What Progressives Can Do
Despite our victories in popularity, it still seems the ship is sinking, and the SS Rove is still lobbing missles at the deck.

So what can you do in the face of Complete GOP dominance of the media, Congress, Supremes, Presidency and Business?

Boycott, and LET THEM KNOW YOU ARE BOYCOTTING

Get off fossil fuels. This hurts them, trust me. That's why they aren't pushing hybrids. At the very least, buy hybrid. At the most, buy a hybrid, and get the conversion kit to make it chargeable, and install solar panels. Get off the grid. Go biodiesel.

Vote, but have very low expectations. They control the voting machines, the districting and the vote counting. Beat the streets and get people fired up, so that when 80% votes for the good candidate in exit polls, and the final count shows 51-49 in their favor - they get mad. You get mad. You all demand answers. Get on the streets, make like minded people as ANGRY AS YOU ARE.

And above all, remember Mike Malloy's words of wisdom

"there are some good Republicans," but explaining "You know... I tried to be Mr. Nice Guy... I used to be on CNN's Talkback Live. I tried to be a nice man... you know, don't get ugly. What did I get for it? Pushed into the wall. Screw 'em."

This means, all Republicans (yes all of them) are your enemy

Flyover America is run by your enemy.

We are at war, ladies and gentlemen...and the warzone is Rational America vs. Flyover America.
