If you believe the gaslighting from Corporate Democrats, it’s never the time to talk about what their party should actually do to help voters. If it’s primary election season, it’s not the time because that allegedly weakens party “unity.” If it’s general election season, it’s not the time because that’s allegedly too “divisive.” If it’s after an election, it’s not the time because there’s another election coming up. The whole reason for elections is to give voters the chance to ask what their representatives are going to do…but somehow, we’re expected to believe that it’s literally never the time for that!

    Ask yourself: In a hostage situation what is the one thing that the negotiator wants to keep the hostage taker doing?

    A) TALKING You have to keep them talking

    Why?

    Because if they are “talking” they aren’t DOING. If they are “talking” they are DISTRACTED.

    And what do politicians and corporations want everyone to do when confronted by a “pressing social issue?”

    “Join the conversation.”

    “Talking” is a stall tactic. Because as long as they can keep that discussion going, they don’t have to act on anything. And they are fairly sure neither WILL YOU.

    Don’t belive me?

    Then what the hell do you think a Filibuster is?
