I am so tired of hearing the same talking heads who deliver zero results. We don't need Jeffries to tell us Trump lies. We know he lies. We need Jeffries to DO something besides run his mouth.
What can he do? Start with some energized rallies. I like Jeffries, but he is too nice for this job right now. "Come together" is not going to cut it right now. I have no desire to come together with people who look the other way while Trump hands over Eastern Europe to Putin.
This used to be a thing when their reelection was on the line because people might not vote for them but in today’s world where Trump makes statements about Musk saying “He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide." - well we can’t even be sure that they care about our votes.
I downloaded the 5 calls app it gives me the numbers needed, lets me pick what I want to call about, gives me a script. This has been so helpful to me!
I wrote my senator every day for the last couple weeks. Today we hear in a news bulletin that's she's joining Doge to help them root out waste. It's pretty discouraging; so how's everyone else doing with their letter writing/call campaigns.?
Call her and tell her you are not happy about her joining DODGE. The waste is DODGE and Elon's contracts. What about the waste in her Congressional office? Thank you for your work and efforts to contact your representative. Please keep it out and get your friends to help out too.
It has been said in many ways and by people who have worked in a Senator’s or Congressperson’s office that the best way to be a real influence is to call not write. Also, go to town halls. I am calling my Congressman every day I can. I have three numbers to his office to choose from. CALL YOUR SENATORS. Oh, and call your Congressperson.
I called and emailed Rep.Tom Kean, R-NJ. I get either a generic letter that doesn't address my issues or when I call they make excuses why he hasn't arranged a town hall. I also called and emailed Sen.Andy Kim, D-NJ and no response. Frankly, I'm disgusted with our country.
I am happy to say I live in New York. Senator Schumer tries but he just reads speeches. He needs to have some sort of feeling. Senator Gillibrand does help people but she needs to be more vocal on her stand against Trump. Governor Hochul just laid into Trump about being King. She has finally gotten fierce.
My senator,T Tillis co-sponserd the SAVE ACT,yet I write him everyday requesting he stand up to trump's hateful agenda.It doesn't help but he is getting the msg he is losing support for his run in 2026.
Please keep it up. I live in a very Dem leaning city and state. I attended a Town hall with our US Representative Pramila Jayapal.
She clearly asked us to contact friends who have GOP reps and keep the calls constant. And to find ways to tell the TRUTH. Misinformation continues. Thank you for activism.
I love Pramila! I'm in Adam Smith's district and will be attending a Town hall soon.
Funny story... I saw her in a Burien Italian restaurant were she was seated next to my table. I got star struck! Never thought it could happen to me. :)
Still call them. Emails are easier to dismiss. I am going to start calling every day and I think I will include Mike Johnson - dirtbag, Jamie Raskin - my hero and Jasmine Crocket - my hero as well.
Keep calling, keep writing, and keep working at the community and city level. BUT, we need our congressional leaders, and especially our selfish, silent Republican senators to stand up with us and use their power to speak out and act on defeating Trump’s Project 2025 agenda. We need the Democratic Party to identify a charismatic, strong leader NOW✌️. That’s what I call standing together to keep our country from being sold to Putin. Democracy Strong!
Stand up and scream and be visible. Go by the 10's of thousands and surround Trump at his golf course, the puppets he put into congress and the house and the DOJ and the Supreme Court. We outnumber them by millions and millions!
Jeffries comment to vote in the midterms in order to turn the legislation around is niave..too nice..the gop has hijacked our voter system. They simply ignore or manipulate counts, or suppress our vote. I won't stop voting, but I know it may be compromised. Remember during the election he promised to "fix" things so we would" never have to vote again "
There won't be a y elections.They also passed a bill that you need a birth certificate and a passport to vote. Married women's names won't match on both documents. So they won't be allowed to vote. The only thing I can think of is women go to their maiden name
You call that corruption? Receiving money from AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee)? And of course you have proof of this? The most corrupt politician in America is Donald Trump. No one comes close to him.
As I asked above, where is your proof? Also, may I add, what were any funds received used for? If they were campaign contributions, that is perfectly legal. AIPAC is US based. Any other uses, you will have to document.
Actually Mary it’s really up to us, those (we) who elect these people to assist in this halt to the overturning of democracy. There are three special elections THIS YEAR. Two in FL and one in upstate NY. Politicians on the hill have only so much they can do without US electing people who can support their agenda. How about the people get going and help get these people elected to stop the bleeding. It’s what WE can do.
I suspected the electoral Votes were manipulated. Free research shows many ballots were manipulated. There needs to be a recount asap. Some ballots show a resident voted Democrat down ballot but voted for 45/47. That does Not make sense. 5,000 of these were found in one precinct.
Thank you for your question. It's a good one. All means of voting are vulnerable. There are investigations starting about how Trump was able to win, and it appears that there was fraud. We will have to wait to see how it was done, but I think that it was done electronically. It only takes milliseconds to intercept a transmission and alter it. Elon Musk is capable of doing that.
I am concerned about the paper ballot, because trump was pushing so hard for their return during the election..I don't know how it would be beneficial to him. Any input would be greatly appreciated
The democrats have to start fighting the laws which are obviously unconstitutional and racially bias. Maybe they are, I don’t know. I haven’t seen it. Jim Crow laws are still in effect and the republicans are using additional racially bias laws to keep PoC from voting fairly.
How is the DNC supporting the Dems in those 3 elections? Have they given up in advance? At the very least, the DNC could partner with the 3 candidates to test out approaches & messaging ahead of the midterms.
How many votes over do we need? Because even as voter suppression stands today, in 2 years will be worse. Also, whatever happens with the SAVE act and the USPS. Do we really think that there will be another honest election?
Stand at the podium on the house floor and scream at the top of his lungs just what the nazi's are doing. At least that is something. Telling us what we all know is useless.
I agree. So tired of this useless talk. why are they not in session AGAIN until next week? plus it’s not 2017! what they’ve done in less then 30 days to destabilize this country can’t compare imo.
He needs help from people, the ones to lazy to vote, the ones who tell themselves it won't affect them and the ones who don't watch anything but right wing propaganda.
That's nice, but the Republicans own the entire govt. The House, the Senate, and Musk as Prez with Trump as his lapdog. This is by far the sickest govt I have witnessed.
The ELEPHANT in the room is the allowing of Corporate-bought politicians on both sides. It’s the only thing I can think of that would keep congress from shouting to the rooftops.
