Day 193:
When your enemy is weak, you attack!:
It might not seem like it, but the ever wilder thrashing that is going on at the white house is a sign of great weakness in our government. Trump can’t lead, the republicans can’t govern, and crucially the democrats wont fight.
But they could be made to fight, by us. If we could transplant a spine into the democratic party (or just get rid of most of them and replace them with real progressives…), now would be the perfect time to roll out a real positive, utopian, message for the future of America.
$15 minimum wage
100% renewable energy
Ending the wars
Free public college
Universal single payer health care
MONEY OUT OF POLITICS (even if it takes a constitutional amendment)
It’s never been a better time to start fighting for what we stand FOR not just what we are AGAINST.
You can’t fight something with nothing!
