The "Sound of Silence" from leaders is going to get us all killed.

Last edited Tue Sep 16, 2025, 01:58 AM - Edit history (1)

While lie after lie after lie is spread about “radical left wing terrorists”
Which, by the way DO NOT EXIST

Who is calling out the lies on the big stage?
As far as I can tell, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.


Joe needs to take care of Joe.
And sincere best wishes for his health.

Expect zero from most media.

Party and dignitaries with clout are not standing up to this false and illegal barrage of direct threats
illegal under accepted interpretation of the first amendment.

And the Democratic party leadership?
NADA, ZILCH, ZIP, NIL, BUPKIS, RIEN
You’re as useless as bowling shoes at an ice rink.

^^^^^^^ Now is the time for the party to come to the aid of all good men. ^^^
And women and others.

Don’t wait for divine intervention. It ain’t happening.


So-called leaders.
Read this and get off your lame asses.
AND CALL OUT THE LIES FORCEFULLY AND REPEATEDLY
Or we all lose ours.

They must be expecting someone else to do the heavy lifting. Thom Hartmann wanted the party to buy 1,000 radio stations. Then paid shills could shill 24-7 letting Washington politicians have time to relax

4. I would hope that leaders at the very least make statements affirming general principles.

The don't have to be attacks. They don't have ro be timely. Just put in a good word for the principles that guided the country for hundreds of years.

Point out real enemies instead of 1984 phantoms.

Bernie's practically doing it alone, it seems.

It makes the nazis look unchallenged, when there are so few making them accountable. A docile opposition is exactly what they want.

I WANT FIGHTERS.
