Tuesday

The problem is that we are more interested in being nice to Republicans and pleasing big donors than we are in fighting back; more interested in beating down the Left tha taking on the extreme right. The Republicans are able to block or cripple the Democrats even when they don't control the legislature. When they can't do that, they go on an all out propaganda blitz on multiple levels.

All social and political change start with, is driven by, advocacy, militant action outside of the electoral process, not the right number of butts in seats in the legislature.

Enough with the excuses.
