Hillary will now officially lead the McResistance
Give the Republicans some credit.
At least the GOP could maintain some thin, superficial appearance of a grassroots movement.
The Democrats are completely unable to do the same.
Onward Together is dedicated to advancing the vision that earned nearly 66 million votes in the last election. By encouraging people to organize, get involved, and run for office, Onward Together will advance progressive values and work to build a brighter future for generations to come.
The good news is that you can donate to Hillary's McResistance on that web site.

It's not that we should criticize the Dems too much.
After all, they are wise enough to learn from the GOP playbook.
The Tea Party, a Koch-backed rightwing insurgent, captured the Republican Party in the wake of Obama’s 2008 electoral victory.Indivisibility seems a replay, but from the left. It is helping to facilitate “groups taking indivisible action.” Originally developed by Democrats to mirror Tea Party organizing policies, it is designed to promote local activities preparing for the next Congressional elections. The group claims that “more than 4,500 local groups have signed up to resist the Trump agenda in nearly every congressional district in the country.”

The mighty Casey has struck out,
and the ninth inning will not be re-played. Alas and alack. Maybe Mudville should give Casey a nice long rest, and work on improving its bullpen.

Most excellent analogy
What's a resistance resister called?
I am not with her, obviously. Or him. The Clintons can't get a real job it seems, they can only beg money from big donors anymore, their specialty. I feel kind of sorry for them but not really. They are stinking rich after all, and keep ruining this country with greed. I resist that, them, the whole shit show of inequality they thrive in and perpetuate. Not needed.
Edit: took out the middle finger part to add I am not with these folks either, tentacles are here: Swing Left, Emerge America, Color of Change, Indivisible and Run for Something. So I guess she is trying to build the neo-lib coalitions to protect their nut.

Resistance resister
An LC circuit is an idealized model since it assumes there is no dissipation of energy due to resistance.
There is no such thing as TMI. It can always be held in reserve for extortion.
Ha ha was just looking up wikipedia
Just in time for our state convention: "All delegates show some resistance, except for superdelegates, which have a resistance of zero."
See what I mean?

resistance of zero
Love that!!

Resisters and resistors
You spoke of resistors in a corrupt system! I then chimed in about having experienced the consequences of resistors in corrupt systems many times, and it just took off from there -- to the point where it now has taken on a life of its own!

The McResistance, done from
The McResistance, done from our McMansions because "we care".
The Democratic Party is the house your grandparents and great
grandparents built. Great folks, for the people and the workers, egalitarians, created the American middle class, fought for the safety nets, labor laws, minimum wages, civil rights, and a host of other great stuff. Their pictures hang all over the place and lots of people in town revere their memories.
But then your parents took over, who I hate to say it, are yuppy neo-liberal authoritarian meritocratic shits who got all the advantages of the society your greats and grands created and then proceeded to dismantle it. They and their friends have cocktail parties and fundraisers and pat themselves on the back for the very little tiny beensy bit of good they do when they're not hobnobbing and enriching themselves. The town has gone to shit, but they are unaware of it because they and their friends live in gated communities. You, their liberal offspring, who spent more time with your grandparents than them, now live in the basement on a pull-out couch. They begrudge your presence because they really want to build a wine cellar down there, and your whiny presence is a hindrance to them. They think its time for you to launch on your own, but you insist on hanging around because you're so emotionally attached to the old place. They've cut the heat off to the basement,and they only allow you upstairs every two years when there is a family event where they need you to put on a suit and turn out. They know you're a vegetarian, but they roast a whole pig and don't really serve anything you can eat, so you always leave these events hungry and then slink off back to the basement.
Given this scenario, IMO, it IS a moral failing to continue to live in the basement instead of moving out, getting an apartment, making new friends and hopefully building a house of your own where you can continue the traditions your grandparents started.

Hey, don't blame
The takeover was planned at the higher levels. It was funded by republicans. Choices to elect became worse and worse, and now, people do not expect or demand much from their employees (politicians). The power difference between regular voters and the owners of Congress grew and grew.
I still wish to this day that the dems who quit Congress during the Newt Gingrich years had hung on a while longer.

Brilliant metaphor, Phoebe!
You've got an essay in there.
"If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph:
THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED
FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
WAS MUSIC"

F'ing $hillary go away!
#OnwardTogether = @HillaryClinton slush fund for #McResistance related graft
Wow....just wow....!
I'm glad you're posting again, Ms. Phoebe. Please make this comment a diary, okay? Rec'd and comment Rec'd!!

Resist, insist, persist, enlist
Let's see how Bernie reacts to Hitlery coopting Our Revolution with faux progressive slogans/groups and Her recurring donations button. "Onward Together" is registered as a dark money, 501(c)4 "social welfare organization". If Bern starts supporting and shilling for Her "candidates", we will once and for all learn if Bern is Her sheepdog or for Us.
Didn't "The Resistance" used to mean those brave people
who fought the brutal Nazi occupation during World War II? I'm pretty sure none of them had a need for focus groups and fancy logos with arrows and a bunch of slimy propagandists.
Beware the bullshit factories.
Yep, French, Poles, and Russians...
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.

Sheep have to be led, the arrows help.
Hey, that arrow doesn't point onward!
It points sideways, and to the right.
"Obama promised transparency, but Assange is the one who brought it."
Yeah, because that worked out so well the last time...
...Also, who knew that leading the resistance included invitations to your opponent's million-dollar weddings and hanging out in Davos together. You'll also need to update your headline. It should read, "Hillary will now officially lead the McResistance off a cliff."
I want my two dollars!
Clinton "resistance" analogous to Hunger Games
H. Clinton=President Coin.
If I understood the movie correctly, Katniss became convinced that Coin was making a power grab for her own gain and leading a resistance was all sham. Katniss took care of that. We have started to do the same with the 2016 Clinton loss. Keep the arrows flying.
