(62,325 posts)who are finally realizing the power they have and are now going to use it to get what THEY want, iow, a far more progressive country.
We are all very excited after being taken for granted for so long, that the people who actually get people elected, that would be US, end up being aside aside once the election is over. Well, not anymore.
I don't agree that your thinking is broad. Even in this post, you again are focused on one individual. There has been far too much focus on the presidency which many people knew, but not enough. NOW things are going to change and the focus shifted to where the power really is and to see all these organizations joining forces now to achieve OUR goals and to wield the power we have always but didn't use, trusting the party to choose good candidates. Well they've proven their idea of good candidates is not always the people's.
Lead or follow?? Is that all you can think of? How about join people who have the same Democratic principles and increase the power of the people by cooperating with each other.
We don't have to lead OR follow. That as I said, is the old politics and they have not worked for us.
