My GoFundMe update report - November 10, 2024 - In defense of women.

Let us try to elevate this reproductive rights discussion beyond the same old cliches to a more empathic thoughtful level.

My GoFundMe update report of November 10, 2024 

In Defense of Women (postcard activism)

 * I want to send my heart felt thanks and appreciation to GoFundMe, and staff, for allowing me this opportunity, and for allowing me to hang on despite so little support. I have the postcards ready to go, and there's a greater need than ever for these simple and constructive thoughts to be shared and discussed. If we aren't changing minds we are losing.

======================
November 10, 2024
Since my last update, my life has been tremendously crowded busy, with some civic work, travel and caretaking grandchildren, working around our cabin, and of course my Maddy dog and the many walks she expects and that keep me exercising. I'll admit, I was brought low by the lack of support and interest, topped off by another brush off from my friends within the Local Democratic Party when I personally reached out to them for a little help and support in reaching out with this postcard and some help with stamps. Seems they thought it was a mute issue, already won and not important just then - another belly punch that knocked the wind out of me and had me returning to other chores.

Democratic Party Online Discussion Forum revisited

I took a bit of flack for the following suggestion during the previous election cycle.  Then I got a big DNC brush off and gave up, life's way crowded for me anyway, who cares anyways?  Then reality came around to deliver another wrenching gut punch election failure.  

Now I, and everyone, get to absorb the result and consequences of the Democratic National Committee continuing to play yesteryear's politics.  Rather than working on reaching out, engaging voters, helping to network, providing a platform for education and invigorating convictions.  Instead, the campaign gave America a feel good party most were not in the mood for.  So instead they picked a wannabe dictator.

What the hell, I might as well float this idea again - for a vigorous opposition party.

Googling, “Why are Democrats losing voters?” reveals that voters who care are feeling so disenfranchised by the Democratic Party that they are turning off in droves.
