1/7 That the main "coalition" national groups which local groups put their faith in to make the call for mass direct actions today is still silent is a repeat of Florida in 2000. The strength of the Democratic Party Industrial Complex cannot be underestimated.
2/7 Not having gotten a text or email from Protect the Results late last night, let alone by now, is beyond troubling. Biden is doing as I predicted, following the "we are the grown ups, we should act like the grown ups."
3/7 Meanwhile, the forces behind Trump are right on schedule, they don't worry about acting like grown ups but focus on winning. As planned, they framed the narrative while national liberal groups, and national unions, are still debating whether to take to streets.
4/7 As a result, the people trusted to 'protect the results,' have fallen into the trap and even though some groups, like some local or statewide unions are calling for actions, the turnout will be lower and thus, it will not look good.

People, this shit isn't rocket science.
5/7 I have been saying we'd be lucky if we could drag a terrible candidate across the finish line, but enough groups worked hard enough that drag-we-likely-did--and to not do the defense of that hard work today is a strategic error, potentially fatal.
6/7 Talk to me tomorrow about how many times I have said, and written, that the pollsters are wrong. That highly charged, highly polarized elections are the bosses strategy, moving division and futility.
7/7 I wanted to be more wrong than ever today. But no. And now the national Party is playing Lucy with the football with the movement. The Call to the streets should have gone out the minute Trump held his press conference, if not long before.
