"We failed"

[DemocracyMouse]

That is what we will say if we don't get our self-righteous butts off the couch and away from the echo chamber of the web. We need to spend that daily news orgy in the neighborhood bar, bowling alley, etc., and talk to our fellow citizens.

Some talking points (please improve):

–Have you registered to vote?
–Are you planning on holding a motivational pre-vote party?
–Like I did for Hillary, I'm going door to door. Join me this Sept, October and November?
–Do join the blue wave that's actually VOTING in November –for Democrats. They are the only sane party left standing (and they are pro gun control, reproductive rights, Kyoto Protocols, regulating banks, etc)

Another action in the PHYSICAL WORLD: I've already got my homemade sign spread across my car's entire bumper:

WHILE CITIZENS CLASH
THE 1% TAKES THE CASH
Vote Democrats 2018

It reaches way beyond my echo chamber and I've received nothing but thumbs up.

2. Thanks for replying!

DU seems to focus, for good reason, on news gathering, but "the underground" part seems a tad tepid. There isn't much here in the realm of strategizing nonviolent collective action. It's a wee bit of an echo chamber, yes?

I do see the occasional posts about strange conversations with Republicans and MAGA nuts. That's a start...

Now back to tapping up the flaps on my sign!
