The "Sound of Silence" from leaders is going to get us all killed.

While lie after lie after lie is spread about “radical left wing terrorists”
Which, by the way DO NOT EXIST

Who is calling out the lies on the big stage?
As far as I can tell, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.


Joe needs to take care of Joe.
And sincere best wishes for his health.

Expect zero from most media.

Party and dignitaries with clout are not standing up to this false and illegal barrage of direct threats
illegal under accepted interpretation of the first amendment.

And the Democratic party leadership?
NADA, ZILCH, ZIP, NIL, BUPKIS, RIEN
You’re as useless as bowling shoes at an ice rink.

^^^^^^^ Now is the time for the party to come to the aid of all good men. ^^^
And women and others.

Don’t wait for divine intervention. It ain’t happening.


So-called leaders.
Read this and get off your lame asses.
AND CALL OUT THE LIES FORCEFULLY AND REPEATEDLY
Or we all lose ours.

1. The world is increasingly controlled by businessmen

who want no government so they can control and exploit everything for profit. Hasn't been this way in the world since the dawn of stock markets, insurance, and capitalism in the era of the discovery of coal and the invention of railroads and the prominence of the slave trade.

It will be this way until lawyers or citizens are voted into power again. If it's not too late.

2. The fascists do not want to be called "fascists".

But the billionaires and corporations are taking over the world.

3. There are so many opportunities to get in front of the podium,

or grab a microphone, and set the record straight. Call out the lies!

So many missed opportunities!

Are the consultants and strategists telling them to "play nice"?

4. Obviously, nothing is coordinated.

It's like a Normandy invasion by a bunch of bass boats with soldiers armed with 22's.
And no communication in between.
An open letter to Democratic leaders. This is our Normandy. Marshall all our forces or lose to fascist rule.

I have never seen a party so discombobulated between elections, and it's only our lives that are at stake.

5. Exactly. Their ineptitude is risking OUR Democracy.

Some of the Dems in Congress are good at messaging, and correcting the record.

But I sometimes wonder if leadership is setting a tone that holds some of them back.

6. Nobody cares what Chuck Schumer has to say.

There are many liberals on social media that are pointing out the truth.

Charlie Kirk was not an elected official. There are many others like him that are more influential than Republcans in elected office.

This is something people here still can't get.

7. Ground Chuck?

I WANT FIGHTERS!