Since the very day when the cynically named "citizen's united" was enacted by the fascist roberts's court back in 2010 i.e. 15 years ago, I've been daily, I repeat, daily signing and sending hundreds of petitions against it!! Now it's 2025 and still doing it - could you possibly then count how many millions (or, is it billions) of anti-so-called "citizens united" petitions I've signed and sent..........
Why, what exactly do you think anyone else could do more than Jeffries. His demeanor has leadership qualities whereas Crockett is too abrasive and can turn people off. AOC possibly in the near future.
I don't think Jeffries can do anything else. He's a good leader I am not questioning that and neither should anyone else. He is just not a good leader for this moment in history. Here are my thoughts... Getting the party organized and everyone on the same page with the same talking points beating it into the public is like herding cats. You could have a great toy sitting in the middle of the room full of cats. Sure you'll get a couple of cats playing with it but most will sit there bored because the toy doesn't fight back. Now as a leader we need a flute player of sorts. One that can distract and lead the rats out of the room and give a few key people laser pointers to get all the cats in the room totally involved. (Ie.. The laser beams are a few specific focused agenda items to non-stop hammer home.)
Example... A leader would tell AOC focus on X, Crockett focus on Y, Garcia you focus on z. And beat the living hell out of the media screaming it to the heavens for every person to see and completely taking over media. Those are the laser beam holders.
In the process of doing this the geriatrics that are out of touch with 'We the People' must be made to resign! By the time a special election is called momentum will completely be in our favor. We have a very deep bench and these geriatrics are just as corrupt and responsible for all this as the Republicans.
I for one will support any primary Challenger with all I have to any geriatric or wanna be good o'l boy that goes along with anything the Republicans put on the table. That especially includes Mark Kelly whom I donated hundreds to and gallego. They voted for Trump's appointees almost more than anyone else.
To the geriatrics and you know who you are...
I know you may think you can still help. Ginsburg thought the same thing. I have ENORMOUS respect for her but she really effed up by not bowing out earlier to ensure a liberal justice. Geriatrics you are doing the same thing! You will kill us all! Bow out now!
Do the right thing and relinquish. Go home knowing you did your best.
There is nothing anyone can do to stop Trump from lying. It works for him and he's going to keep doing it as long as there are people dumb enough to believe it. As George Carlin once said- "Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups". Trump's lies got him back in.
I truly think Jeffries is a good guy but he just doesn't have enough fire. You see someone like Crockett or AOC and you feel bolstered. I know Dems are in the minority but we are literally giving away our freedoms. We are betraying our allies. The time of politeness has passed. We need drastic measures or it will be too late. I never thought a government falling to autocracy would be so...quiet.
Agree,Beth.I too feel bolstered with Jasmine Crockett and AOC.Also Maxwell Frost.I watched Scott Dworkin podcast with Beto today and he was on 🔥🔥🔥. Yes, no time to be….quiet!!
On youtube I was comparing Dick Durbin's and Bernie Sanders's addresses re: tRumputin's terror over Ukraine - Bernie Sanders was so excellent to listen to, energetic, clearly and loudly (though, I'd prefer louder too) spoken - while Durbin like on life support barely audible almost mumbling.
Sigh, eh, dear Bernie Sanders if only USA was smart enough to ever elect you.....
Stop pretending we aren’t! Some of us are protesting and organizing, but when Jeffries complies in advance, we lose any power we feel we gain. We need them with us! AOC and Crockett can’t do it alone. We need all of them to show tf up!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 first I ever hear of it. That goes to show you how good they are at marketing! What the hell are they going to do sitting in an office. The Free press is already doing that a hell of a lot better than the Dems are 🤬
Indeed - if Democrats need to get their ideas from regular people so to have an idea of what to do, then Democrats might as well abolish the party itself i.e. themselves..... extremely sad.....
Now you're talking! I feel the country rising to the level of Jan 6th. That's what they want us to do so we look like every name they call us. Discredit us to the world. Peaceful protests.
tsk, tsk.... if you let those dreads internalized, you'll never accomplish anything. first off, you're starting off with the false equivalences quasi-"premises" - please, don't do that, you need to liberate your frame of mind!! namely, jan 6th 2021 insurrectionist terrorism was perpetrated by tRumputinists!! so, why do you in your conscious (or, was it subconscious) level relate in any way to that??????????? as to them (or anyone malevolent) they call you much worse than even insurrectionist - anyways-already-no matter what. You can't allow your life, rights and interests be defined, controlled, not to mention, fenced in by the malevolent ones!! Btw. always keep in mind that Washington DC is the most Democratic-voting Territory in America!! That means - it's tRumputinist repukkke magats who should NOT have any business even being in Washington DC!!
Democrats, I keep telling you - assert your control and stand your ground!!
Yep and that needs to be thrown back at and discarded routinely from the get go, instead of internalizing it in a stockholm-syndrome-like masochistic illness!!
Democrats must have a fighting, unabashed, unapologetic, empowering mindset if Democrats even think of accomplishing anything, NOT a scaredy, dreading, timid mindset!! Truth and facts are on Democrats' side - it's your best weapon, for Chrissakes, and grow a pair and stand your ground!!
That BUT part IS the part that matters the most!! If you can't or don't know how to be self-defensive and more dominant, then, let somebody else who can and knows - and if in Democratic Party of USA there are no self-defensive nor more dominant folks, then, hate to tell you the extremely ugly reality that is, but you might as well quit existing..... The worst of Darwin-ist survival of the fittest is imposed, let it sink to you, it is imposed - so learn to swim and win, folks!!
And, no, I don't enjoy having to teach the others who cherish the truth and facts - the sacred importance of self-defense - if that person doesn't have it in himself/herself, it becomes too excruciating efffin' frustrating to me. Democrats AS SOCIAL AND POLITICAL SERVANTS MUST BE EFFICIENTLY SELF-DEFENSIVE AND DOMINANT WITH ALL AND EVERY MEANS - WITHOUT ANYONE EVEN HAVING TO TELL THEM!!
I’m sorry, but it sounds like the same old weak conversation that Jefferies has been having since this all started. He needs to step aside and get someone else in the leadership.
This guy is milk toast. Couldn't agree with you more. He is not a fighter. I'd rather have Pelosi even at her age rather than Jefferies. She could get something done or at least draw attention to it.
The democrats should be on the house floor decrying the nazi's and what they are doing. Jefferies is useless.
I down loaded the APP Your Impact on my phone. Trumps current concerns r listed. You put in ur zip code to know who to contact in Washington. Scrips and all about the issues r explained too. There’s more. So this app is great and people answer in DC.
