I have a serious question. What does it mean to be on the frontline? It's obvious that she intends to do something and push the system, but it's not "revolution", as she says she is for. She is arguing for action inside the system, but that is not revolutionary.
I very much want to force change, but it sounds more like she doesn't want to be on the frontline, but instead call others to action.
I'm horrified by what we as Americans are doing to people of all stripes coming to the US. We are supposed to be the land of opportunity, the land that is welcoming to all. Some claim that we are a nation based on Christian morals, but then we throw out the primary messages of being Christian. It's horrendous.
So what is the best way to fight this? The things which are getting the most attention recently are the large marches. I suppose that's the place to start, and it feels tangible. Civil disobedience, boycotting supporters of these policies, these seem to cause the powers that be to take notice.
