Just posted over at Care2 on my unhappiness with the effort to create a “Coffee Party” movement:

Progressives don’t need a Coffee Party.  We just need more caffeine.

The challenge right now isn’t a lack of mobilization mechanisms — after all, other groups, including MoveOn, Organizing for America, and a little thing called the Democratic Party already exist.  The real problem is that we progressives are apathetic, scared and demoralized.  We look at the energy generated by the right and wonder what happened to our mojo.  We see the Republican Party’s steadfast opposition to all Administration initiatives and moan about how dysfunctional our political system is.

Please.  It’s time for progressives to get angry, not cute.