I am! I am a retired school teacher who works everyday with my undocumented neighbors. I post on my Facebook and those people who do not agree are reading and responding. That is what we need. But it takes work. No one else is going to do it for you.
He needs to adjust his strategy. NO deals with republicans. THEY need to demonstrate a love for democracy. They’ve given up to the heritage foundations and tech bros’ dictatorship plan.
Yes AND also the Democracy-loyal white men who are intelligent enough to cherish the diversity, civil and human rights. Those white men who are everything opposite from the racists and male-chauvinists!! Those white men who validate their masculinity in being fully comfortable and confident in/with the diversity, equality and inclusion!! Those white men who are gentlemen in real sense of the word!!
Everyone is waiting for leadership to stand up! But only a few have, where is everyone?? Stop running around in circles trying to catch up to 47! Get organized!
Already engaged with Indivisible locally and have done 2 active protests Kathleen Sometimes I fear some really negative talk on threads are from Russian/MAGA plants Yea yea I know conspiracy but in this day and age anything is possible with these guys penetrating MTN Agree that we need more leaders to begin mobilizing people Congressional Democratic elected officials need to engage On a call with Senator Cantwell's staff today....we need to hear from her Bernie Sanders is showing by example
Absolutely Cindie. Most all efforts need to be be put into the WI Supreme Court race with such a resounding victory that from Madison to Juneau to Honolulu to Tallahassee folks bend the knee (so to speak).
If it is determined that a small amount of resources can be allocated to Florida, then great.
I will add that Robert Hubbell overnight has offered up Florida as an opportunity. And to embrace the Florida Dems. My perspective has evolved. And that is a good thing.
It’s attitude’s like this that doesn’t help our cause!! We need to unify the more seats we have the better! That’s how Republicans are confirming the 🤡 cabinet!! They are shutting down the committee who wants to take down Elon Musk!! Screaming NO! isn’t going to help!! Do your research!!
I'd like to see Jeffries, AOC, Crockett go to FL 01 and FL 06. Hold rallies there. Raise money and flip those seats. Also go to NY 21 and win that seat.
Rep Jefferies, I have contacted your office in Washington asking where the devil are the protections for my data! Why wasn’t the National Guard put at federal buildings to stop trump’s thug from entering? He doesn’t have the power yet there he went. I call attention to the Tenth Amendment and the legality of stopping Federal usurpation. Our soldiers give an oath, as you in the House & Senate, to protect the Constitution. Why aren’t you? What can musk do with our information? Erase it? Sell it? Blackmail us? Thanks for protecting us, says NO ONE.
I’m not sure, but since DC is not a state, do they have a unit of National Guard? Also, it is WE THE PEOPLE who have the power by the constitution. Why is no one out there like they were in South Korea when their president declared martial law? Their people took to the streets by the millions in protest and stopped him. Then they impeached him. If we want our politicians to take brave action WE THE PEOPLE have to respond so they know if they don’t do what it takes to impeach him WE THE PEOPLE will take control and they will all be out of a job.
Yes, both of you Deborah Darling and Mary Hro are reasoning well and solution-oriented which is what is needed now the most!!
I've been saying since nov 6th 2024 on -
1. do NOT let tRumputin-eVIlonmusk-their cabal into Washington D.C. !!
2. all NONtRumputinist and ANTItRumputinist Americans must be concrete-strong united in hugest numbers ever so to fight and defeat the tRumputin-eVIlonmusk-reign of terror!!
When are some of these self-professed macho men, in the GOP and MAGA, going to stand up to Trump, FOR OUR COUNTRY, DEMOCRACY, CONSTITUTION, RULE OF LAW?! So far they have proven to be lying spineless traitors, who continue to kiss Trump's ass for a buck, and Iawless, unlimited power! How do they even look their children, families, and constituents in the eye, while betraying them all every day. All will be recorded in history, as a complete corrupt disgrace, traitors to the United States of America, who chose to turn their backs on the USA, betray us, and team with communist, murderous Russia, and has stomped all over our Constitution and laws.
My friend, according to their crazy heads, "being macho" is being slave to tRumputin-their ideology-and-practices. that's what greedy odious perverts i.e. gop are all about.
I heard Jeffries said, "there's nothing we can do", referring to democrat resistance to MAGA. I submit, half the problem is democrats, like Jeffries, or Schumer, throwing their hands up and rolling over. I'm sick of it. We need some real junk yard dogs...Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders, Jasmin Crockett, Adam Schiff....c'mon...fight back! Take a lesson from the GOP during Obama's tenure.
We need a powerhouse team that works together to execute a powerful counter-attack plan. The best minds for strategy and the best people executing. Money can be raised for that type of effort, but we need to feel that we are in the right leadership hands.
Ummmm. Why are congresspeople depending on US when it's THEIR job! The Democrats in the House can and should be blocking EVERYTHING possible (ditto for the Senate). There are ways for them to take action, but depending on their constituents to do their job? GTFOH
I am doing my part. But our elected, paid officials should be doing theirs as well instead of throwing up their hands and saying "oh, well, we can't do anything" and saying that their constituents need to take up the slack. We ALL need to do our part.
I'm not gonna lie... I don't know if I can watch this video, Meidas. Not after Hakeem COMPLAINED about how many calls Democratic leadership has been getting from their constituents. COMPLAINED. I really don't appreciate it and I think Hakeem should step down.
Jefferies is as useless as tits on a boar as they say in the south. He just repeats what we all already know just like the useless schumer. Two weak clowns leading this party and this country to disaster.
Sir; your heart may be in the right place but not everyone is an organizer and some don't even live in a community; people need to work at what they are good at and capable of. There are leaders, there are followers; some are talkers, some are do writers, some read and explain to others who don't read or comprehend, and some need somone to hold their hand and guide them. There is plenty to do, but we need the right people in the right place doing what they do best. Sometimes cracking the whip sends the horses in the other direction,especially when the team is already overwelmed. Right now I'd just like someone to say okay; stop, take a breath, and regroup. What ever we're doing for all our concern and passion doesn't seem to be working. So we need to find something that does and quickly. There are people who are good at that too. Let's get the right people in the right positions to get stuff done.
At long last, someone as you excellently did Kathy McLain explained things to Bill Dean who is really spamming here!! Thank you, Kathy McLain, hopefully Bill Dean will be able to read what you wrote with comprehension!!
