I did my duty

Posted on November 6, 2002 in Liberals & Progressives

I did my duty. I voted. Now along with other liberals, I prepare to face the taunts of the Republican winners.

What the Democrats seem to lack is a sense of unity and purpose against a media machine which rigorously keeps out criticism of this unelected President. I fear many will give up now.

My conscience is clear. I spoke. I urged. I acted. And I will continue to do all three.

In my opinion, we must stop the demonstrations against globalism and concentrate more on educating people about it. Education works far better than repeated media circuses where our numbers will be undercounted and our message distorted. We still have the InterNet. Moveon has shown that it is possible to win races with the Net. We must broaden our focus for a takeover of the Democratic National Committee, now, and reset the direction towards one based on populism. We won where this became the theme. We won where we pointed out that people mattered more than money. There’s our lesson from this election.
