How about we start with getting these Dems that have forgotten what their job is, to STOP VOTING FOR THESE GOP HEINOUS BILLS!! There were Dems that voted for the CR including Schumer who declared he would never vote for it. Then he blinked and like 11+ Dem Senators voted for it. Masto and Rosen of Nevada plus Booker and others just voted for the bullshit Crypto bill. I am sick and tired of having to call these people to get them to do their fucking job every time a GOP backed bill comes up for a vote!!

I think that the Democratic party must stop allowing the Republican party to frame the issues. Obviously the mainstream media from CNN to OANN carry the water for Republicans and it will be very difficult for Democratic politicians control the narrative. But as long as Republicans (pronouns: liars, thieves) can distract the US electorate by dragging out a flashy issue while the Democratic party flails wildly, it is going to be very difficult for Democratic politicians to win voters who are not really paying attention and do not understand most issues.

Pass legislation to clarify that corporations are not 'persons', then pass legislation limiting how many 'housing units an actual person ( not ficticious Corporate person) can own will be a major move to reduce the cost of housing. If possible rein in the insurance industry and limit their profits, no accounting tricks. Just a good start, let's go!

I agree on most of what you're saying, my problem is that nobody is talking about the fact that donny daRump is a psychotic felon who suffers from worsening frontotemporal dementia, and he's got the nuclear codes. Urge your followers to tune into the "Shrinking Trump" podcast on Youtube. Drs.John Gartner, and Harry Segal, renowned clinical psychologists, tell it like it is, and he's kookoo and scary.

I do think Trump is losing his mind with every passing day

Every time the cadet bone spurs in chief opens his mouth to tell another lie or attacks a judge or a judicial ruling the dems must respond. The messaging by the dems sucks. The fire hose of bullshit spewing out of the Oval Office must be countered by the truth delivered by those with integrity and the balls to stand up to the assault.

The administration is controlling the dialog and the public discourse. This has to stop. Every time the felon in the Oval Office pardons another criminal the uproar should be deafening. We must protect and support the judiciary. If our reps in Congress and the senate can’t do their jobs they must be removed from office.

I agree but the mainstream media doesn’t talk about any of it. The media and news providers are mostly owned by corporations.

The Demos need to setoff the oppositional points. Im a Libera democrat, and I hunt and don't want anyone messing Wirth my gun rigfhtsw. But I LOVE the bill of rights as a hedge against tyranny.

trumps base just hates LIBERALS and they will for give 47 anything as long as he hates us too. We have to show that Liberals have balls and will defend our rights.....and theirs too.

I disagree. Part of what the GOP has done and especially Trump is to portray themselves as "plain talking folks" who "just tell it like it is". I understand your point, but we Democrats can come across as soft talking wimps who back down in the face of loud, trash talking clowns. Many people won't consider us to be strong-willed people who are fighting for what's right and fighting on their behalf unless we use harsh, blunt, and sometime profane language ourselves.