The problem is Ben let him get away with Way too much blowing sunshine up my ass. What the whole interview made me feel like was that either Ben was just there for the ratings of interviewing Jeffries or worse yet to make Jeffries "feel" like he is doing something. I know that sometimes it feels like hearding cats but unless you corner and force those cats to get in line it will continue to be discombobulated s*** coming out of the Democratic party. We need a proverbial flute player to get everyone marching to the same beat.
I feel like you're a troll, Bill. Why would you assume I haven't been?? Am I not allowed to voice my opinions here?? And the only conclusion is I'm lazy??? Or are you just commenting this on everyone's comments?? What are you doing, Bill? Are you organizing protests? Or just a troll??
Jeffries, Schumer, and other Democrats must do what Mike Johnson and McConnell have always done - have daily or multiple daily news conferences (in a group not individually) and say exactly what Trump, Musk, and the Republican legislators are doing at that moment and criticize them strongly. When Mike Johnson and the Senate Republicans do that, the stories appear on the evening national news - that is what the public hears and repeats at work. Just do it and let the rest of the legislators go directly to their local news channels with their own news conferences. Be uniform about your talking point across every Democrat daily. That's what Republicans do. They do it consistently each day to focus and amplify their daily message. Don't think about it, do it like our country is disintegrating because it is. Be alarmists.
Exactly, Seeker of Wise Opinions!! I'd say actually - Democrats must do much better and more fanatically than tRumputinists because the truth and facts are on Democrats' side!! When you have truth and facts - you must be unstoppable, unbreakable!!
Jeffries and Schumer ARE PAID HUGE MONIES TO DO THEIR JOB!! WE'RE NOT!! SO, TELL THEM TO DO THEIR JOB, NOT US!! AND SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH YOUR ARROGANCE, ALREADY!!
Thanks, Vel, I didn't want to assume that anyone would purposely direct a foolish remark toward me, so I took it as possibly satirical since I said “Be alarmists.” I can’t see any other reasonable explanation. I don't know the guy from Adam so there is room for multiple interpretations. You are much appreciated.
Re: Bill Dean, I guess he has his heart in correct place, he's just not channeling properly his energy. Spamming with the same or nearly the same and rudely so is hardly a productive way.
the situation is so horrible that no degree of alarmism is too much. I wish I was wrong.
I have little confidence in the current Democratic leadership to blunt the slash and burn tactics of Trump. We keep brining a ren knife to a gunfight with the Trump syncophants. Stop trying to negotiate with power seekers and liars. Fight them every step of the way and take them to court at every wrong turn. Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way!
I am so tired of hearing the same talking heads who deliver zero results. We don't need Jeffries to tell us Trump lies. We know he lies. We need Jeffries to DO something besides run his mouth.
What can he do? Start with some energized rallies. I like Jeffries, but he is too nice for this job right now. "Come together" is not going to cut it right now. I have no desire to come together with people who look the other way while Trump hands over Eastern Europe to Putin.
Make Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett the Minority Leader.
YES! Or AOC!
I used to think I would suffer from brain fog for the rest of my life..."𝐛𝐮𝐭" this changed everything.... https://t.co/PI5R4tvfq0
I love her feistiness. I want my granddaughters to grow up to be like her.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Barbara Jordan will smile so mightily.
Hell yes! She's the real MVP
Write AND CALL your congressional leaders today, now, and demanding they vote NO on this budget.
If it means shutting down the government, do it.
And do not his on a regular basis, flood them with repeated calls and emails. I even contact congressman outside of my state
This used to be a thing when their reelection was on the line because people might not vote for them but in today’s world where Trump makes statements about Musk saying “He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide." - well we can’t even be sure that they care about our votes.
He always tells on himself
SPAM!!!
I downloaded the 5 calls app it gives me the numbers needed, lets me pick what I want to call about, gives me a script. This has been so helpful to me!
I wrote my senator every day for the last couple weeks. Today we hear in a news bulletin that's she's joining Doge to help them root out waste. It's pretty discouraging; so how's everyone else doing with their letter writing/call campaigns.?
Call her and tell her you are not happy about her joining DODGE. The waste is DODGE and Elon's contracts. What about the waste in her Congressional office? Thank you for your work and efforts to contact your representative. Please keep it out and get your friends to help out too.
It has been said in many ways and by people who have worked in a Senator’s or Congressperson’s office that the best way to be a real influence is to call not write. Also, go to town halls. I am calling my Congressman every day I can. I have three numbers to his office to choose from. CALL YOUR SENATORS. Oh, and call your Congressperson.
I called and emailed Rep.Tom Kean, R-NJ. I get either a generic letter that doesn't address my issues or when I call they make excuses why he hasn't arranged a town hall. I also called and emailed Sen.Andy Kim, D-NJ and no response. Frankly, I'm disgusted with our country.
Rest assured she took the payoff. Musk is an endless pit of wealth. He is trying to buy and rule the world!
I am happy to say I live in New York. Senator Schumer tries but he just reads speeches. He needs to have some sort of feeling. Senator Gillibrand does help people but she needs to be more vocal on her stand against Trump. Governor Hochul just laid into Trump about being King. She has finally gotten fierce.
My senator,T Tillis co-sponserd the SAVE ACT,yet I write him everyday requesting he stand up to trump's hateful agenda.It doesn't help but he is getting the msg he is losing support for his run in 2026.
I called my senator and have heard ZERO back from him!!
Our own senators are abandoning us..
Both of my senators are republicans and one is so entrenched in MAGA it makes me sick. That doesn't stop me. I email, it's easier for me.
Please keep it up. I live in a very Dem leaning city and state. I attended a Town hall with our US Representative Pramila Jayapal.
She clearly asked us to contact friends who have GOP reps and keep the calls constant. And to find ways to tell the TRUTH. Misinformation continues. Thank you for activism.
I love Pramila! I'm in Adam Smith's district and will be attending a Town hall soon.
Funny story... I saw her in a Burien Italian restaurant were she was seated next to my table. I got star struck! Never thought it could happen to me. :)
Wish she were my Rep.
Still call them. Emails are easier to dismiss. I am going to start calling every day and I think I will include Mike Johnson - dirtbag, Jamie Raskin - my hero and Jasmine Crocket - my hero as well.
same here in Florida, dyed red and I do not want to hear from them
Gee, that's too bad. I got an email today about my SS concerns and our nation.
Yes, if you are lucky enough to get a response. Most of the GOP lawmakers are hiding.
I threatened mine with protests when he comes back and that I would be front and center. There are a bunch of us that will show up and we are pissed.
