I'm serious. There is a very obvious anger issue with Trump supporters from the neutral observer's point of view. I actually feel a bit sorry for them. It must suck to be so mad all the time.
I see this also, Trump backers are just ANGRY, if the slightest comment that does not praise him appears.
Nah, we're used to it. Been going on over a year. Extreme butthurt
Thanks

With me voting for
John Shaw we'd have to set it up
as a win-win situation where everyone gets the representation
and leadership that works for them.
What I am proposing is to revamp the Electoral College system by district, where each party operating in that district can have proportional seats on a council or panel to receive and compile input DIRECTLY from party members, including grievances against govt abuses or discrimination by policies.
The power over the grievance and correction/reform process would be shared by people TRAINED to apply conflict resolution and consensus statements, as the Green party tries to do with proportional representation and with consensus based decisions. (I've met people who were Libertarian, progressive liberal, conservative Democrat, Constitutional etc. lobbying to either adapt the Grand Jury system for local people to check govt abuses, or who wrote state legislation for a local civilian oversight commission, or passed federal legislation to create democratically elected resident councils for community self-government, which are variations of the same concept, all locally managed as the common theme and structure)
What is missing is the training and assistance with people who can facilitate solutions, or can write out where parties clash and simply cannot resolve differences in beliefs. I would like a full time job helping to write out and present such "position statements" to Congress, based on field intake at district and precinct levels with collaboration from all parties with a vested stake in protecting equal representation of all people, regardless of religious or political beliefs or bias.
I notice
John Shaw is even more adept and astute at calling out the problem and stating it more precisely. I am better at fielding the input, but need to work with people like JS who can summarize it and make it mainstream for the public audiences.
If we work in teams, I think we can put this together.
then
DrLove ANYONE can lead or train for any office that fits their skills and the level of representation and population they can handle. By distributing the responsibility, we won't have backlogs and won't have people of conflicting beliefs imposing their biases on others who disagree. We'd organize by party and by district so people can get what they want and believe in, and separate from other people or groups who believe and want to fund a different policy!
That's what I hope to set up through the Greens and Democrats stuck outside the loop with this Administration and Congressional lineup. I am asking the liberal progressives to organize by district, around precinct structures of the local party leadership and membership, to use indymedia and pacifica public radio and TV to mobilize local resources, and set up solutions directly as models to advertise/publicize for other cities around the nation to follow.
Instead of agonizing, organize. DIY. And actions speak louder than words. Do and build what you believe in, and the money and leadership would follow a good lead.
DrLove John Shaw seriously, I do want to connect people like you on USMB with this same vision and ability to promote it through the media. We can use the podcasts here, link to facebook and twitter, and get this going with pockets of people from various political groups, and start more people doing the same in teams in their own districts. Different parties shouldn't get in the way, but serve as a catalyst for change. We NEED likeminded people of DIFFERENT parties to collaborate to set the better example for the nation and leaders to follow.
So this is taking the bull by the horns, and turning the tables on govt. the people need to do this, because we are the only ones who can cross the lines and get this done. Then others will follow.
Would love to work with both of you, and form teams of others who want solutions and not more backlog, bullying and backbiting!
