Most of the Trump zombies think McCain and Graham are traitors. I saw some meme on FB lumping McCain in with some treasonous bs post along with Obama and Hillary. So they are already trying to discredit McCain.

But someone besides dems need to do something. Or something so damning needs to drop on a news organization, something irrefutable.

even right now, with town halls across this nation erupting with those afraid of losing their ACA insurance Republicans are not getting it.
Protest are happening everyday in this country and the right is unmoved by the public and the numbers in the Streets.

its going to take a radical movement to make things happen in D.C. We progressives and democrats must unite for one common cause.
We don't want another Occupy Wall Street it lacked focus. The ideals was there and the movement had power, but Everyone wanted something different, more or less what we are seeing now.

A clear platform is what we need, with real progressive agenda that everyone can see as for the better of the country.

It is clear this administration is out to undo everything the Obama administration enacted.
Equality; women reproductive rights, racial, religious minorities, immigrants, lgbtq, workers rights, environmental (climate change) and the list goes on and on.

Republicans stand for none of this because their constituents do not believe there is a problem within this country on matters that do not directly effect them. This is where grassroots come into play, until it directly effects each and every household in America, they will be unmoved.

That's where we come in, changing hearts and mind, putting faces and their stories... showing real Americans are effected by the policies this administration is purposing to enact.
