THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT!

Take a stand and then say it over and over. Stick to it. FIGHT FOR IT.

Educate people as to why your position is right. We let the repubs frame every damn issue because they have the corporate water-carrying all wrapped up in a pretty Jesus (with an AK) bow. But if there was some way to get it through people's thick skulls, they would tell you: they want their kids to go to good schools, they want good jobs and safe streets; they don't want to work three low-wage jobs till they drop. They WANT what the Democratic party USED to stand for.

Fuck! It's so infuriating!!! This is basic shit!
