(12,228 posts)In the past, to put it politely, has usually fallen short on the offense and defense. The truth really needs extra extra pushing to equal the frantic assault of lies and the Great Wall of Silence that is the lazy comfort zone of the basically corporate media.
If we had pushed many many things in the past could we have avoided the stiolen elections, the world war crime class criminal wars, economic rape loss of democracy and media fairness itself? Simply rallying around a single presidential champion pushing through the evil clown muck that is hurting most of us should be even more than standard operating procedure, which it still is very from being.
Bipartisanship is defeatist bullshit in just about every way. A clam is bipartisan. You split it for the pearl.

(12,228 posts)Catholic school with supposed strict authority. On the playground if you didn't police yourselves don't expect too much justice or help until the blood flows.
We had surrogates, monitors being the upperclass and when that naturally turned disastrous because of the bad attitudes age gap, sixth or seventh graders were dragooned. They themselves did not always handle authority well. Before that the physically big and the mean had an open field that I can only compare to the feeling of being on the battle plains before Troy with girls weaving in and around acting civilized.
If our leaders feel like acting big, Lord knows they all presume to, we could use more heros and fewer bullies.
