LAS14's JournalDoes everyone still know "We shall overcome?"
I've been thinking about a rallying song. What got me started was the thought that I might witness booing or other harassment of a Muslim. What would I do? If I started singing We Shall Overcome would others recognize it?
I read somewhere that these days the only songs you can count on all members of a mixed group to be able to sing are Happy Birthday and Auld Lang Syne...
What about Obama for chair of the DNC?
I'm just aching for someone to rally behind. I did perk up after Warren's AF of L speech, maybe... But if Obama were around in an official capacity that would be great. And maybe the Democratic Party would start moving at the grass roots level already for 2020.
Whadda ya think?
Did any Republicans sign this letter?

I can see the New Balance headquarters from my living room window. I want to go demonstrate. But a boycott would be more effective.
How does one get such actions started? I'm not the one. I'm an idiot about social media. Suggestions???

Has something changed regarding display of links?
I expected the link below to show up in picture form. I posted it in an Outlook message just to test, and it did. But in DU it only shows the text of the link. Has something changed?

Is there a summary of senators anywhere...
... that would give me a sense of how many Republican senators might refuse to vote for outrageous ideas?
Susan Collins is the only one who comes to mind.
Will the female Republicans confirm a judge expected to overturn Roe v Wade?
I need more guidance about what goes in 2016 postmortem.
I submitted a post in General Discussion about what our next steps should be. But it felt like it would just get lost in a jumble of everything.
What about calling this 2016 Postmortem and the next 4 years?
What's the best thing to do next?
Are there steps being taken to build up the Democratic party among young people? The headquarters in NH was full of youth, but I'm thinking we have to attend to this or the party may begin to look like crowds at the symphony.
I live in Mass and want to be sure we don't let complacency cause this stronghold to slip away. We now know that anything is possible.
