"One day our society will come to respect the sanitation worker if it is to survive, for the person who picks up our garbage, in the final analysis, is as significant as the physician, for if he doesn’t do his job, diseases are rampant. All labor has dignity.” —MLK Jr.

I personally believe Bernie would have beaten Trump in ‘16 had the DNC not put its thumb on the scale for Hillary. The DNC did it again this cycle by not holding a real primary with debates a year ago.

Americans would feel a lot better about AI if they thought: 1) proper regulations were in place; 2) they were in position to benefit; and 3) it wasn’t obviously going to impact their jobs.

And don't even get me started on acts of resistance that hurt normal working people like shutting down highways or blocking airports. That nonsense will make enemies of everyone of our allies.

Democrats have always tried to take some fictitious moral high ground that makes it seem like going on Fox News is an endorsement of Fox News. We need to cut that crap out. The best way to protest Trump is to get our message everywhere, ESPECIALLY on right wing news.

So what does that mean for the Democratic Party? They need to flood conservative channels with Democrats. Get Pete Buttigieg on Fox News every freaking night. Get Bernie doing NewsNation town halls. Get Josh Shapiro on Ben Shapiros show. AOC on Rogan Get them everywhere.

Every member of Congress should make it a goal to get on every local conservative radio show as often as possible. Learn to take some punches and learn to dish them out.

So what does that mean for you and me? It means we can't retreat to our own bubble. It means no Blue Sky. It means no silly moral stands against Twitter or Face book or whatever.

Dem Saints I think this is a very good idea but it's something that should have been done in 2016. Andrew Yang went from niche business figure to polling 5% in the Primaries in part because he wasn't afraid to do this. It's a powerful thing, for sure, I'm just worried it might be too late.

One addendum. Algorithms are driven by engagement. If I post and ten conservatives reply to disagree with me, then my post will be seen by more conservatives. The more people who respond, the more the post is seen. You hack the algorithm by getting Conservatives to respond

Dem Saints Not a bad suggestion, but, in my opinion, the best act of resistance for most normal people would be to simply get involved with party politics at the precinct level. Get involved at the stages when the party representatives are being chosen, not just at the general election.

Dem Saints Sound strategy and very well put. There is no moral high ground as it's been trampled to death by the right. Time to fight back! I don't know if you watch The Daily Show but Jordan Klepper is a master at this exact strategy (humour helps soften the blow)

chicken on a hill You are right. It was a huge, huge strategic mistake

gabadooie Doesn't matter. They can argue in bad faith all they want. Just stick to kitchen table issues and common principles and it is easy. Especially with Trump crashing everything down around then

I’m of the point of view that disaster relief should be unconditional and apolitical.

Another sad, black invisible dog, Fido #248460 is just 3 years old. He arrived in Apple Valley CA intact and with no microchip, so no one cared enough to protect him and make him their own. He waits in his euthanasia pen to take his final walk. With currently no interest, we
