The American Public is *PISSED*

[Aerows]

There is no need for a narrative, a deep analysis, or telling the American public to shut the hell up.

There is a need for DC to open up its doors to some sunlight, sweep out the idiocy, and tell these ancient thinking politicos to go to the bin where they belong.

We have had decades of sorry representation that resulted in the "people" getting screwed over.

Stop wondering why we are coming for you. The best of you are wondering why we haven't come for you sooner.

We are coming for you to throw your dead asses out of government.

[Aerows]

1. I originally posted this in GD

But it is more appropriate here.

[cherokeeprogressive]

2. Yes, we are coming. Like a snowball. nt

[Aerows]

4. Indeed. n/t

[ebayfool]

3. Awesome! Rec'd, rec'd, rec'd! n/t

[Aerows]

5. Thank you, cher!

[JimDandy]

6. It's way past time to get progressives in-the people who actually give a damn about others.

[Aerows]

9. I am so tired of the "me me me me me" philosophy, that I could scream

That shouldn't be what the Democratic Party is about.

Hell, that shouldn't be what *ANY* leadership should be about.

We are all in this together, like it or not. We succeed as a nation when we succeed at the community level.

It builds from there.

[billhicks76]

10. 100% Agree

[Aerows]

7. If we can get some Representatives in the Democratic party

That actually represent us, we can move mountains.

A Senate that actually represents us.

A President that unites, and doesn't hold grudges - that is Bernie Sanders. We have to get to the polls.

[GoneFishin]

79. That's why the right wingers have crept into the Democratic party. They can do more damage using

Trojan horse tactics from inside than they can using a head on assault.

[merrily]

8. "The best of you are wondering why we haven't come for you sooner." All five of them.

The rest in D.C. have lost too much oxygen to the brain from being in such an airtight the bubble.

EXCELLENT POINT.

Thank you, Aerows.

During OWS, I remember Joe Scarborough being indignant about class warfare, as if class warfare had begun only when the 90% finally noticed it had been going on for millennia and the 90% were not winning. Now, sincerely or not, he is talking about justified anger.

[Aerows]

11. It is exactly our fight to lose.

I have a lot of faith in my fellow DUers, my friends, my family, and the best of us that we can change the direction of our nation.

It is also our fight to win.

[merrily]

12. It's our revolution to win.

[Aerows]

15. Agreed!

[retrowire]

13. knr nt

[JackRiddler]

14. Si!

[VulgarPoet]

16. You definitely pissed SOMEBODY off.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

alliance with terrorist Anon's

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Mar 12, 2016, 02:44 AM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don’t even what the fuck that alert means.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Not only am I voting to leave I'm going to pm admin to report the alerter for lying about the op. Accusing someone of being allied with terrorists is a serious charge and doing it just to silence them on DU is the very definition of abusing the jury system. The alerter should lose their jury privileges, imo.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Why would anyone alert on this? This is clearly written in general and not toward anyone in particular. It is perfectly acceptable.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: When you've enlisted and stared the possibility of going toe to toe with actual, willing-to-murk-your-family terrorists, then you can decide who is a terrorist and who isn't.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

[Aerows]

17. I'm rather hurt by that

I have thick skin, but I have to ask, is this how fellow DUers view me, as a terrorist?

What on EARTH have I ever said to be blemished by such a charge?

[potone]

18. Of course not.

As you can see by the jury results, people thought that that was a ridiculous alert.

[Aerows]

40. It still hurt, though. n/t

[Betty Karlson]

30. It was just one step up from sexist and racist, maybe?

When the kitchen sink and the gutter don't work, what is the next thing you throw at your opponents? The septic tank?

[Aerows]

37. I guess.

Maybe if I dwelt in the gutter, the septic tank would naturally be the next worse thing to throw at someone.

Maybe just insult vomit all over someone would be the go-to?

[Karma13612]

46. Wear it as a badge!

I got flagged on DKos once and was really hurt.

But, when I voiced my opinion about the unfairness, one Kossack said to wear it like a badge.

My flagged comment was very close to something someone else had said, but was not flagged.

anyway, keep on keepin' on.

And never forget to #FeeltheBern!

[Aerows]

48. The best part I get out of this election

is that you have the entirety of Capitol Hill suddenly uncertain. They have pushed and pushed for certain candidates that have absolutely no difference on the litmus test, while being surprised that the American people reject those candidates.

Suddenly, they are coming to grips with the idea that they have made a mess of things and the American people are fed up with their failure.

[Karma13612]

51. so true

And I think they are getting a weeee bit panicked.

