"You gotta dig a little deeper in the well".

Democrats (all of us) need to decide what we stand for and be willing to fight for it.

If we believe in Social Security, we need to let the politicians know that if they vote against us, then we will vote against them.

If we believe in a progressive income tax, then we need not be ashamed to fight for fairness in our tax code.

If we believe that we are spending too much on the Pentagon, then we need to say so, and start cutting unaffordable and unneeded defense projects.

If we believe that a growing middle class is the way to fix this economy, then we need to support those programs that bring about that end.

If we believe Republican policies are destructive for this country and our people, then we need to say it. We need to stop playing the "bi-partisan" bullshit game.

2. Yup, it's time to stand the hell up --

and say what we are for and why it is better for American and superior to the GOPers vision.

What we need is 100 Paul Wellstones, Bernie Saunders, and Alan Graysons.

5. bi-partisanship

is not getting some two sides together on every thing.

It is not letting two sides fight over ridiculous stuff to hide the real enemies.


All the splitting of people into different sides on distraction issues, is done to create gridlock and hide the real problems.


Bipartisan ship is not fighting on silly issues, make a quick comment, and get back to the primary focus of the problem.


People that want power, and create suffering to try and hold that power, although it should not stop you.


Coming together is staying on topics of what the problem is. If a side fights to distract, call them out and get back on topic.

Always back on topic to what the obvious problems are, systems constructed to reward a few to hurt many.


If you argue on an issue, argue it on the primary issues behind it, rights, or dignity, or just distribution based on who does the work, or on issue of corruption that has to be removed.

Or argue against use of bad methods to hurt or distract.


Immigration, the argument is about how some want cheap labor with a two tier citizenship program, and on good pay for anyone that does the work equally.

It is not about color of skin or language spoken.

Stay on target.

Taxes is about fixing a broken distribution system, and using that to fix the damage it does not to prop it up or keep that broken system to be able to claim power.

Stay on target.
