(21,146 posts)"them" to take? As a Dem, what specific actions are YOU taking? Besides posting complaints on DU?
I see a lot of action going on. I see people donating to the Georgia runoff in order to gain control of the Senate. I see people doing phone banking for Georgia Dem candidates, and giving public support in social media.
I see Pelosi and Schumer negotiating the best deal they were able to get under the present circumstances and determined to work for more when President Biden takes office.
I see Trump and his allies being called out by Dem leaders, in social media and TV interviews.
I see how the steady, determined work of getting through the obstacles to impeachment undercut the Trump smear against Biden so that Biden became our very successful candidate.
I think the kind of flashy fighting that you are calling for would look good and accomplish little besides increasing the vitriol and pushing people to dig in even deeper in opposition to each other.
Sometimes steady, hard work is not immediately gratifying, but pays off much more in the long run than flashy battles of the moment. Why feed the R's with battles for a position that we have already won, like the presidency and preservation of democracy - this time around.
For those who like battles, there will be plenty to engage in when we have the upper hand and the fascists try to undercut us. For now, let's focus on the Georgia battle to gain the upper hand and then use it wisely and strategically when we do have it.
