In reply to the discussion: The Rude Pundit: Note to Democrats: We're Freaking the Fuck Out and You're Not Helping Us Enough [View all]Hitorque
(254 posts)3. I still believe any real rally must have two things to work
1. It's got to be from the bottom-up instead of the top-down
2. It's got to be 100 fucking percent unified along a single idea, which is eliminating Trump AND Trumpism. It can't be "I hate Trump but I'll only join in if the Dems also center MY pet issue!" Because Repubs have been exploiting pet issues on the left to divide our support for decades now and it still keeps happening... And elected Dems need to stop straddling the fence with "I may hate Trump but I have to temper my comments because my seat is purple!"

Tired "old" Dems... where are the fighters? Where are the young leaders? Where is old Nancy P now that we need energy?

That's it. We know the deck is stacked. We know things will probably fail. But get out there anyway

Perhaps more Democrats will begin to understand why we lost twice to the demagogue.
