Keith Olbermann is right: Turn the Press on Its Head

[RVN VET71]

22. When Shumer mentioned his "strongly worded letter"

my heart fell. About that same time, I heard Jeffries respond to a question about Democratic strategy by saying that we must first of all try to get the Fascists to be reasonable. I realized at that point, with the flaccidity of those words echoing in my brain, just how completely screwed we are.

Face it, today the Democratic leadership just ain't up to the challenge, and Keith Olbermann is absolutely right, they're giving the game away without putting up a fight.

There's still time to turn everything around, of course. But Olbermann's analysis, and the analysis made by so many of us, is not promising. The Democratic Party remains so afraid of losing that there's no way they can win without a major change in direction. If we let the Fascists overturn -- or even cancel -- the midterms, it's over. It will take a century of angry revolt to right the wrongs these "christian" fascists will have succeeded in doing to us and our democracy.

But if we are able to brutalize the MAGA Moron Party in the midterms, there's a chance we might be able to persevere and get back the democracy the bastards are dismantling before our eyes. Still, winning the midterms would only be the beginning.

Bunker Hill, after all, didn't end the fighting, it only began it in earnest.
