Losing it

I like many have been losing it since NO-vember 8th and shit went the way it did but it did.
Not being one to post very often and content to just keep up with reading the forums I find myself lately getting pissed up a bit. What we have now in all arenas is a very fluid situation, to say the least. High time for proactive assertion to be sure but NOT the time to react to a buffoon with buffoonery.

Tact~

What is happening in Berkeley is garnering for our cause nothing but negative exposure, lost opportunities to further the left in the national spotlight positively and overall a net loss on the national scene. I feel for the generation there now in the trenches, I really do, the next generation of troops coming up for the cause but I must be frank in my estimation that they are royally fucking up with the tone they have chosen.

Nixon is not there with tin soldiers and real rifles shooting real bullets at them. This is not Kent State 1970. Nobody protesting at Kent was wearing a mask. Those students in Kent were directly targeted victims personally stared at down the gunsights of M-1 Garands held by National Guardsmen. America was watching. They know the difference and supported the innocent students at Kent. Berkeley 2017 is not Kent 1970 and America knows the difference. There was a lot at stake in the spring of 1970 and there is a lot at stake in 2017. In 1970 the American public overwhelmingly supported the students in the aftermath of that murderous massacre that saw America as a people at that poignant and painful point in time wondering, introspecting and inflecting as a nation just where we stood.

The difference today and why tact now IN UNISON AND NON VIOLENT ALL ACROSS THE LEFT is so vital~

Barrack Obama was not elected by 13% of the population or 33% of the population. He was elected TWICE by the inclusion in the vote of every one of us on the left -with- MIDDLE AMERICA. Without the middle no election is won. Go back and read that last sentence again. Let that shit soak in. We had better. What is happening in Berkeley now is we on the left slicing our own wrists, tying our own noose. HANDING IT TO THE TRUMSTERS.

If you think some fringe element gave us the bloated orange Michelin man you are missing the facts and need desperately to stop pissing and moaning about election day 2016 and stop driving forward with the pedal to the floor while looking out the back window. There is nothing there worth looking at, all a bridge under water now anyway. What does it fucking matter at this point anyway?!?! HELLO!

Get the point? I certainly hope you do. America is in play, still, if the left can stop with the pathetic pitty party, pull its head out of its ass and GET IN THE FUCKING GAME WITH SOME TACT AND NON VIOLENCE!

Liberal protests are always peaceful, no one can help if it a few assholes show up to commit violence.

This is the only unified message all liberals and democrats should be repeating 24/7, before quickly pivoting to the REAL ISSUE of explaining who Breitbart.com is and how in fucking gods green earth it is that the employees of this new KKK organization are our presidents closest advisors and expected to be treated as normal "guests" in institutions of learning.

Quit apologizing and worrying...THATS why the left loses.