Just maybe, they are beginning to take this whole revolution seriously.

Just maybe.

[Aerows]

66. I hope they are.

We have some rotten butts planted in Congressional seats that should have the door hit them.

[Betty Karlson]

71. Yes, there is something gratifying about the quirming of the elites.

But right now, I'd rather have them converted. Sticking to Clinton is throwing the election to Trump. Sticking IT to Clinton is throwing the GOP into (potentially) permanent minority status for at least a decade.

Choices, choices,...

[Aerows]

74. I'm pretty certain that the American public

is having no more Bushes (he dropped out) and no more Clintons.

[Betty Karlson]

76. From your keyboard to God's ears. eom

[Aerows]

77. We can only hope

and work our behinds off to make it so!

[noiretextatique]

44. Take it as a compliment

The alerter was playing a stupid game and got smacked down by the jury 7-0. You were vindicated

[Aerows]

45. Thank you cher

I needed that. It was such an odd, out of nowhere accusation.

[noiretextatique]

50. No problem

There is a contigemt here that is trying to silence people. They got me once, but since I called one an imbecile, my post got deleted I considered that an honor too

[socialist_n_TN]

72. To me this kind of bullshit alert is a microcosm.........

of not having an FBI file in macro. If you don't have a file with the FBI, you're not doing it right.

[ScreamingMeemie]

60. I hope that alerter lost his/her posting privileges.

That's fucking insane.

[Aerows]

67. I'm flabbergasted.

I've been accused of a lot of things in my life, but a terrorist isn't one of them.

[PatrickforO]

19. It's a happy post! I'm sure as heck pissed.

It's why I'm supporting Bernie.

[Aerows]

22. I'm a sexy Bernie terrorist, I guess.

Don't you dare brandish a comb at me!

[Lunabell]

20. Proudly served on a jury

0-7 to leave it alone.

[Aerows]

21. I have no idea why I was called a terrorist.

Maybe I'm more dangerously sexy than I thought!

[Lunabell]

23. It was the content taken out of context.

u sexy thing you. LOL

Probably a "you know who but who's name can not be mentioned" supporter.

[VulgarPoet]

24. Dumbledore said it best.

“Call him Voldemort, Harry. Always use the proper name for things. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.”

[Aerows]

25. I *do* believe in miracles

[mia]

26. As much as I love DU, loyalties rule discussion here.

It's easier for me to discuss realities elsewhere.

[Aerows]

27. There are times

when you really know who your friends are.

Trust.

[pansypoo53219]

28. reaganomics was more than voodoo, it was a 3 card monty scam.

[Aerows]

35. And the number of people who fell for it

makes Madoff look like an amateur.

[Betty Karlson]

29. And beyond *pissed* after the undeserved crediting of Nancy Reagan's "AIDS advocacy".

May she rot in Hell for her calculated indifference.

[Aerows]

36. Some days, you wonder

Could I be anymore outraged?

Then *THAT* happens.

[Betty Karlson]

70. I was like an elephant bull during musk yesterday.

Could hardly contain the anger. Clinton has definitely and irreversibly lost me.

[Enthusiast]

31. Kicked and recommended a whole bunch!

[Aerows]

38. Thank you, cher!

I live in the Deep South and have Cajun roots so when I call you cher, it means an endearment, calling you a friend.

It's a weird habit I have been unable to break.

[Enthusiast]

41. I like you too.

[Aerows]

42. Thank you, cher

[Teamster Jeff]

32. kick rec

[Aerows]

39. You kicked an accused terrorists thread

Participating in Democracy is an act of terrorism these days, don't you know?

[Teamster Jeff]

43. yeah, strange days. Good Post

[H2O Man]

33. Recommended.

Thank you.

[Punkingal]

34. K&R

[Karma13612]

47. I'm pissed also.

And the more who are pissed, the stronger the revolution will be.

We focus our anger towards voting more progressives into office and primarying the butts of DINOs and Bluedogs and Republicans.

Next on the todo list:

Elect Bernie Sanders as POTUS 45!!

[Aerows]

49. Agreed!

I also does another thing - it allows other politicians that are sick of this buy partisanship to realize that they, too, can accomplish great things for our country.

Our political system is far too weighted down by the expectation that nothing can be done.

Low expectations promote disintegration.

