The Daily Good Morning *Afternoon Repast* 01252018

Interestingly, it seems we never ran this post - opted instead for a Trump cartoon this day (see today's other Repast post floating around this digital sea somewhere...).

 

Don't recall why we changed it - usually we would have run it the next day. Maybe we just forgot, or maybe it felt too...crankypants toward the Establishment Democrats (E.D.) right after the inauguration when everybody was licking wounds and it was more fitting to turn toward President v45...or maybe it was too wordy (often the case with us).

 

Or maybe, it was very very truthful...it would be a hell of an activism to actually move millions of people so as to have an effect on the vote. Vote Migration...maybe that's too much...

 

Either way (or maybe better yet), one year later, the sentiment is fascinating as we all wonder if this wave of election success against the Republicans will carry into 2018...and also in what form - more E.D. or a true left?

 

Because...we're in no need of more E.D. - no more need of centrist right one-party-masquerading-as-two-party nonsense. We bring down the oligarchy here and now, or we watch their castle grow to an unclimbable height.

***Our daily look back at this time, last year***

 

1) The idea that having won the popular vote by three million indicates any sort of right to rule.

 

While the argument can be made that the Electoral College should not undo the popular vote...if the country were so pro-Democrat, wouldn’t the party have won the Senate and the House?

 

So, we suggest 4 million Democrat voters from California make a sacrifice and move house and home to traditionally red states. This will help move relevant vote totals in 2018. Yes? No? Then shall we drop this line of mis-reasoning?

 

We need action now - not blame, not the same game or vapid establishment names.
