Exactly. This is the part of talk. Time to be the party that does. It’s time to do.

Hell yes. Fight for once. Give the people a reason to think they stand for something. Define themselves rather than letting everyone else define them. It’s time to do.

I don’t know what you’re complaining about, the people in that video seemed all white to me. Sorry, slip of the tongue. I meant “alright” to me.

(But seriously, this group of people look like Casper after laundry day…)

Words are words, and actions are actions — the Democratic Party has been telling people for years, but if they have “zero credibility” it’s because their actions don’t match.

I agree that this isn’t the real problem, and may well be the right choice. But it was also one of the first significant decision points for the party — and I think people are just worried about what it says for future decisions, and for whether the party will change or not.

A lot of voters apparently think the current Democratic Party is not worth their vote. So, sure, the party is prone to circular firing squads. That’s a problem. But that doesn’t mean all criticism of its strategy is wrong, or must be avoided — and now is the right time to start to change.

Precisely. People think it’s either that (a) Trump is doing what Democrats say he’s doing, and it is as bad as Democrats say it is, and yet the Democrats aren’t taking any action to protect America or (b) Democrats are blowing smoke, just like Fox and everyone else.

I can think of only one, Kwame Kilpatrick, but the reason he’s free is that his sentence was commuted by Donald Trump. It turns out the only thing more important to Trump than racism is making sure criminal politicians go free.

This is why it’s important to constantly remind Trump supporters that they own this. They either supported what he said he’d do or didn’t believe he do what he said — but either way, they voted for these policies and on their heads be it.

Just like Trump’s fake ear bandage….

It’s like pro wrestling at this point — even though most people know it’s fake they just don’t care.

Never do for money what other people will do for love.

Teachers, to their unending credit, are willing to keep teaching for the kids through some awful circumstances — but since schools know that, they have no incentive to make the circumstances better, or pay them what they’re worth.
