No, they are wasting time and money on what amounts to a child's tantrum.

They do not want to fix any problems. That would require actual work.

You're right. Why draft mission statements and proposals, delve into deep research to structure positions, engage financing, create petition drives to garner hundres of thousands of signatures while executing public relations activities when they could be jabbering inanely all day on an internet forum that might reach a few hundred or a thousand other angry passive aggresive malcontents who like to chew on each other like kindergarteners?

Really? Petitions are circulating and getting signatures. News media are covering the topic. You are responding on an internet forum. What more would you expect to be accomplished in a 10- year process that just started for all intents and purposes very recently?

So? News media will cover anything with any shred of sensationalist value. Including fringe phenomena. It's a good argument for presenting the media coverage of it as proof it's a fringe phenom, in fact.


Surprising how many RT news fans there are around here...

Public relations activities??? Is that another way of saying protest or riot?? If so that's funny...

What's the ultimate goal? To get rid of Trump? Then you get Pence and you left wingers don't like him either.

Then, I would also do some things to spin up the Left.

Blood in the streets? Excellent.

Actual civil war? Even better.

Anyone who says it can't happen here is ignorant of history.
Well said.

Finally, someone who gets it!

This is exactly what has been done to America on multiple fronts.
