In reply to the discussion: U.S. Downgraded to 'Non-Democracy' [View all]coprolite
(365 posts)82. Several days after the Nov Election
I attended a book signing and lecture by Chris La Tray, Montana's Poet Laureate.
Chris a member of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians, was sympathetic about the Harris' loss to Trump and reminded group about the long game.
It took the Little Shell Tribe a hundred and fifty years of lobbying Congress to finally fulfill Congress' obligation to set aside reservation lands that were promised to them in treaties.
His point, the democrats need to be in this for the long game, don't give up, keep pushing, one election are a time, always progress, even if it take awhile.

Yep. Not to mention that Trump should have -- and would have in a healthy democracy -- been in prison a few years back.

Exactly why it's important to vote each time for the BEST candidate on the ballot.
