(37,221 posts)"We" changed to "all of us"? And what would "everything we can" look like. Just calling out? What would that do.
As I've already said, easier said than done.
And as I implied above, at length, we are past the years of 'public awareness' building. "We" have talked our brains out. Won court cases beyond any reasonable doubts. Collected evidence, got 91 felony counts against a former occupant of the WH.
It's one reason why most Americans know the score (besides from direct experience). The "we" you speak of has done its job.
It's the doing time now. THAT is the "we" I'm referring to. The we who can but does not DO.
The same "we" I've described above, who sit in halls of power and accountability and STILL haven't done enough focusing beyond their next election to "hold" even themselves accountable.
Add to that the fact that the 'we' you refer to, has to right now pay attention to too much that's performative bullshit -- like one party that's threatening to shut govt down.
You and I are talking past each other, Think.
So let's just say we agree that not enough is being done at scale by whoever should be earning what we pay them to do (as Nancy would say, "for the children" ).
If you think we should have an official statement from DU to the people that you list, try something new to swivel their heads. Because legislators need help legislating. Consumers are busy earning to consume, or even just get food, housing and real health care that cares. Discussion board members discuss.
The focus here should be on Who is REALLY in a position to DO what you say in a country that's in a perpetual "state of emergency."
Letters and petitions have been proven not to work. Those are out. We've done phone calls and left messages. That's not working well enough, though it's said to be the "most impactful" means of communicating. I'm not prioritizing this to deal with, but I appreciate that you want to.
