How 'Bout A Little Inspiration ???

4. I agree that there has to be a real fight now. We were NOT fighting, we are participating the

'plan', at first unwittingly, then we were more or less caught in a trap. Which boiled down to voting for someone calling themselves a Dem or voting for someone even worse.

The 'lesser evil' has often been the choice.

Even now, we are being told that Hillary, eg, is 'inevitable' because 'there is no one else and she is better than the alternative'. And we have people TELLING those who plan all this, 'well, I'm not crazy about her policies, but if she is the nominee, I will vote for her'.

That is what they are hoping for.

My opinion is that NOW is the time to tell them, 'we will NOT vote for someone whose policies do not represent our interests'. Iow, they have been using scare tactics to push their choice of candidate, mostly Corporate friendly, on the people. How about WE scare THEM by telling them 'no' for a change? Because the alternative is to continue to allow Corporatists to run things THEIR way which as we know, has not worked for millions of people.

So I agree with you, we have to start fighting. But we need to have a goal. What will we be fighting for?

In this election eg, there WERE victories for the people, maybe not so much for politicians. The people voted on Ballot Issues, Progressive issues and won. Because locally people still have more influence.

So I am for pushing for local Ballot Issues across the country to begin with. And for choosing local candidates who are FOR those issues and willing to fight for them, even if it's just on school boards. It will take a lot of time, but we know we hear nothing but excuses on many of these issues on a National level. Locally it is far more possible, as we saw in this last election.
