HEY DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP! I know you troll this place. Listen up.

162. I'd rather encourage action than support inaction

But yeah, I suppose if people want to think they are making a difference, a real contribution, by posting on the internet (often completely disregarding/denigrating all the hard work actually being done by actual human beings) who am I to take that illusion from them?

I'll tell you who, I am someone who is a nobody from nowhere who got pissed off and got active. Found a lot of like minded souls to work with and we made a big difference in a huge part of my state. Just regular people who had to learn as we went but learn we did! Some of the people I was fortunate enough to be able to help built such a great organization their (relatively useless) local party (which inspired the founding of this new org.) now pretty much defers to them.

I've seen it happen, I know it can be done. Sadly too many refuse to believe it or perhaps it is too much trouble, I don't know but I have a hard time having a whole lot of respect for those who can plainly see we are in dire straights here that can content themselves with stone throwing from the sidelines.

But oh yes, every opinion deserves equal weight. Those whose world is the internets obviously are in as a good a position to know what's going on than those who are actually there on the ground. At least that is what we are suppose to believe our leadership thinks? Well if you believe they read DU for guidance then yes, that's how you see it.

Uh-huh. Got it.
