Interesting microcosm of some of the issues and obstacles witth which

we are dealing.

I was at our Drinking Liberally meeting last night. I am usually the first one there. As I was waiting for our group, two women came in, who turned out to be with Indivisable, who were also meeting (first time I had ever seen or heard of a local chapter). Even though I invited them to join us, they stayed to themselves. So, issue one. Issue two. Several members of our group were talking about the protest rally at City Hall the other day, some 400 people. An impressive turnout here in fundieville, and given the weather. The problem? Our local Dem party emails made absolutely NO mention of this, only about the new officers, and candidates for city council.

It was all very frustrating.

1. Our Dems need to

Lead
Follow
or Get out of the way

So far they haven't committed to any of these.

2. And communicate with each other, and us.
