1) We're in the middle of what's essentially an authoritarian takeover of the United States. Democratic Party leadership has completely underperformed, mounting an ineffective opposition to Trump's illegal behavior - even now doing as much to acquiesce as to oppose it.

2) The people have seen no other option than to take matters into their own hands, creating a far more dangerous situation than would have occurred if Democrats in Congress have stood up to him as they needed to do for the last three years.

3) At this point it's a very good idea for prayerful people to pray, meditators to meditate & all well-intentioned Americans to follow your heart, stay informed, summon courage & stand up for our democracy. Vote Blue on Nov. 3 as though your life depended on it, because it might.

@marwilliamson pls add to your important call, a wish that the left, including anarchists, refuse the bait of violent protest, which only facilitates the takeover you rightly describe. I am hearing directly from some such voices a defense of violence and this will undo us all.

Indeed the Democrats haven't resisted Trump's fascistic agenda, and that's a good reason to not keep voting blue. socialism2020.org

*Because it does* I just wish we had the kind of nominee who was in the moment and could read the room. We need more than Biden. We need a healer. We need a communicator. I want the fire @ninaturner brings to the table.

We are NOT helpless to stop a corrupt, fascist wannabe tyrant from occupying and taking absolute control of America. Only a lack of doing anything will hand over the reins of power to the 45 Regime. Stand on every street corner with homemade signs demanding Congress do their job.

What's really scary ... is that we are now just like one of those third-world countries we used to hear about ... and shake our heads at ... and think ... why can't they get it together? ... they couldn't ... and we can't ... because there's a Despot in the White House!

The Democrats were limited by the Senate Republicans the last 2 years. The first the Republicans had total control No? Respectfully, I am not sure what they could have done?
