We can fight back. There are things we can do. There is a playbook. It is possible to amass and wield power, to make and use moments, to command attention, name villains, cajole and browbeat, dislodge blockages. We need a president and a Democratic party who know how to do that. https://t.co/H4bywDtesu — PolitiTweet.org

The end of democracy in America won’t necessarily look like an insurrection or coup or stolen election. It may just be permanent minority rule, most of us wanting things and never getting them, and well-intended leaders being feckless and anemic. https://t.co/bA790pWygH — PolitiTweet.org

The extreme right sacralizes children until the moment of their birth, and then consigns them to the fate of being shot up like “varmints” by AR-15s. https://t.co/8PKkxWHxFy — PolitiTweet.org

We are delusional if we think the pro-democracy movement, as it now operates, is up to the task it faces. But we are fatalistic if we think it can't change. It can and must change, now. — PolitiTweet.org

Those who favor liberal democracy and a just society for all have prevailed over the forces of capture and tyranny in the past and can again. But only if we step the hell up and fight. And learn how to to build and wield power. Whether or not our children live depends on it. — PolitiTweet.org
