 If the democrats actually want to win media cycles when they need to (like now) -- trust me, I'm not saying they are -- but if they were to care, they need a big, loud, crass person with balls to go on traditional media, on every station and loudly explain that what is happening to people today is because of what will happen to millions in 2 1/2 months.  They need to have the purpose of not backing down to the corporate capitalist media, or their garbage fake pundits, they must stay on point and stick it all on the republicans.  Use their own words against them, have public examples of their blatant hypocrisy memorized.  Ignore the whataboutisms, or better yet, calmly explain to the American public if they really pay attention, the republicans don't ever actually say anything that based in truth, they haven't in my lifetime, it's all deflection. Someone that won't let the hosts or the guests pull them away from their main points, chaining one to the next.  We have no one with charisma out there because bland middle of the road neolibs have no rizz and they don't want anyone being a spokesperson for 65% of the country unless they know they're on a leash.  All of the fun, funny, serious and smart people are ignored and sidelined because they're leftists.  It will take the democratic party elevating one of these people and backing them no matter what they say or do, it is the only thing that will turn this around for them, has been for about a decade now. Imagine having a young hot Bernie type, who speaks how we do and knows their shit. Sam used to be this kind of guy, to a certain degree, but I think Dad Sam came first.  Still, he would be valuable out there on the cable shows more often, but he's too smart, knows his shit, and isn't intimidated by anyone, so he doesn't get booked.  They want dummies to poke at, show how easily pushed around "leftist" (they're not leftists) are. First thing's first, expose the media and force them away from the right, by convincing to the public to react to the media's own obvious spin and lies with their wallets.  Go back to the basics, use your voice, your labor, your wallet, and you bodies to show our numbers.  We vastly out number them , we just need to remember there are unexpected allies out there, we just have to make them feel safe, supported, and smart enough to start to speak up.  DON'T LET DEMOCRATS AND THE DNC CO-OPT MESSAGES, THEN SHOOT THE MESSENGER IN ORDER TO WATER DOWN THE RESPONSE.  We have to tell them with our words and money they need to step aside, because they don't speak for us anymore

Astrophysicists and the scientific community at large, hear me out.  What if we told the billionaires that there is a new, better earth that’s within traveling distance and we figured out how to safely get there.  They could be the first to go, but they have to pay for it.  So then we take all of their money, create an elaborate set and simulated rocket ride, convince them they’ll have to sleep for insert number of years.  They wake up on a desolate island in the middle of nowhere with no communication, but the nicest underground bunker they can all live their days out thinking they’re inhabiting a new planet that is not safe to explore, and everyone on earth is envious and jealous. Everyone thinks they're SO COOL. Then we use the money to put fossil fuels down once and for all, create housing, food, health care for everyone. Save the earth, remove the billionaires. Put cameras every in inch of the bunker.  New favorite show.  

Win-win-win.

Normalize Saying 

My Daddy was Wrong

-          maybe about a lot of things

My Mommy Made Mistakes

-          And sometimes she didn’t think of us

I was selfish and an asshole

I thought I could protect myself from unwanted pain

I was wrong. I often caused more. For me.  For them.

 I may not know a lot, but there is one thing

-          I can only do better if I try

 --------------------

 [zong? vomit??]

Ignored feelings that made me a garbage person. 

I tried.  

I really tried 

To convince myself 

I was just a piece of shit. 

That I made it all up for selfish reasons. 

True colors come through. 

For years. 

And years.   

But here I am, still wondering.  

Was it? 

Or is it?  

All in my head?  

Either way, I'm still a piece of shit.  

To you.  

To me.  

In my mind. 

In my life.  

Yet, I still can't let go.  

The past is long gone, yet still remains.  

In my heart. 

 In my bones.  

I don't want to face it,

I'm a forgettable shadow. 

Alone.

While I think of you often, I often try not to. 

I bet you barely remember my name. 

Long forgot my face.

No use for my voice.

No one can be blamed for the forgettable lack of a presence.  

No one else remembers.  

I wish I could forget.  

But then I'd have nothing.

 

Sleep now. You gave it your best shot.

Julia Butterfly sleeps in the trees, why can’t we?
