Reply #22: People are outraged, but not unified or very vocal. [View All]

The media have won, in a sense. I've mentioned wanting to protest and the reaction I've got -- from even sympathetic people -- has been, What are you going to protest? Democracy? People voted for Bush, they must like him, like the war, etc!

And I mention voter fraud, they say, So where's the proof?

It's coming!I say.

So here we are. A lot of us are just -- still -- trying to figure out the best thing to do at this point. I want to run screaming in the streets, but is that worthwhile, when it's just me alone in my little town? (BTW, I've done that before, been one of two people protesting some white-supremacists. Got arrested. End of that.)

The outrage is real, it's huge. What's NOT huge yet is a consensus about the best tactic.

Many, MANY Dems I know think we should be looking at 2006 and getting our "message" refined.

I disagree, but it's hard to form a coherent argument right now.
