For me, the alternative is to answer the question, "when better than anything else isn't good enough, what then?"

It is heartening to see that at least one of the tactics I've suggested seems to have taken hold. Nice to think I had some small part in helping that to happen, but not likely.
Still thinking out-of-the-box tactical.

our idealism about democracy needs revision. It should be clear that the fundamental flaw in the concept of democracy, despite all its other imperfections, is that democracy cannot protect itself against democracy. The alternative is not some species of autocracy. Something yet to be discovered.

I'm afraid their rigging is now being done to predict outcomes 4 years in advance, or how to not have elections at all. I think we'd better think beyond the normal-times playbook on politics and elections. We don't live in that reality any more.

Good to think, perhaps, but not necessarily good to eat. It's a prevalent mythology- the good prevail in the end; the "arc of history bends...", blah, blah, blah. If all it was used for was a morale booster, that would be fine. We use it to devise tactics and determine outcomes. That's dangerous.

If its about the 'Just Say No!' and 'Get to a Free-state' campaigns, I see how a first reaction might be "What about us men?" Indeed, men and women will suffer this tactic, alike. But It's the only thing I can think of, and its all in the hands of women to do. Men can support them, but that's all.

I'm sorry to say that is not at all what I've suggested. Educative to some, perhaps, but mostly speaking to the choir. What I suggest is actually hosting Town Halls for red voters, going and listening to them, answering their questions, honestly. Not giving them a Dem's vision. Much more effective.

Much obliged. Not many visit my work. Much appreciate your visit.

If you're asking who should host Town Halls for Republicans, to hear their grievances and answer questions Republicans are refusing to, I think every Congressperson should go to any red districts near them, all across the country. We should host them everywhere. Let them know we will listen.

This broadside is kind of obsolete - poems/stories/art will still be taken and received, but people should simply go to this group and join it,
www.facebook.com/groups/pad.a...
they can post their voices to the Dark Ages there.

Sorry, we just handed over unlimited power to a Mad King. Those projects will need to be postponed for a little while. A thousand years or so. That's the typical length of a Dark Ages.

Funny they don't say, when measles is spreading in their states or natural disasters wipe them out, "It's god(s) punishment."

The game was always there, right in front of us. We've ignored the warnings for 150 years. Now, it's too little, too late, as usual. The Dark Ages have arrived.

Sorry, your apology is not accepted. The free world will leave you to your own self-inflicted misery. No trade, no travel, no communications at all. You've infected enough of the world already.
