guerillas know to use their weaknesses as strengths, and exploit the opponents strengths as weaknesses.
grass roots local political activism is the true way to achieving the goals of progressive policies. you build a movement from the ground up, not the head down.
you have to win the hearts and minds of people at the local level and show the masses that liberals are active, vibrant participants in the society and are not simply bitch artists who dont work in the communities and volunteer.
show up at local town meetings, join the rotary club, elks, or chamber of commerce, coach little league, work at a food bank. make your philosophies known in the community.
when this is done and you become recognized as a contributing member of the society by those in your community, the media propaganda about do-nothing liberals is undermined by people seeing the real live face of a liberal/progressive who participates.
yes, i am talking about a 1,000 points of light, which the GOP has taken to heart and lit up the countryside with their people.
this is personal for me. i attend local town meetings, school board meetings, zoning meetings, and speak up, and yet i never, ever see another progressive speak at these meetings.
and i want to know, where the fuck are you people?
