I feel the issue is the programming we have been fed for over eighty years. We have been told that we have to have results! There has to be 'progress'! Now, I agree with those sentiments, but I also know that we are doing lots of things to protest and fight for change and the media will not cover this because they don't want to upset the man-baby in the White House. So, we don't actually know what is happening unless the people involved tell us directly.

I feel that the Democratic Party needs to really push for communication with each other, outside of the regular channels of media. We are sitting and expecting others to do something, and (of course) so is everyone else. We need to understand that the entire public media (there are exceptions, of course) is up the orange gibbon's ass and is too afraid to tell the truth about what is really happening. We need to call them out at every opportunity when they do crap like this.

And, we need to stop pretending that using established means to change things is going to work, but that's another debate for another time.
