I know. I read all your posts about this. I have to tell you I’m in the valley of despair right now. I mean, if we can’t get pushback on the abuse, maybe at least articulate a vision for how the future might look different?

who can proclaim that vision and unify us around it, it doesnt matter what the vision is.

There are several who’d like to be that person, but I cant point to any particular one who stands above. And I cant even remember the name of the DNC head is. Absent a Democratic President, Speaker or Majority Leader, you’d think the DNC head would step in. I never see him or her anywhere.

I see the pushback by No Kings and Indivisible, but who is creating a permanent policy presence?

DU?

Less the bickering. (OMG the bickering)

I posted the "Bernie Tour" mostly economic issues. That was the point of the tour. Root causes.

I don't want to downplay critical social issues.

The party doesn't want to offend oligarchs.

Maybe I'll start a thread, but this format is not so suited to refinement of a message or alternatives.

More like a github free, but it would require new accounts, since I don't expect DU to implement single signing. They might just have to be separate from DU, perhaps by invitation managed by someone at DU. OR have the github account owner check DU credentials.

I could start an OP responsive to replies, but that could grow into a very large and controversial job.

My ignore list is pretty big, so I am not terrifically neutral.

I could start with Bernie's mostly economic, "tour" issues and add my old post about values.

As a starting point.

From Bernie:

how's that for starters....