Keep calling, keep writing, and keep working at the community and city level. BUT, we need our congressional leaders, and especially our selfish, silent Republican senators to stand up with us and use their power to speak out and act on defeating Trump’s Project 2025 agenda. We need the Democratic Party to identify a charismatic, strong leader NOW✌️. That’s what I call standing together to keep our country from being sold to Putin. Democracy Strong!
Unfortunately, my congressman is MAGA.

are "Arabs and Muslims for Trump" happy now? just asking........
I have no idea why do you ask?
'cause it's a part of the problem the host of the link you're spamming with should know.....
Stand up and scream and be visible. Go by the 10's of thousands and surround Trump at his golf course, the puppets he put into congress and the house and the DOJ and the Supreme Court. We outnumber them by millions and millions!

There won't be a y elections.They also passed a bill that you need a birth certificate and a passport to vote. Married women's names won't match on both documents. So they won't be allowed to vote. The only thing I can think of is women go to their maiden name
They have also tried to pause passport renewals to prevent woman from obtaining the necessary proof that they now require for woman to vote
This country cannot last for another 2years.
My sentiments exactly.
this horror can't be tolerated for another two hours let alone two years!!
AMEN

Find some balls Jeffries
Correct me if I am wrong but Democratic congress people have been protesting out in front of the departments that are getting cut.
They are the minority they do not have enough votes to change legislation, I see them protesting ont he floor of congress and also out in the streets.
They are all having Town Hall Meetings in their districts.
I think they are making the best of a bad situation.
Jefferies is the poster child for corruption he’s number two for receiving AIPAC funds
You call that corruption? Receiving money from AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee)? And of course you have proof of this? The most corrupt politician in America is Donald Trump. No one comes close to him.
I guess from your note you don’t call that corruption,..
How did that get normalized in your mind?
The second highest receiver of AIPAC in Congress, I guess I should be impressed, huh?
As I asked above, where is your proof? Also, may I add, what were any funds received used for? If they were campaign contributions, that is perfectly legal. AIPAC is US based. Any other uses, you will have to document.

Actually Mary it’s really up to us, those (we) who elect these people to assist in this halt to the overturning of democracy. There are three special elections THIS YEAR. Two in FL and one in upstate NY. Politicians on the hill have only so much they can do without US electing people who can support their agenda. How about the people get going and help get these people elected to stop the bleeding. It’s what WE can do.
I agree, however I’m very concerned about safe elections.
Me too, because we saw in 2024 that Dumpy got in illegally!!!!
I suspected the electoral Votes were manipulated. Free research shows many ballots were manipulated. There needs to be a recount asap. Some ballots show a resident voted Democrat down ballot but voted for 45/47. That does Not make sense. 5,000 of these were found in one precinct.
Been saying that since november 6th 2024 on.....
Solution: Return to paper ballots, that way there's no chance of Musk tampering with the votes.
Two of the upcoming special elections are in Florida. I don’t trust desantis as far as I can throw him.
Having been a precinct judge in Texas for several years, I can tell you that paper ballots are definitely corruptible. Sad to say.
Then how do we foolproof our voting machines from the Musks ?
Thank you for your question. It's a good one. All means of voting are vulnerable. There are investigations starting about how Trump was able to win, and it appears that there was fraud. We will have to wait to see how it was done, but I think that it was done electronically. It only takes milliseconds to intercept a transmission and alter it. Elon Musk is capable of doing that.
I am concerned about the paper ballot, because trump was pushing so hard for their return during the election..I don't know how it would be beneficial to him. Any input would be greatly appreciated
Pushing for paper ballots was nothing more than a ploy. Yet another to give the appearance of arms length. Nothing more than a distraction there.
I kept wondering what his advantage would be
The democrats have to start fighting the laws which are obviously unconstitutional and racially bias. Maybe they are, I don’t know. I haven’t seen it. Jim Crow laws are still in effect and the republicans are using additional racially bias laws to keep PoC from voting fairly.
This! People are not talking enough about the special elections that could flip the house!
Sadly there is little confidence that it would be fair and not manipulated
I will have to check out the election in upstate NY because I will definitely try to help.
I'm going to ask my friend if she is in that district.
How is the DNC supporting the Dems in those 3 elections? Have they given up in advance? At the very least, the DNC could partner with the 3 candidates to test out approaches & messaging ahead of the midterms.
I get to vote for one of the good ones in Florida.
How many votes over do we need? Because even as voter suppression stands today, in 2 years will be worse. Also, whatever happens with the SAVE act and the USPS. Do we really think that there will be another honest election?

Exactly!
Exactly what is he supposed to do?
Stand at the podium on the house floor and scream at the top of his lungs just what the nazi's are doing. At least that is something. Telling us what we all know is useless.
Be like Jasmine Crockett and Jamie Raskin, that's what. They are my heroes.
They should be the leaders of the country! Trump's Gestapo is just as dangerous.
And AOC
I agree. So tired of this useless talk. why are they not in session AGAIN until next week? plus it’s not 2017! what they’ve done in less then 30 days to destabilize this country can’t compare imo.
We all need to scream and be visible. Surround them! We are millions and millions stronger than they are.
He needs help from people, the ones to lazy to vote, the ones who tell themselves it won't affect them and the ones who don't watch anything but right wing propaganda.
That's nice, but the Republicans own the entire govt. The House, the Senate, and Musk as Prez with Trump as his lapdog. This is by far the sickest govt I have witnessed.
Way too much repetition. WEare not stupid!!!
The ELEPHANT in the room is the allowing of Corporate-bought politicians on both sides. It’s the only thing I can think of that would keep congress from shouting to the rooftops.
Since the very day when the cynically named "citizen's united" was enacted by the fascist roberts's court back in 2010 i.e. 15 years ago, I've been daily, I repeat, daily signing and sending hundreds of petitions against it!! Now it's 2025 and still doing it - could you possibly then count how many millions (or, is it billions) of anti-so-called "citizens united" petitions I've signed and sent..........
Resign his position input Crockett or AOC in place!
Or Garcia.
NO !
Why, what exactly do you think anyone else could do more than Jeffries. His demeanor has leadership qualities whereas Crockett is too abrasive and can turn people off. AOC possibly in the near future.
I don't think Jeffries can do anything else. He's a good leader I am not questioning that and neither should anyone else. He is just not a good leader for this moment in history. Here are my thoughts... Getting the party organized and everyone on the same page with the same talking points beating it into the public is like herding cats. You could have a great toy sitting in the middle of the room full of cats. Sure you'll get a couple of cats playing with it but most will sit there bored because the toy doesn't fight back. Now as a leader we need a flute player of sorts. One that can distract and lead the rats out of the room and give a few key people laser pointers to get all the cats in the room totally involved. (Ie.. The laser beams are a few specific focused agenda items to non-stop hammer home.)
