No we agree. I was thinking about a particular thing that happened over a low cost housing thing getting voted down, which as a matter of policy was not hung on the necks of Republicans as likely the Dems where counting on the same donors, small and large alike

In strong NIMBY spots you're definitely right. Here in NEOH too.

Funny how everyone is an activist till it's time to get elbow deep in the shit.

I'll pass it along. I was writing an exit note but let's see what they say.

I'm asking because I am losing hope working with a Democratic group where I was told today; "If we jump at every crazy thing they say, we wouldn't get anything done"

Do you as the person you are expect the Dem party to have a response to this?

I think they do. I think they have a duty too.

Dude made his bank of what was a whole organization based on thinly veiled hate speech. I can't believe all of this performative compassion.

Dudes had jokes over Paul Pelosi getting a hammer to the face and not one of them blinked.

There is a civil rights battle we are leaving on the table. No amount of songs or bullhorns or postcards or appeals to the middle is going to change that.

We are going to lose if we don't know who we are.

Well what the hell you can be balls to the wall sending junk mail and spam calling it doesn't bug you that we are leaving out a constituency that fucking hates our guts cause we refuse to represent them?

Look i respect the effort and everything everyone is doing. I am working on this kind of shit too

But none of this matters if we don't court the left and disenfranchised youth as hard as we hedge for moderates and protect the emotions of boomers that don't want to confront their personal biases.

Then let me be clear, if you're telling me you haven't run full speed into disillusionment after being told they don't have the courage to champion real progressive Values while crying about how to bring in moderate conservative voters (gettable Republicans) where do you fall in the debate?

Oh you don't think I'm already working inside the process and I'm speaking from first hand knowledge looking formerly and hopeful candidates directly in their eyes. You think I'm not involved.

*You* doing anything material to increase the chances of local, state, and federal Democrats?
