Raskin is eloquently speaking on CSPAN right now, but where in the F**K is the MSM, CNN and MSNBC showing it?

[JohnSJ]

They are missing in action.

When the nazi calls a phoney "new conference" months before the election, they had no problem covering it.

The MSM IS PART OF THE PROBLEM.

2. Congressmen are a dime a dozen

That he is on C-Span is fine.

We need former Presidents giving speeches and having rallies. We need an opposition. Before there is a resistance, we need to have a leader. i.e. opposition first, then resistance.

We have neither.





EDIT: Trump has explicitly said he'd consider a 3rd term, so Obama should be out there campaigning. Even if that is bluster, it keeps eyes focused on the problem. If it prevents Trump from considering a 3rd term, all the better.

4. It's a ton of Dems in front of USAID

[mr715]

5. Big ones

National profile.

And media leaders, athletes, pop music, doctors. Everyone.

10. When you put sports and entertainment celebrities in the mix

you drain all the seriousness from it. Then it becomes a sideshow instead of hard core.

[mr715]

17. Oh yeah

Its so serious that a circus clown is President.

I agree that, in a vacuum including more factions dilutes the overall message, but if the message is "I'm against fascism," it shouldn't be that hard to cobble together.

6. it's getting quite humorous

[mr715]

7. ?

What is?

[stillcool]

9. Democratic Congresmen

or Democratic members of Congress are a dime a dozen...I guess you refer to Senators as well. I find it humorous to read that here.

[mr715]

16. It was glib

I am referring to the relative prestige they are conventionally ascribed, and to the House specifically. My government teacher in HS said it once in reference to the special little subway trolly senators get, that representatives don't go on. He said with a deadpan, "Representatives are a dime a dozen,"

It isn't my intention to be disrespectful. I think we have the potential to find meaningful opposition, I'm not sure where it will come from.

8. Now as always the US news media are owned by the

very wealthy. Indy news outlets are dying as is print journalism. Dems need to find another way to get their message out.

11. Tbh, it's going to take time to rev up the outrage machine

Have to start somewhere though.

At least they’ve started!!

12. "The revolution will not be televised."

We learned that many years ago.

14. They're showing trump talking to reporters

and taking softball questions while the press treats him SOOO politely. Priorities, you know.
