"A True Change Needed" -"You" Need To Know The Truth

[Civic Justice]

American has much to review..... "study politics and its history"... its only been 54 yrs since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The question is how many Democrats truly have made the inner heart & mind change of acceptance of this Law?

We still have people who claim they have been Democrats since before 1964, and as that is so, people MUST remember, those were at the time a make up of SOME "Southern Democrats", who stood against the passage of the Civil Right Act, because those PRE 1969 Southern Democrats, were with a make up of some, who aspired to the old Southern Democrats, which was a brand of Confederate Idealist in thought and heart. Today, some could be considered as "Right Leaning" Democrats, and others moved over and became "Republicans" who took up the ideals of the Confederate Idealistic Southern Democrats of the past.

Then, the question is: How is the mindset of some Democratic Politicians, who reside in Right Leaning Districts, You need to know who's are carry overs from the Era of Southern Democrat? Were they Liberal of Conservative?

If you remember or you research, you will find, that in 1964, President Johnson, had a challenge on his hand to gain support of many who considered themselves "Southern Democrats", All were not of the Liberal Mind of Hubert Humphrey, and it took a lot of work to get the Civil Rights Bill Passed. Today, we need to know who is from the legacy of the former Southern Democrats who stood against the passage, then we can know who is the Conservative Democrat, that are Right Leaning.
If we don't find this out and don't know this... even getting bills passed with a Democratic Congress can be with many challenges.

I ask this as honest questions. I work with some older guys, who tell me they come from a family of Democrats from LONG AGO, and when we discussed this, I asked them if they knew, that the FORMER Southern Democrats, ARE NOT, the same as Today's Democrats? I asked them if they knew that the Former Southern Democrats fought against de-segregation, and then I asked them if they knew about the 1969 switch, under the Nixon Administration, and the previous time when Strom Thurmond a once staunch Southern Democrat, moved over to the Republican Party and took his Confederate Rooted ideals with him, along with a segment of the voting blocks who aspired to those ideas.

In asking these questions and discussing this, "the same older guys that I worked with who said, they were from a long ling of Democrats, said they were "Voting for Trump". In ongoing conversations some of them 'strongly support Trump and still are backing Trump in spite of being enlightened, that they are not of "Today's Democrats", they are of the Republican Ideals, because the Republican Ideals of Today, are the same as the Former Southern Democrats.

We also have some heavy Right Leaning Democrats'... who support as close to Republican Ideals, without declaring themselves Republicans, but when things are discussed, their commentary fits the Republican Systems Ideology.

This POLITICAL FLIP, in 1969.. was done and was meant to confuse a mass of people, and it did exactly that, along with the Republican of Today, who are filled with former Southern Democratic Idealist, thought they could dupe the people and in process, roll back as much of the Civil Rights as they could.
We all know, that Civil Rights has been under CONSTANT attack by the Modern Day Republicans, since 1969 when they set out to launch their full on attack, only this time from the Republican systems but with the same Confederate based Ideals.

We might wonder why so many Democrats Remain So Silent During All This Madness. That's means the current Day Democrats need to look and think deep and hard into any of their Democratic Politicians, who stand silent, and begin to Ask Why?

Politics has always been "dirty business", and during the Political Flip, one can be assured, that those who moved and turned the Republican Party into what it is today, also left some allies and maybe even strategically placed spies in the Democratic Party of today.

Point being: " If your Democratic Politicians is not standing up against this Trump Madness, and Not standing up against the Republican Congress Members who are endorsing this madness. Then one may need to know if that person truly aspires to the Ideals of the Modern Day Democratic Party.

Take nothing for granted, inquiry and verify !!!!! This is what will help make the Democratic Party unified and with a single message as to Ideals and Values of what makes up the Democratic Party.

People cannot be blind mined any more, nor can they take for granted that a person claims to be a Democrat in Name, but does not Stand Up and Use and Have Voice for Democratic Values in the middle of this Trump and Republican Madness. Then by right, one had better get busy to find out if the person they supports as a Democrat truly supports them and the Democratic Ideals.

"A True Change Needed" -"You" Need To Know The Truth

You will not know the truth until you inquire and hold them to be accountable to use their voice to support Democratic Ideals and the Democratic Party and the aims it has for the Betterment of our Democracy and Respect of our Citizen Population and this Nations Governance.

