Showing Original Post only (View all)I have a question are we here at DU really going to be able to be in this fight to save our Democracy. [View all]
I had a post block yesterday for not Supporting Democrats. I appealed the block and won on appeal. But a post that sits for 24 hours before being released is, as they say, sits in the dustbin of history.

Are we in this fight or are we just casual observers?
I think democrats who are just sitting on their hands and collecting their paychecks NEED TO BE CALLED OUT by all means possible.
Only a VERY SMALL portion of the Democratic members of Congress seem to have the "BALLS" strike that,.... intestinal fortitude to stand up and fight. At the head of the public opposition, two women have more "intestinal fortitude" than most of their male counterparts.

As a veteran who took an oath 60 years ago to follow in my dad's footsteps, I still honor that oath as he did. And I think of all the unknown young men and women who have died in defense of the oath to defend the CONSTITUTION. And especially four of my high school classmates, whose names are among the 58,000 names on the "Wall" who died in our generational war.
I'm fighting for those who no longer have a voice.
I'm not willing to give up so as not to hurt someone's feelings who sits in Congress and collects a paycheck and plots how to keep their seat by not muttering a word in opposition to the OUT AND OUT ASSAULT on our democracy.
A 25-year-old engineer named Marko Elez, who previously worked for two Elon Musk companies, has direct access to Treasury Department systems responsible for nearly all payments made by the US government, three sources tell WIRED.
Musk and his band of twenty-year-olds have been given access to OUR (yours and ours) financial records.
RAISE YOUR HAND if you are alright with the BULLSHIT!
