12. Freddie Stubbs was making a point by using a fictitious date
the poster I responded to appeared to not realize there was no April 31. I am giving the benefit of the doubt that he simply left off the sarcasm note. However, I sadly believe the poster really had no clue.

I find it difficult to take people calling for a revolution serious when they don't know the dates on a calender.

14. I called for the revolution, and I'm surprised
I even had to ask. It should have started already.

17. Then get used to being surprised.
You are delusional if you think there will be a counter-revolution.

You must start with the realization that this is a very narrowly targeted website. It does not represent the majority of the Dem party, let alone an appreciable percentage of the voting public.

Look at all the protests this weekend. A few hundred here, a thousand there. Even in the reporting overseas, the most generous estimate was 100K. This is nowhere near even 1%.

Can 1% start and successfully carry off a revolution? NO!

I can come in this board and read news, gain info and entertain myself...but I will not delude myself into thinking there is a popular uprising waiting to happen.

13. There never will be, nor there should there be, a counter-revolution
I wouldn't want to go back to the day when Great Brittian ran our country.

16. The revolution
begins and ends with injustice. The most organized take over the revolution that the mob begins. The counter revolution begins before the revolution ends, and it begins with a revolutionary trying to organize and control the revolution. The fallen die begging liberty to see what crimes are committed in her name.
