Learn about the origins and legacy of Pastor Martin Niemöller's famous postwar words, “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out…”

I think it is time for me to remind everyone, again…

    Even if they have no institutional power, there are other groups the Democratic party is still talking about, still trying to take action on.

    They aren’t even pretending to care about trans people any more.

      That’s fair. I’d just rather see the left try to unify then assign blame and fall further to infighting.

      We will need all the allies we can muster to pull through this.

        I think the left is relatively united by the left’s standards.

        The issue is that the Democratic party establishment is not part of the left.

          Then we take it and remake it.

          There is no time to create a new party and all recent efforts have failed.

            I think that needs to take the form of other groups who are willing to vote in coalition with the democrats, but not part of them.

            The democrats are far better than the Republicans at exactly one thing: crushing their base and excluding it from power.

              I think the fastest option is to take over the party. If the right wing nut jobs could do it it the republicans, certainly we can as well.
