1. Democrats have become the "Do nothing" party. Why?
Well, some people on here say that everybody hates Democrats - that we're "damned if we do and damned if we don't". Well, I say, let's be damned for doing! You can't beat fascists by sitting on your hands and hoping it gets so bad that the voters will come to you by default - which is the way most Democratic "leaders" seem to think. "When it gets bad enough, the people will flock to the Democratic Party" is the slogan for losing against fascists. The fascists want to acquire and retain power, they give a good goddamn about anything else. They have pretty much acquired it all, so now it's just a matter of maintenance for them. Having a platform of "we could do what they are doing better than they are doing it" is no way to oust the fascists...
