10. Don't be distracted.

Don't do like republicans and blow up everytime something you perceive a criticism.

Read the article again. Take a breath and read it another time.

The NYT (an organization that I do not trust or believe practices good journalism) did not say these things. Their reporting is that the organizers of the march said them. Do you believe that they are not correct to say that the organizers are frustrated with the Democrats in Washington? Then say that.

Do you think that the people who, against all odds and without a lot of help from the DNC, actually turned Georgia blue are not unhappy that Washington Democrats have blown a year of effort and political capital fighting for ephemeral things? Then tell the marchers they are wrong. (But you would be wrong if you thought that.)

Nothing that the party has accomplished will last 18 months without Voting Rights action. People are marching to say that Washington has been led around by republicans to kill time until they can undo everything. The have not had their eye on the ball.

The article and OP that has thrown you into screaming (that's what all caps means) fits does not do any of the things you claim it does. When you want to blame the fake media because they are reporting our mistakes, you are only giving Washington excuses for not doing what needs to be done.