[undergroundpanther]

52. Been pissed for years

Since Raygun was elected . I saw the changes and the lies and hated it. But back then people were so timid. I was a punk in the 80's and I still wear my mowhawk to this day. I was frustrated the gimme more yuppies blew the left off and Ive been pissed. at people who swallowed the damn kool aid raygun began making the rightwing/neoliberal butholes has been pushing ever since. I hated what the right was doing and wondering why the left just let these pigs have thier way for silly shit like the pmrc ...remember that crap well we still got those stupid labels on cd's. Fuck you very much nancy dead dried up bitch.

[Aerows]

58. It troubles the hell out of me

that Nancy Reagan is being lauded.

She did shack jit for those dying of HIV.

Despicable.

[Mbrow]

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Sanders supporter here. We have to police ourselves. Please hide this vulgar, illiterate, sexist post.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Mar 13, 2016, 05:35 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Amen! Political correctness is poison if we can't call an evil person evil names. Orwell would be proud. Soon we will not even be able to express discontent with anything, the words will be erased from the language. Room 101 for me I guess.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Juvenile profanity
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

[tahoocp]

81. Wow what character

Wow, you sound like a DU Trumpian, same character.

[bigwillq]

53. Most in government deserve a pink slip

Yes, the people are getting screwed. I want folks who are in government to work for the people and not for their Wall St. donors.

[undergroundpanther]

54. Government belongs to all

Not just rich people and the government isnt a for profit bizness either. These wall st. Fuckers and churches and corporate piggies better get thier greedy hands out of OUR government or they might just find them eaten by the public theyve extracted wealth out of and exploited for too much for too long.

[Aerows]

55. I think that is scaring the hell out of the DC bubble heads

They haven't had a big, whopping dose of accountability for so long, that they consider lying a catechism.

[Aerows]

64. And this why we should all take a look at our candidates.

No candidate is flawless.

Despite pretty Clinton rhetoric, every politician under the sun, past and present, has been ejected from office if they are shown to be egregious liars.

Hillary looks more like John Edwards every day.

[Aerows]

59. So what are we waiting for?

[Ivan Kaputski]

56. ~

[Aerows]

57. Thank you! n/t

[slipslidingaway]

61. People are fighting to survive and maybe die with some dignity ...

that is what the candidates who live in a bubble fail to grasp.

Clinton speaks of climbing ladders, yet she fails to see all those who have fallen a rung or two, NOT to mention those who were never even offered a ladder.

We're pissed and not in the British sense.

[Aerows]

62. Our government has become a tragedy.

You can't climb the ladder if you have 50 lbs. on your back.

We need a CHANGE.

That scares the shit out of DC, and it should.

Ignoring constituents as dumb sheep is at the peril of *both* parties. Strong, ethical members of Congress have tapped in the reality - people are tired of the status quo.

It stuns the folks that failed to even for a second endorse ...

Why on *Earth* did this not occur to everyone with political savvy the size of a flea!?

[slipslidingaway]

68. Well said and the tragedy is that too many people have never been given a leg up ...

sure we have all heard the phrase about puling oneself by their own bootstraps, but a little bit of kindness, inspiration and luck can go a hell of a long way!

There are two people running who will bring about 'radical' change, Sanders and the T word, he scares me. Obviously the establishment would prefer Clinton, if that is what the Dem establishment wants, then I say good luck getting the votes.

Said this last year when the DNC scheduled 4 debates before Iowa and let the Repubs and Trump have all the media attention for two months ... this is our election to lose.

Change is not easy and sometimes it becomes more difficult before people take notice, almost feel as if our party is saying once again 'I dare you.'

[WillyT]

63. HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

[Aerows]

65. Thank you, cher!

You are truly one of the best of us!

[Bern2WinUSA]

73. TRUE!!!!

About time!!! Every body who has a pulse and loves this country better damn well VOTE!!!! Too many have died for the right to be able to and Way too many are apathetic!!!!

People---If you want a Better system, If you want real Change and a Better Future for all of us---there is really only one logical choice!!!

Bring a friend, neighbor, coworker, relative-whoever then vote incl. 17 yr olds who will be 18 b4 Nov 8th!!

[Major Hogwash]

75. I like this last part the best.

We are coming for you to throw your dead asses out of government.

It is delicious.

[brooklynite]

78. Which ones are you planning to replace?

Al Franken?

Russ Feingold?

Sherrod Brown?

How many meet your exacting specifications? And who do you have to replace them with? (Hint: I've met most of our H/S candidates; most don't have an opponent that I think you'd approve of.)

[Octafish]

80. I'm pissed because at each election I press the lever for a Democrat.

And out pops Republican.

I'm not baffled why, cough Wall Street on the Potomac.

The thing is, my family, community, state, country and future need change.
