I have read the book WE ARE INDIVISIBLE and believe that the STRUCTURE of the indivisible movement(s) [plural!] forms the basis of what Mark describes he tried to do in Ohio --- they are people who meet face to face regularly --- their job is NOT just to run candidates - though they have done that for sure -- but to PRESSURE people in office (and that includes DEMS --- lots of local demonstrations are aimed at FORCING Dems to be more resistant to the Republican agenda --- I would bet that is the reason the so-called "moderate" Dems in the Senate voted for impeachment --- they guessed that a vote against convicting Trump will hurt more than angering Republicans --- Senator Doug JOnes clearly recognized that he owed his election to black women and he needs them to tirelessly work for his re-election if he is to stand a chance ---) The book ends with a rather high quality democratic (small "d") reform agenda --- doesn't come close to a truly radical economic and social agenda but it is a way of channeling energy into something useful --- I recommend that book highly -- it can be read in almost one sitting! _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
