and yet dems claimed for nearly a decade that the tea party is nothing but an astroturf op funded and operated by the koch brothers.

I don't see how that's mutually exclusive. You can be a privately funded astroturf org and still rile up the hicks and olds

lol @ making GBS threads on people actually trying to do poo poo to stop the gop from ruining people's lives, other than posting on forums and being bitter over previous decades of failed activism.

The local indivisible chapter in my area is alright they are good about organzing and showing up to events, though I think they won't last long if the dems make progress since "resist tromp" wont really give much direction when trump isnt in office or gets stonewalled by a hostile congress

yeah the action guide is explicitly saying "actually the 2009 tea party was good at loving over dems and we should emulate their tactics"

uh what did the 2009 tea party accomplish, other than providing a fertile breeding ground for extremism when the Dems completely ignored it?

the logic is that the energy of the tea party movement propelled gop turnout high enough to take back the house in 2010 while also pressuring gop senators/reps to prevent them from caving on popular dem legislation

FWIW the wonks have been trying to emulate the tea party since the tea party happened. Throughout occupy there were probably 3 or 4 demoratic PACs that tried very hard to shape it into a democratic tea party and that was like a year or two after the birth of the Tea Party.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

the tea party wave was extremely strong in making all republicans lurch into the death-cult level of far right or risk getting primaried by a nutjob with $texas levels of outside money but that doesn't mean it wasn't bankrolled and astroturfed by the kochs et al

I had a thought awhile ago that if doobie's dog house had stayed open, with the giant pepe painted on the side of the place and the SA donation story that opened the place most people that knew anything about the net would assume it was an alt-right thing.

it pretty much exclusively wiped out the Blue Dogs

turns out being a Democrat who campaigns on being against the popular Democratic president, and voting for that Democratic president's initiative despite saying you oppose it, is not a winning electoral strategy in these highly charged political times

does that "ton" include anything having to do with pushing for single-payer, affordable college, and a living wage, or is it just tepid vigils and thanking our dem lawmakers for their valiant efforts in maintaining a miserable status quo?

well anyone can make an event on indivisible so feel free to join your local chapter and get people to come to your single payer affordable college living wage events.

i didn't say that, but anyway if they use it as a hook (it has 119 people signed up as 'going') to sign up people for more substantial events, or get people to bring their friends into the network, it's a good organizing event!
