31. It's a crazy electorate.

I think that all the really thinking people are on our side, and the others just vote some negative reaction to this or that, prejudiced by RW media, or at least the lack of counterbalance.


So they gotta get pissed off at something. Whether it's TrumpStein or the stonewalling or the destruction of the People's House, maybe that moves them.

The abstainers? Perhaps not thinking and not pissed off enough to get off the couch. Sorry bunch, but let them get pissed off at the above if they awake from their stupor.

I have argued that the Democrats need a revolutionary attitude.

Our progressive wing, you know the names, is doing that. Sanders, AOC, Warren, Pritzker, Crockett, Pete can't spell, maybe others.

I posted about Indivisible and NoKings being the de-facto party.

Beats invisible.

I want fighters.

I read that a lot of people voted for the hell-raiser, not knowing what hell they were getting.

FAFO.

Might need updating?

Raise hell. I expect a lot of horrible people to be entering there for the hell they brought to so many on earth.
