First way: Never do anything of which you'd be ashamed.

My way: Never be ashamed of anything you do.

I would also like it to go viral over social media. I'd do it, but I'm not on social media.

Democrats have bushels full of issues like this they should be broadcasting LOUDLY in the press,speeches,social media but for some "reason" they do not. It is up to us to figure out why.

Remember the flack they took when they pointed out that the Ebola scare here a while ago could be traced directly to GOP cuts?

Oh, the GOP screeched about the unfairness of it all! They beat their chests, and covered themselves with self-righteousness, and the Democrats dutifully shut up...

That's why I'm supporting Bernie. He DOES trumpet stuff like this out.

by activists. He was there for a photo op, but unfortunately the Navajo are worried about the giant toxic waste spill in the river systems on which they depend.

I watched the footage. McCain, and most Republicans are pretty out of it. I'm not sure they 'get' cause and effect.

If I showed this OP post/graphic to my right wing father and his friends, they wouldn't feel shame at all. I know what they'll say. I know them too well.

They'll just haughtily scoff about how "that's just a bunch of 'librul' bullshit" or somesuch blather and launch into their angry old white guy gish-gallops about their own opinions.

It's not worth it to try. We just have to wait for the demographic to expire from relevancy.
