• My bad: I should have said: “The American People”
• eg: “The American People like this or that”; “The American People voted for this or that”; “The American People will not stand for that”, etc

“American People”

• please stop using the term “American People” — unless of course — you define the term

• there are about 340,000,000 people in America and about 154,000,000 voted

• about half for Trump and half for Harris

• so, imo, stop saying “American People”

• Sen Warren: how do we “fight” back?
• March? Complain? Post things?
• storm the White House and poop on the Resolute Desk?
• “I have had enough?” Does that help?
• our moment to fight could have been forcing RBG to quit before she died or making Biden not run again

• How about this: “when they go low, we go high”
• does that help?

• no more information than that is needed
• the Republican party is immoral, dangerous and is destroying America
• but, the feckin eejit Democrats are also to blame: Obama, Clinton(s), Biden, Harris, etc
• Democratic Party, as it exists, has simply lost and allowed this to happen

!! @johnhmurphy.bsky.social · 3d

• The sacrifice has to happen sometime
• imo — Democrats must hold their position, which is: “The Republicans have “shut down” the government”
• the remedy: (1) complain, (2) vote every Republican out of office
• women’s health care, public health, gun control
• it isn’t close

My hindsight prognosis

• had Harris won — the entire country would be shut down from the violence

• Trump won — just the “government” is somewhat “shut down”