Example... A leader would tell AOC focus on X, Crockett focus on Y, Garcia you focus on z. And beat the living hell out of the media screaming it to the heavens for every person to see and completely taking over media. Those are the laser beam holders.
In the process of doing this the geriatrics that are out of touch with 'We the People' must be made to resign! By the time a special election is called momentum will completely be in our favor. We have a very deep bench and these geriatrics are just as corrupt and responsible for all this as the Republicans.
I for one will support any primary Challenger with all I have to any geriatric or wanna be good o'l boy that goes along with anything the Republicans put on the table. That especially includes Mark Kelly whom I donated hundreds to and gallego. They voted for Trump's appointees almost more than anyone else.
To the geriatrics and you know who you are...
I know you may think you can still help. Ginsburg thought the same thing. I have ENORMOUS respect for her but she really effed up by not bowing out earlier to ensure a liberal justice. Geriatrics you are doing the same thing! You will kill us all! Bow out now!
Do the right thing and relinquish. Go home knowing you did your best.
Agree! So tired of hearing the same bs about contacting
Congress. WTH is Congress doing? Talk is cheap!
I do like Jeffries, BUT, What's the game plan?
There is nothing anyone can do to stop Trump from lying. It works for him and he's going to keep doing it as long as there are people dumb enough to believe it. As George Carlin once said- "Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups". Trump's lies got him back in.
I joined Bernies group tonight to start work
https://youtu.be/WXSswzIMydw?si=RRKiw7baGF4x6Yyb
I truly think Jeffries is a good guy but he just doesn't have enough fire. You see someone like Crockett or AOC and you feel bolstered. I know Dems are in the minority but we are literally giving away our freedoms. We are betraying our allies. The time of politeness has passed. We need drastic measures or it will be too late. I never thought a government falling to autocracy would be so...quiet.
Agree,Beth.I too feel bolstered with Jasmine Crockett and AOC.Also Maxwell Frost.I watched Scott Dworkin podcast with Beto today and he was on 🔥🔥🔥. Yes, no time to be….quiet!!
Frost is terrific.
I know they are overwhelmed by the speed of all the executive orders and filing lawsuits is the right thing to do but the Dems
should be calling press conferences and showing some
outrage. Bernie Sanders is trying very hard
Bernie is going to tour the country trying to stop this insanity.
Love Bernie!
Bernie Sanders should have been the candidate facing Trump in his first election!!
Bernie would have won..no doubt in BOTH elections
Yes, Bernie, like as timex, keeps on ticking (off the Repug's).
Bernie is amazing. But he can't hold the line forever.
On youtube I was comparing Dick Durbin's and Bernie Sanders's addresses re: tRumputin's terror over Ukraine - Bernie Sanders was so excellent to listen to, energetic, clearly and loudly (though, I'd prefer louder too) spoken - while Durbin like on life support barely audible almost mumbling.
Sigh, eh, dear Bernie Sanders if only USA was smart enough to ever elect you.....
then get your a** out of bed and organize and protest in your community
Stop pretending we aren’t! Some of us are protesting and organizing, but when Jeffries complies in advance, we lose any power we feel we gain. We need them with us! AOC and Crockett can’t do it alone. We need all of them to show tf up!
thanks for your comment....Dems set up an office of communication to respond on a daily basis about the Republican ongoings
🤣🤣🤣🤣 first I ever hear of it. That goes to show you how good they are at marketing! What the hell are they going to do sitting in an office. The Free press is already doing that a hell of a lot better than the Dems are 🤬
Indeed - if Democrats need to get their ideas from regular people so to have an idea of what to do, then Democrats might as well abolish the party itself i.e. themselves..... extremely sad.....
Bill, we do. We also think too. Repeating your same words during these comments only dilutes your POV. Maybe at least change them up?
Also I am happy to type ass too!
Now you're talking! I feel the country rising to the level of Jan 6th. That's what they want us to do so we look like every name they call us. Discredit us to the world. Peaceful protests.
tsk, tsk.... if you let those dreads internalized, you'll never accomplish anything. first off, you're starting off with the false equivalences quasi-"premises" - please, don't do that, you need to liberate your frame of mind!! namely, jan 6th 2021 insurrectionist terrorism was perpetrated by tRumputinists!! so, why do you in your conscious (or, was it subconscious) level relate in any way to that??????????? as to them (or anyone malevolent) they call you much worse than even insurrectionist - anyways-already-no matter what. You can't allow your life, rights and interests be defined, controlled, not to mention, fenced in by the malevolent ones!! Btw. always keep in mind that Washington DC is the most Democratic-voting Territory in America!! That means - it's tRumputinist repukkke magats who should NOT have any business even being in Washington DC!!
Democrats, I keep telling you - assert your control and stand your ground!!
Projection.
Yep and that needs to be thrown back at and discarded routinely from the get go, instead of internalizing it in a stockholm-syndrome-like masochistic illness!!
Democrats must have a fighting, unabashed, unapologetic, empowering mindset if Democrats even think of accomplishing anything, NOT a scaredy, dreading, timid mindset!! Truth and facts are on Democrats' side - it's your best weapon, for Chrissakes, and grow a pair and stand your ground!!
I think leader Jeffries is a good guy. BUT you can't "bring a knife to a gunfight".
That BUT part IS the part that matters the most!! If you can't or don't know how to be self-defensive and more dominant, then, let somebody else who can and knows - and if in Democratic Party of USA there are no self-defensive nor more dominant folks, then, hate to tell you the extremely ugly reality that is, but you might as well quit existing..... The worst of Darwin-ist survival of the fittest is imposed, let it sink to you, it is imposed - so learn to swim and win, folks!!
And, no, I don't enjoy having to teach the others who cherish the truth and facts - the sacred importance of self-defense - if that person doesn't have it in himself/herself, it becomes too excruciating efffin' frustrating to me. Democrats AS SOCIAL AND POLITICAL SERVANTS MUST BE EFFICIENTLY SELF-DEFENSIVE AND DOMINANT WITH ALL AND EVERY MEANS - WITHOUT ANYONE EVEN HAVING TO TELL THEM!!
Are we supposed to be cheering on Jeffries? Because his responses to tyranny up to this point have been pathetic.
I’m sorry, but it sounds like the same old weak conversation that Jefferies has been having since this all started. He needs to step aside and get someone else in the leadership.
