Despair isn't lurking in the shadows anymore.

It’s here and it’s so easy to give into it. But now is the time to remember those who came before us and prevailed against supposedly insurmountable odds. Women weren’t “given” the right to vote anymore than African Americans were “given” the right to sit in the front of the bus. Those rights were fought for and we will have to fight for them again. We know how to do this. Those saying we can’t win are the same ones who said we couldn’t win before. They were wrong then and they’re wrong now.

It’s the having to do it again and again that’s maddening!

5. In the 60s and 70s,

we actually stopped a fucking war. It took a long time and a lot of work, but we got it done.

7. Yes, thank you.

They want us to despair and give up. I'll be damned if I'm going to give them what they want.

10. The PTB need to amass the brilliant thinkers to

meet and not leave until they have figure out a way forward. A plan to reverse this travesty that has befallen us It should be obvious to everyone that we as a party who care deeply need strategic savvy minds to guide us! Who would be the ones to organize this?
