Yeah....I listened to Elizabeth Warren's talk as well, + she's correct. Good exchange, guys...btw. ! The problem with protests these days is this: a million anti-war protesters from all walks of life, before the Iraq war, received very scant coverage on TV + did not change the decision to go to war. The middle class, with the economy in shambles, will NOT be risking their jobs if they have a family to feed. There is no way, unless things get much worse: once you have nothing else to lose.
>>> we can debate all this here until we are blue in the face...it will make no difference, unless we start reaching people who have been entirely propagandized, which, I admit, will be an extremely difficult task. For one thing, progressives need to start thinking outside the box (i.e. the Democratic Party), because it's a fucking disaster, quite frankly. Non-alignment with any party is key at this point + taking some of the concern of some the tea-baggers seriously, is another.
>>> I know this sounds crazy, but we need to able to connect with average people - and not all the tea-baggers are racist fuckheads, although quite a few of them are. The non-racists can be convinced, over time...but, it will take TIME and effort. Anyway, just a thought.
