General Discussion

If "we're ALL in the resistance now" as you say, then why are you relentlessly attacking fellow Democrats who happen to disagree with you? Your post is insulting, demeaning and condescending. How does that help build unity?

You say "this is legislating time." I say this is protest time. This is resistance time. This is mass organizing time. This is agitation time.

I say this is a time of great crisis and that legislation cannot address this crisis, anymore than legislation could have ended slavery without there first being a militant mass movement of resistance to slavery, the Abolition movement. That movement did not reserve its criticism only or the overtly pro-slavery party. No, the Whigs came under heavy criticism as well.

You say "we are the ultimate engines of our democracy" yet you object to anything other than calling into line with the leadership, and try to smash up those "ultimate engines of democracy."

You say we should not criticize Democrats. But by that you mean don't criticize Democrats in power. Yet you ruthlessly go after rank and file Democrats - "the ultimate engines of our democracy." In other words, punch down, but don't punch up?
