Reply #4: A leader who actually shares power could be very popular. [View All]

Most of what leads this party are, at best, passive aggressive, at worst they shove candidates down our throats for reasons that have more to do with our oppressive status quo than they have to do with us.

Ask any "leader" what they do with all of the input they get from sources other than lobbyists, and you'll find that all of those emails and letters and phone-calls get pro-forma responses and then are dumped somewhere and lost as a source of information about constituents. Information that could be used to create inclusive strategic political processes, rooted in the People, rather than Lobbyists.

We are all over the place because Everything that is going on is connected inside OUR lives. Telling us to focus needs to be accompanied by somekind of plan in which the focus moves strategically to cover all of what is happening to us, so everyone knows that their discipline now will pay off later. We need a work ethic that states that others who organize around their own issues and talking-points will help me and my group, because we help them.

And oh yeah, one of the reasons we've been getting our butts kicked this last decade is because Republicans have done the above in their Church Cartels.
