Why is it so hard for Dems to AT LEAST hold a press conference.

44. We face terrible odds, but much of that is because there hasn't been much fight for a long time

Maybe the game is already lost. Maybe there is truly nothing we can do now.

Many of us are frustrated because we have been trying to sound the alarms for a generation or more, always to face a chorus of "Just sit down and shut up. The system is strong. It will take care of itself."

Well, it didn't. It could be that Trump will succeed in installing such a totalitarian government that we all end up in prison or worse. But in that case, the regime can eventually round all of us up anyway based on the vast amount of data already controlled by the Big Data companies, so what is gained by lying low? If we still have a pulse -- and I am told that if comment about elected Democrats I will be banned here, so I won't say anything about the quality of opposition at the Party level -- we should be using every breath we have to fight this to the end.
