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

Please follow Activist Headquarters.

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

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.
