In reply to the discussion: The Rude Pundit: This Horrible Belief About the Election and What to Do With It [View all]The_Voice_of_Reason
(274 posts)Fact is, the Dems have been all but missing in action since election today...Donna Brazile for instance has been invisible since election day until she magically appeared again today on Twitter as if risen from the dead...she immediately blocked me when I pointed out she should have spent more time supporting the party, and less time collecting a paycheck from CNN who eventually fully and completely terminated their contract/involvement with her. Funny thing...she was tell us WE HAD TO FIGHT.
Where are our leaders? Almost to a one, MIA...why? I think they place far more importance in the concept of "Peaceful Transition" that we grassroots folks do. However, are we any less culpable in our silence? Where have the large protests been, why aren't we out in the streets protesting? Millions of us in the streets protesting will at least get us listened to.
The only march of any importance is scheduled to be the day after the Inauguration when a One Million Woman march is to occur in DC...those things rarely live up to their hype. I have had some interest shown in my proposal that we turn Inauguration day into a "Nation in Mourning Protest" across all 50 states with everyone in black carrying our protest signs in a silent vigil, but not enough that I expect it to catch on.
I give almost zero chance of the Hamilton Voters overturning Trumps win on Monday...so, we have been tossed to the wolves, and our leaders are showing no interest in saving our lives.