Why do we have so few Democrats Standing Up.... and Why are so Many Silent????

We saw during President Obama's Mid-Terms, how silent many Democrats became, as if they purposefully stayed silent and allowed Republican to Take "Both Houses of Congress".

If your Democratic Politician is silent and not well known even by the people in their District, then "bombard them with letters and "force" them to stand up and speak up !!! Demand them the 'get up" and support other Democratic Candidates. If they fail to do so, then "YOU" know, its time to replace them with a Democrat that will stand up and speak up and support other Democratic Candidates.

IT'S WAKE UP TIME PEOPLE- No more Assuming, No more Taking for Granted, and No More Allowing the person who represents YOUR VOICE, to sit on their buts and remain silent, and then do not invest themselves to vocally and publicly support other Democratic Candidates who uphold and pursue Democratic Values.

NO MORE - Blind Minded Voting - You need to know who you are voting for, and you need to know, they will promote their voice to represent your voice and the Democratic Ideals that you believe and support as being a Democrat.

Forget the Mob styled "name recognition game"... YOU need to know factually where the people you elect stand and what they support.

I'm not advocating for people who go extreme left, but people who support the Ideals of the Middle and Main Stream Democratic Ideals.

Never let your politician off the hook when you ask them a question.... Demand an Response that is not a "canned letter" printed from a prescript template document that actually has nothing particular to your question to say.

Remember: "these people you elect are elected to Represent YOUR Voice, YOUR ideals and the Ideals of the Democratic Party that YOU support.

We live in the Age of Information, and if you do not pursue information, you are at a disadvantage and may well do yourself and this nation a disservice.

Don't Remain Silent, "what's your thoughts"???? this is a conversation that needs to be engaged The 2018 Mid Terms are coming, if you are silent here, will you be silent or absent at the ballot box? You need to know the answer to that?

1. I don't understand?

I could understand silence and every attacks from people who are Right Wing and Republicans on City Data, but I do not understand the people, on this site as Democratic Underground, remaining silent, when discussing the Civics of our politics as to what is "Today's Democrats".

I've written a few post while on here, but the commentary seem to be lacking, and I'm not understanding that. It makes me sad, to think that our "2018 Mid Terms" may produce this same type of silence and with such silence it may have indications of people not voting, and not reaching out to others to vote.

I share post like the one above with others I know and ask them to share it because we have nearly two generations of people (millions of people) who know nothing about the political past and know even less about the political flips that took place. Some never researched are were taught anything about the era of Politics in the 1960's except to know that the Civil Rights Bill Passed, and about Vietnam... people need to know about the elements of the political landscape and how it changed...

3. That's funny,

BUT...... For Me, I never looked at discussion forums as having a basic format for One liners and focused entirely on brevity. These type Forums are not set it up with a cap on word count... like Twitter and other short burst messaging platforms. This is why its a Discussion Forum, rather than a social media script for 140 character slap stick. Therefore, I use it to actually talk about the variables of things...with referential outlook to history, civics and the expanse of politics.

We have a society suffering from the long impacts of brevity... we have people in positions, making decisions based on brevity, and as a result... "we see everything in American crashing, collapsing, falling apart at the seams, and the only time details come up, is when the "investigations expose the violations and vile that was caused based on brevity.

It's why its so easy for Republican to sit before Congress and Lie, and claim they can't remember, or give one liners to things that impact the lives of 300 million Plus people.

I'm not a fan of brevity as a default mode. It has bred a society that is "impatient" and with "very short attention spans"... and ultimately to an 'uninformed society". Its not uncommon in the society of today, and its has made $billions for Twitter and Facebook, and that might be part of why so many got "misled" by such social media, because they did not read for themselves, they took the "one liner's", "Slap stick comedic commentary" and substituted it for actual knowing and actual facts. Then other listen to "attack ad' campaign to the point, Trump could sling out "name calling" and people bought into it as if it was face.. because it suited their lusting desire for 'Brevity".
I am no fan of Brevity, certainly not when it comes to politics and the people in political position making decision, and certainly not in support of a Political Party that is built on principles that point to everything other other than brevity.

How Many BILLIONS of Books exist, is how many exist because they did not fall victim to brevity.
