Totally agree with Joe Walsh about the democratic leadership. I have called Schumer and Jeffries' offices saying that they need to get out on the steps of the Capitol every single day (just like Mitch McConnell did when Obama was president) and PUBLICLY call out the repubs! I have left many messages for them but they fall on deaf ears. Maybe you can prod them to do this.

There is no way Patel should be the head of the FBI.

Of course not. Not one person I. His cabinet is competent. But he only cares abt loyalty- nothing else.

Biden was old? How old is Trump? At least Biden gave a shit about the American People.

I'm in my 60's and I treasure our Democracy. What I don't treasure is Trump.

Rachel Maddows’ Book, ‘Prequel’ beautifully gives historical context to the virulent strain of Fascism in America. Slavery is another example of the strain of hate that has been a part of American character for a long time. Must be faced.

Trump is an evil, misogynistic rapist pig. Not to mention that Trump is obviously demented. How can no one see that?!

Agreed. But the regime is rotten to the core. The Illegitimate adjudicated insurrectionist and his regime succeeded in usurping the head of our government.

Exactly.

I wrote the following

I just watched the beginning. I think it was appalling. I know your logic seems accurate about the moderate and progressives Dems but it is not. Sometimes a candidate is unacceptable not because of a purported political party but because of ideology and / or feigning or other disqualifying character issues. Biden is a good man, of course they should have voted for him and other examples. So you are putting forth false logic, false equivalencies, and trying to force people to go against their conscience and judgment, This is what the authoritarian wing of the republicans did and do. No one is below the bar if they claim to be a Republican. I recommend reading Walden’s feed for the things Mamdani has said and done. Also when he smiles and acts like he is a champion for the people of against the orange beast he is feigning.. So you are using a false argument to compel people to go against their conscience and judgment like the unjust republicans — how super gross. Also Hakeem is a class act. Not everything has to cater to low attention and fast memes. There is a place for both. We don’t have to dumb down everything, There is still a place for statesmanship. Thank you Hakeem for who you are, all you do and how you do it. I do not agree with Hochul’s endorsement at all. I laud the chairman for not endorsing him— his conscience will be clean in the future. I knew Fetterman was going to be a problem before the election. I was devastated that they did not vote for Connor Lamb a true hero and a man with impeccable integrity / moral compass. I had hoped I was wrong about the other one and I was with him during his illness. But now his true colors are more showing and it is exactly what I sensed at the beginning. Also, I agree with leadership not opening things to Walsh. He says a lot of good / spot on things but in it he mixes dangerous things. Regarding Mamdani just because the extreme right say things that seems like they do not like him does not mean that they would not feign to dislike him to make him more popular. There are propagandists and wolves in both sides and they can elevate a false leader by persecuting a bad one. Beware the wolf in sheep’s clothing. Mr. Nellis this would be a time to stand up to your party but it looks like instead you are more interested in compelling people against their good judgment towards party / mob think. Gross. Further, if I were voting in that an election, I would vote for Walden. He is exactly what you guys claim you want. He is an independent, not taking pac money, he is honest, and super intelligent.

Thanks for reading my comment. Because you liked it, I reread it and of course found several typos/ errors. I edited it if you would like to read it again. Sincerely Gwen

Maybe we should create a streaming network or a utube channel for late night shows. Take Colbert, Kimmel, Meyers, and Fallon shows and run them on their channel. What Democrats need to do now is talking about how they plan on rebuilding the government to work for the people. The way our founding fathers originated this republic to be.

We MUST keep fighting to expose the Epstein files that may be the only thing that will bring him down finally. If they haven’t written the whole thing, leaving out his name already.

I totally agree with Mike Nellis that the messages from dems need to be succinct and to the point and said REPEATEDLY. Biden made the mistake of lauding an achievement just one time. Now that dems are out of power, they need to call out the repubs every single day and the same succinct messages every single day. They need to do this PUBLICLY and not just on the floor of the House or Senate. And yes, we need to get money out of politics and overturn Citizens United.