This guy is milk toast. Couldn't agree with you more. He is not a fighter. I'd rather have Pelosi even at her age rather than Jefferies. She could get something done or at least draw attention to it.
The democrats should be on the house floor decrying the nazi's and what they are doing. Jefferies is useless.
I agree!
Jamie Raskin. AOC. That sounds good to me.
Jasmine Crockett.
Jasmine is a force. Women!!
Again, we’re responding to what the GOP says and does. Dems MUST get control of the message!
Exactly!!!! the Democrat messaging is WEAK!!!!!!!, call the Republicans out, Be forceful when speaking.
I am certainly down with Jamie Raskin. He is a constitutionalist so I DARE them to go up against him in any debate ever!
I like him but he also needs to toughen up!!
Actions speak louder now. And you can’t stay in the “norms”. They have to increase the drama and conflict levels. Create suspense and have a villain.
That's what I say! Never mind "norms" let's get nasty!
Too passive. Can not be business as usual. Get creative
Been saying that for decades to Democrats!!
My thought exactly!
then get your a** out of bed and organize and protest in your community
I’m getting involved with my local party precinct. What are you doing?
I down loaded the APP Your Impact on my phone. Trumps current concerns r listed. You put in ur zip code to know who to contact in Washington. Scrips and all about the issues r explained too. There’s more. So this app is great and people answer in DC.
To go bangs😂
Nevermind this comment😎
I am! I am a retired school teacher who works everyday with my undocumented neighbors. I post on my Facebook and those people who do not agree are reading and responding. That is what we need. But it takes work. No one else is going to do it for you.
He needs to adjust his strategy. NO deals with republicans. THEY need to demonstrate a love for democracy. They’ve given up to the heritage foundations and tech bros’ dictatorship plan.
Absolutely. NO deals. Be an opposition party!
Jeffries keeps talking about out what he will do in the future. Republicans are destroying things NOW.
Once again Trump accuses others of what he is doing. Dictator….
Jeffries is calling out Trump's lies. Republicans are a bunch of weak white men who are destroying the country. Democrats need to elevate more women and people of color to lead us to a progressive future: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/women-will-save-our-democracy
Here Here!!!
Yes AND also the Democracy-loyal white men who are intelligent enough to cherish the diversity, civil and human rights. Those white men who are everything opposite from the racists and male-chauvinists!! Those white men who validate their masculinity in being fully comfortable and confident in/with the diversity, equality and inclusion!! Those white men who are gentlemen in real sense of the word!!
We need a lot more from our Dem leaders. Response so far has been far too weak.
Everyone is waiting for leadership to stand up! But only a few have, where is everyone?? Stop running around in circles trying to catch up to 47! Get organized!
then get your a** out of bed and organize and protest in your community
I already do! What about you, Bill?? We need more from our leaders!
Already engaged with Indivisible locally and have done 2 active protests Kathleen Sometimes I fear some really negative talk on threads are from Russian/MAGA plants Yea yea I know conspiracy but in this day and age anything is possible with these guys penetrating MTN Agree that we need more leaders to begin mobilizing people Congressional Democratic elected officials need to engage On a call with Senator Cantwell's staff today....we need to hear from her Bernie Sanders is showing by example
I understand. We are in very frightening times.
There are three open House seats. April 1st is a special election in Florida and New York. Please spread the word.
Yes please follow this PAC that is helping both campaigns
https://www.nationalgroundgame.com/ if you are in Florida and can go out and get people registered by March 1st or donate!
Please share to everyone! There are a lot of federal and veterans in these districts!
Sharing!
These are not winnable seats. We need to use our energy on things that can make a difference!
Absolutely Cindie. Most all efforts need to be be put into the WI Supreme Court race with such a resounding victory that from Madison to Juneau to Honolulu to Tallahassee folks bend the knee (so to speak).
If it is determined that a small amount of resources can be allocated to Florida, then great.
I will add that Robert Hubbell overnight has offered up Florida as an opportunity. And to embrace the Florida Dems. My perspective has evolved. And that is a good thing.
Jasmine Crockett would say differently. We have to try for them.
It’s attitude’s like this that doesn’t help our cause!! We need to unify the more seats we have the better! That’s how Republicans are confirming the 🤡 cabinet!! They are shutting down the committee who wants to take down Elon Musk!! Screaming NO! isn’t going to help!! Do your research!!
Well we have an independent group there and have for weeks! You can’t just say not winnable! At some point they can flip! We are in different times!
I'd like to see Jeffries, AOC, Crockett go to FL 01 and FL 06. Hold rallies there. Raise money and flip those seats. Also go to NY 21 and win that seat.
I would defintely go to the FL ralies. tho my NE area is not in either district.
then get your a** out of bed and organize and protest in your community
Rep Jefferies, I have contacted your office in Washington asking where the devil are the protections for my data! Why wasn’t the National Guard put at federal buildings to stop trump’s thug from entering? He doesn’t have the power yet there he went. I call attention to the Tenth Amendment and the legality of stopping Federal usurpation. Our soldiers give an oath, as you in the House & Senate, to protect the Constitution. Why aren’t you? What can musk do with our information? Erase it? Sell it? Blackmail us? Thanks for protecting us, says NO ONE.
I’m not sure, but since DC is not a state, do they have a unit of National Guard? Also, it is WE THE PEOPLE who have the power by the constitution. Why is no one out there like they were in South Korea when their president declared martial law? Their people took to the streets by the millions in protest and stopped him. Then they impeached him. If we want our politicians to take brave action WE THE PEOPLE have to respond so they know if they don’t do what it takes to impeach him WE THE PEOPLE will take control and they will all be out of a job.
Yes, both of you Deborah Darling and Mary Hro are reasoning well and solution-oriented which is what is needed now the most!!
I've been saying since nov 6th 2024 on -
1. do NOT let tRumputin-eVIlonmusk-their cabal into Washington D.C. !!
2. all NONtRumputinist and ANTItRumputinist Americans must be concrete-strong united in hugest numbers ever so to fight and defeat the tRumputin-eVIlonmusk-reign of terror!!
When are some of these self-professed macho men, in the GOP and MAGA, going to stand up to Trump, FOR OUR COUNTRY, DEMOCRACY, CONSTITUTION, RULE OF LAW?! So far they have proven to be lying spineless traitors, who continue to kiss Trump's ass for a buck, and Iawless, unlimited power! How do they even look their children, families, and constituents in the eye, while betraying them all every day. All will be recorded in history, as a complete corrupt disgrace, traitors to the United States of America, who chose to turn their backs on the USA, betray us, and team with communist, murderous Russia, and has stomped all over our Constitution and laws.
