[Think. Again.]

1. Well said, thank you.

[ItsjustMe]

2. 😉

[ancianita]

3. Good for you.

Exactly right that we've been here before. Because it's always been about our freedom.

If you watch Netflix I recommend Number 24, the docufilm about Norwegians' resistance to the Nazi occupation when their leadership left the country for London and no one could rescue them but themselves.

There are excellent resistance lessons there, especially for the young, who've not known our years-long fights for THEIR freedoms before they were born.

Thanks for speaking.

18. We watched Number 24 on Netflix tonight, excellent! Thanks for the suggestion.

[ancianita]

22. Cool! I found it informative for our times. Did you?

[appalachiablue]

38. Yes, very fitting, the fight for liberation from dominatiion and freedom. Lessons.

The acting was superb, a quality film. I've visited Europe a number of times and lived in England but never made it to Scandinavia.

Relatives who visited Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm to see Swedish friends really enjoyed the culture there and still talk about it.

26. Also A Call to Spy movie

Not on Netflix anymore but maybe Apple+ or Prime
It’s about the French resistance led by an American woman.
I read the book A Woman of No Importance- the movie is based on the book. Haven’t seen the movie yet though but will be watching soon. Snow days are good for that!

4. I'm pissed and I'm glad I'm not alone.

I've been bitching about contesting his ability to take office since he started his campaign after insurrection.

I screamed about the SCOTUS rulings...

It's an international oligarchical theft ring, sitting in our treasury with a habitual criminal insurrectionist.

[orangecrush]

6. FUCKING. A. RIGHT.

[pandr32]

7. 100 %

Excellent rant that hit so many truths.

[Blue_Tires]

20. Why would anyone delete this?

[Blue_Tires]

42. I'm not afraid of the Trumpers

They can come after me at their own peril☠️

[FoxNewsSucks]

9. Couldn't have said it better.

[Scalded Nun]

10. A lot of that is due to the right's ownership (Read: Corporate/Oligarchs) of print and broadcast (TV and radio) news.

[Felicita]

11. Several DUers have suggested fighting with our purses/wallets

as one way to fight back. If enough people cut non-necessary spending for as many months as possible after Jan 20 and boycott rw companies (Kroger, Publix, Walmart) as much as possible so our $ goes into lw or neutral companies (Costco, Aldi, Penzeys Spices BBand Beyond, etc), it will cut into rw companies' profits to limit the amount they can give to rw politicians and make their greedy selves squirm from loss of profits. But it will take all of us doing it to make a difference. I'm in!

[Felicita]

12. Also, drop cable and Directv

and streaming services that include Faux News and Newsmax so we don't support those propaganda lying stations. I've been using a digital antenna for over a year now-works great but I live near a big city.

[KS Toronado]

13. I'll be extremely disappointed tomorrow

when the House is certifying the Electoral College votes if our side of the aisle doesn't bring up the
fact that the Constitution states that anyone who engages in insurrection against the United States
can not hold any elected office.

[Hugin]

17. Or the 14th Amendment. n/t

[Rhiannon12866]

27. Which member should take one for the team?

We've seen how he's attacked Liz Cheney...

[KS Toronado]

33. Hakeem Jeffries should lead the charge IMO

[Rhiannon12866]

35. And get all the Dems behind him! They already plan to present a united front!

[state of stupid]

14. you took the words right out of my mouth

and expressed them better than I ever could.

[Clouds Passing]

15. Shit Yeah, Chin!

[Hugin]

16. Hear, hear. n/t

[Blue_Tires]

19. I got zero explanation

But it makes me rage every time I think about it 🤬☠️

[ThePartyThatListens]

21. Because they're fighters

Democrats are too nice.

Time to do away with the niceness and get to fighting.

[Kaleva]

25. What is stopping you?

You'd have to give up some leisure time or take time off from work. That might be too much .

[ThePartyThatListens]

28. I'm not a politican

I'm just a citizen who wants my representatives to do a better job of representing me.

If this was a serious question.

[Kaleva]

30. MLK wasn't a politician

Most of the people involved in the ant-war effort weren't either . The Women's Suffrage movement had few politicians in it

[ThePartyThatListens]

32. Are you excusing politicans from doing better?

Don't you want them to rise to their occasion?

[Kaleva]

36. I'm just asking you what you are doing.

I'm not excusing anyone but my question was directed at you

[ThePartyThatListens]

41. I see

I'm using my sphere of influence to fight the battle in the way and the manner I outlined and expect the politicians to.

What about you?

[Kaleva]

43. How are you getting your elected officials to do what you want?

Face to face meetings maybe?

My level of effort matches my level of interest. Zero.

[Kaleva]

31. I've been here a long time

People sitting around waiting for others to do all the work will get no results.

[Kaleva]

37. Quote where I made assumptions about you

I had directed my question at another member

[malaise]

23. Great OP

Ask President Biden. His comments yesterday really annoyed me.

[Kaleva]

24. There's no where enough interest in doing so

[republianmushroom]

40. Thank you, you nailed it.
