What we value is Democratic Ideals... then it is up to each of us, to contribute to spreading information to help people think and learn of what we must do, what we face and what we must bond together and support, as well as what we must promote to help bond people into the support of ideas for the future.
You thoughts and ideas matter, please be of acceptance of that, and be of the conviction to share and promote your ideas.
Reluctance will not serve us well, and we can't just rely on the politicians to spread the word, we have to be the politicians as citizens, because elected politicians job and role is to represent what we believe. They can't do that, if we don't tell them and stand behind what we believe.
The internet is a great tool that has given us means to share our voices, and spread our voices in ways we never had before.
Use it.... but to let threads die a death in a day, does not benefit us. Its unfortunate we don't have means to "pin" a topic or thread of discussion, and its not a good things that such forums don't have the means to promote itself into the main stream media and places for general acceptance. As it is currently true, that millions of American, don't even know this site exist.
But people can make it known that it exist, by sharing links on every social media platform, by sharing likes in the billions of text that are sent, by making conversation of the points we come to believe in.. That's the work we can do, and it cost us absolutely nothing to do so, other than a few moments of time, to insert a link and click send or click post.
We can know this works if we consider how well the young people at Parkland, used social media, text messaging and every tool the internet provides to spread their messages and they did it in record time. The women's march used it and amassed massive numbers of women to participate in the march.
We must all take an active part in as many ways as we can. Or we leave ourselves at a disadvantages, when the Republican Narratives dominate the Media TV.
I don't know any other way to try to appeal to people the need to spread truths that need to be spread to help open and support the minds that Love America and Love American Democracy.
I've reached over 1.8 million people utilizing forums on just one other site, as well as I post commentary frequently on news articles, as well as my own blog, and any place I see to write where others may read with commentary about a variety of subjects that support the challenges we face within making a better democracy. Others use various forms of activism, but we can leave no means unused.... What's at stake is the Ideals of Democracy we know, and want.