TRUMP + GOP + MAGA = TRAITORS
My friend, according to their crazy heads, "being macho" is being slave to tRumputin-their ideology-and-practices. that's what greedy odious perverts i.e. gop are all about.
and magats are maggots, twerps, pestilence.
If hopes are rested on them, then it's hopeless.
I heard Jeffries said, "there's nothing we can do", referring to democrat resistance to MAGA. I submit, half the problem is democrats, like Jeffries, or Schumer, throwing their hands up and rolling over. I'm sick of it. We need some real junk yard dogs...Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders, Jasmin Crockett, Adam Schiff....c'mon...fight back! Take a lesson from the GOP during Obama's tenure.
We need a powerhouse team that works together to execute a powerful counter-attack plan. The best minds for strategy and the best people executing. Money can be raised for that type of effort, but we need to feel that we are in the right leadership hands.
Jeffries has said that???? then, f..k him!
Yes - AOC, Bernie Sanders, Jasmine Crockett, Adam Schiff, Chris Murphy etc...!!
then get your a** out of bed and organize and protest in your community
Ummmm. Why are congresspeople depending on US when it's THEIR job! The Democrats in the House can and should be blocking EVERYTHING possible (ditto for the Senate). There are ways for them to take action, but depending on their constituents to do their job? GTFOH
I call Bullsh*t get your a** out of bed and organize and protest in your community
I am doing my part. But our elected, paid officials should be doing theirs as well instead of throwing up their hands and saying "oh, well, we can't do anything" and saying that their constituents need to take up the slack. We ALL need to do our part.
Of course, Amazon Anne!!
I'm not gonna lie... I don't know if I can watch this video, Meidas. Not after Hakeem COMPLAINED about how many calls Democratic leadership has been getting from their constituents. COMPLAINED. I really don't appreciate it and I think Hakeem should step down.
Jefferies is as useless as tits on a boar as they say in the south. He just repeats what we all already know just like the useless schumer. Two weak clowns leading this party and this country to disaster.
And his language won't reach every day people. In this interview…he talked like a rich politician imo.
And hated his trying to compare this time to Affordable Care Act situation in 2017. Completely different.
then get your a** out of bed and organize and protest in your community
Sir; your heart may be in the right place but not everyone is an organizer and some don't even live in a community; people need to work at what they are good at and capable of. There are leaders, there are followers; some are talkers, some are do writers, some read and explain to others who don't read or comprehend, and some need somone to hold their hand and guide them. There is plenty to do, but we need the right people in the right place doing what they do best. Sometimes cracking the whip sends the horses in the other direction,especially when the team is already overwelmed. Right now I'd just like someone to say okay; stop, take a breath, and regroup. What ever we're doing for all our concern and passion doesn't seem to be working. So we need to find something that does and quickly. There are people who are good at that too. Let's get the right people in the right positions to get stuff done.
At long last, someone as you excellently did Kathy McLain explained things to Bill Dean who is really spamming here!! Thank you, Kathy McLain, hopefully Bill Dean will be able to read what you wrote with comprehension!!
Meg, I was leary too but Ben asked the right questions. I felt the answers were weak but I feel Ben did his part. I think worth your time.
The problem is Ben let him get away with Way too much blowing sunshine up my ass. What the whole interview made me feel like was that either Ben was just there for the ratings of interviewing Jeffries or worse yet to make Jeffries "feel" like he is doing something. I know that sometimes it feels like hearding cats but unless you corner and force those cats to get in line it will continue to be discombobulated s*** coming out of the Democratic party. We need a proverbial flute player to get everyone marching to the same beat.
I know, complained, wtf. Get him the effingheimer out of there!
then get your a** out of bed and organize and protest in your community
I feel like you're a troll, Bill. Why would you assume I haven't been?? Am I not allowed to voice my opinions here?? And the only conclusion is I'm lazy??? Or are you just commenting this on everyone's comments?? What are you doing, Bill? Are you organizing protests? Or just a troll??
Perhaps Mr. Bill is having a really bad day. 💚
He gave an explanation above re his activities. And changed his response one time. Or I should say added a few words.
Yes, I heard the interview and submitted my reaction. 💚❤️
I am *supremely* unimpressed with that young man. 💁🏾♀️
In the previous comment I addressed his zealous as well. I'm so glad I'm not the only one annoyed who can't keep quiet, lol.
Jeffries, Schumer, and other Democrats must do what Mike Johnson and McConnell have always done - have daily or multiple daily news conferences (in a group not individually) and say exactly what Trump, Musk, and the Republican legislators are doing at that moment and criticize them strongly. When Mike Johnson and the Senate Republicans do that, the stories appear on the evening national news - that is what the public hears and repeats at work. Just do it and let the rest of the legislators go directly to their local news channels with their own news conferences. Be uniform about your talking point across every Democrat daily. That's what Republicans do. They do it consistently each day to focus and amplify their daily message. Don't think about it, do it like our country is disintegrating because it is. Be alarmists.
I couldn't agree more Vel.
Exactly, Seeker of Wise Opinions!! I'd say actually - Democrats must do much better and more fanatically than tRumputinists because the truth and facts are on Democrats' side!! When you have truth and facts - you must be unstoppable, unbreakable!!
The FOX effect
We could use a FOX-like cable network.

Kick a** and hold no prisioners
Jeffries and Schumer ARE PAID HUGE MONIES TO DO THEIR JOB!! WE'RE NOT!! SO, TELL THEM TO DO THEIR JOB, NOT US!! AND SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH YOUR ARROGANCE, ALREADY!!
Thanks, Vel, I didn't want to assume that anyone would purposely direct a foolish remark toward me, so I took it as possibly satirical since I said “Be alarmists.” I can’t see any other reasonable explanation. I don't know the guy from Adam so there is room for multiple interpretations. You are much appreciated.
Re: Bill Dean, I guess he has his heart in correct place, he's just not channeling properly his energy. Spamming with the same or nearly the same and rudely so is hardly a productive way.
the situation is so horrible that no degree of alarmism is too much. I wish I was wrong.
I have little confidence in the current Democratic leadership to blunt the slash and burn tactics of Trump. We keep brining a ren knife to a gunfight with the Trump syncophants. Stop trying to negotiate with power seekers and liars. Fight them every step of the way and take them to court at every wrong turn. Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way!
Take him to court even if it's not a wrong turn. Gum them up so bad they can't move
Exactly!! Precisely!!
