They do this every time. And we capitulate. We're doing it again. [View all]

What?

When the job-killers, oligarchs, climate-change deniers, capitalists, robber barons, Wall St. thugs et al want something RAMMED through no matter HOW damned awful it is for the rest of us, for our natural environment, for our economy, for our jobs and salaries, for our health or for our LIVES - they just keep RAMMING AND RAMMING AND RAMMING - until they wear us down (which doesn't take long 'cause our attention span is that of a gnat and complacency reigns supreme) and ALWAYS get what THEY want at our grave expense. EVERY. TIME.

Once again, we give up. Shrug our shoulders. And whine when it's all over and they won. Again.

WHAT THE HELL AM I TALKING ABOUT? Well...

We have LESS THAN 24 HOURS to SLAM these idiot so-called "Democrats" with tweets, emails, phone calls. Nancy Pelosi TOLD US in no uncertain terms that WE were the reason TAA and thus Fast Track failed in the house the first time. And STILL the shoulders shrug, the eyes droop and the excuses fly.

Seriously? No wonder we're losing this country to the oligarchs. WE REFUSE TO KEEP UP THE FIGHT! Meanwhile, the oligarchs are ramming and ramming and ramming and ramming 24 x 7 x 365 x infinity to get what they want. THEY'LL FIGHT. WE -- won't. Evidently.

I'll wait to see all the whining and heartbroken posts here after Fast Track and TPP passes. "Ohhh we don't have any say in our own government anymore" - Here's the thing: YOU. HAVE. TO. SAY. SOMETHING. BEFORE. THEY. WILL. HEAR. YOU. LOUD - 24 x 7 x 365 x infinity. RELENTLESSLY.

It's not a 2-day fight. PARTICIPATE in your Democracy. Every minute of every day. Or LOSE IT.

That's the bottom line. That we failed to do so for the past 60 years is how we got here. Status quo won't cut it.
