I agree that marches, protests, and sit ins will not work against this elevated level

1. I've seen the paranoia over "encampments" before, but we haven't seen them yet...

and I've been on countless marches to nowhere that were laughed at by the targets.

The last one I went to was a bazillion people marching against Bush the Lesser and his Iraq idiocy. It was on a weekend, though, and DC was empty of everyone but us and a few tourists. Nobody noticed. Nobody gave a shit.

Even less of a shit is given about the latest rounds of protests over pumpkinface. Lousy cabinet choices, mumblings over what could be martial law... When have we seen this before?

The current crop of assholes has great technology, but none of them have the energy that we faced when J. Edgar was around. People aren't dying because for the right to use a "white" restroom. Being a "communist" is no longer a capital offense.

What we are missing is a very simple and coordinated fight in the ballots, the courts and the court of public opinion showing these people to be the fools and tools they are.

It's not just the DNC-- I've seen reports, and seen with my own eyes, local Democratic organizations that are just blowing in the wind with no drive or purpose. The Republicans are organized so much better than we are. I would never want to be that "organized", but we have to do better.
