4. Show me where "we" can get half of ABC's audience to boycott.
The people here do NOT speak for the Dem party. I remember a poll just last week that estimated "we" account for AT TOPS 10%. While it is nice to feel all powerful in the illusion that "we" control the entire Dem party, IT JUST ISN'T TRUE!! Boycott all you want, drop your cable, never eat at Red Lobster or refuse to sleep on a Sleep Number bed but please do not be so full of ourselves to think that 1/2 of ABC's audience would go away.

People keep talking about how the Reps got the Reagan movie canceled. I think one of the ways they accomplished this was they don't ask people to boycott so fucking many things. Look at the list of advertisers/supporters you have to boycott in order to be a "true" progressive. Sit down, it will take most of the night to read it. I believe OVERKILL is why we can't get a decent boycott or protest together. Every other fucking weekend is THE DAY that we start "the revolution". There comes a point when normal people say "fuck this" and just go on with their lives.
