I want whoever is going to be the front runner for democrats in 2028 to get on social media in real time every day and talk to people. Go to where people are and be real. Also the democrats need to do a daily press brief. They need to take the oxygen out of Trump and explain to everyone what is going on every day. They cannot allow Trump to define what’s going on. We need a counter narrative

Exactly. And we need to keep repeating that counter-narrative. The far-right have made such advances because they have been flooding the zone with propaganda.

Yes yes yes!! Where is the DNC? Where is our candidate? DNC are you reading and listening?? We are ready and we want a candidate NOW!

I want the Dems to refute without saying so the lies. During the campaign, the only thing I thought wrong was that the TRUTH and reality of immigrants' stories weren't told - how and what they do whether here under DACA, TPS, or here because they wanted a better life but our system is so bad that applying for citizenship - with a test I am confident none of the new Cabinet confirmed or yet to be could pass - is impossible. The taxes paid without benefits for those here without documents saying they may be; the businesses they started in small towns that, with their work in packing plants, planting and picking crops, caring for children and elderly people, have revived communities. ALL MAGAts hear is that they are criminals. Even someone I know (and ended a friendship with because the lies were repeated) repeated the lies knowing from experience far more. Immigrants serve with honor in our military. Those stories weren't told.

I would like the democrats to grow a pair and fight for our country. Hopefully in 2 years we will take back the house and senate and in 4 have a candidate that will win the presidency and get our country back to what it means to be an American. Accepting of others, you work hard and the “American dream”can be achieved. I miss Obama and wonder what our country would have been like if HRC won in 2016. I do think that election was rigged against her.

I'm sorry, but why have any hope of winning anything in an election, going forward!? They are implementing many things the many ideologues of their ilk have been planning for years, even decades. There already has been voter suppression, stealing mail-in votes and tech/mech cheating. It's only going to get worse, starting...now. Short of cloning Mark Elias, what is everyone going to do?

I would like to see the Democrats be more vocal in their outrage, in calling out the lies & bs of the Cheeto in chief & his so-called administration; I would like to see the Dems follow the messaging lead of AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost, Jared Moskowitz, Elizabeth Warren. The Dems need to simplify their language & learn to concisely get their message across—as Barney & many children’s shows have taught us—repetition is the key to getting your message across.

I think comments like these to those of us who are obviously ALREADY actively involved in fighting the propaganda and lies is preaching to the choir.

I can be a little slow at picking up subtle clues but the head jerking shift of his briefing statements hit me like a brick. First two minutes were quiet, gentle, articulate, respectful and I knew deep down this was written by a staff member. Ending with "they were taken into the warm arms of a loving God"... and then WHIPLASH!! The blaming, self-grandiose smarter than everyone else claims, swearing, demeaning rudeness to sensible questions from journalists, accusations, pseudo aeronautical engineering expertise, and just plain moronic rambling hurled me back to the reality nightmare of what a complete loser and psychopath sits in the Oval office. I did not think he could sink lower or disgust me more .... but he did.

You know Trump was choking on those appropriate sentiments. He couldn't wait to get them over and done with. When his voice gets soft, you know he doesn't believe the nice stuff he's saying.

I want to see the Democrats grow an effing spine and start punching back. I don't want to see blathering about bipartisanship. The Republicans don't give a flying f*ck about bipartisanship and never will until they lose everything completely.

So, for the next election, I want that to happen for them. I want lazy, bored Americans to wake the f*ck up and see that elections have consequences.

I won't be holding my breath.

I want our journalists to start asking tougher questions and keep asking them until these horrible people visibly squirm. When pressed yesterday about trump's DEI comment as a reason for the horrific plane crash, I wish he would have said, "So you're saying the crash happened because a person of color or a woman had involvement?" CALL. HIM. OUT! Make him say it in front of the world (as if he hasn't already proven how he is) as often as we can get him to. More sound bites! Also, ALL dems need to get on board with the messaging of AOC, Chris Murphy, and Brian Schatz! Time to get raging mad and vocal about it. Do NOT let up!

So true about the journalists/media! I always expect them to counter his ignorant, petty, partisan accusations & comments with something informative…in vain. They need to smarten up and be ready for his redundantly self-serving gaslighting.

I would like to see everybody (250,000,000 people) actually VOTE.

We American citizens share this blue green planet with SEVEN BILLION other human beings.

Most of those people would love to have an opportunity to vote in an real election.

We take our birthright for granted. We haven't got a shadow of a clue how quickly a democratic republic can turn into a fascist dictatorship. We are finding out RIGHT NOW.

I want to see the democrats get off their asses and fight back. Stop trying to play by the rules these people are dangerous to all of us and we need people willing to fight with us for us. If they can't join our young Democrats like AOC, Jasmine Crockett and many others than get the hell out of the way and we will find someone who will.

One of these days (No, I'm not holding my breath), Dems will leave behind their world of Pretty Rainbows, Dancing Unicorns and "They go low, we go high." History has shown you can't sit idly by and let it "work itself out." Fighting Fascism, blunting Racism will be bloody to Ensure Democracy and the future of The Republic. Those who believe otherwise are doomed to spend the rest of their lives on their knees, as Sheeples bleating into the vast expanse of their prisons.

MAGAts need to be crushed, driven back to their Morlock dens, steamrolled over and buried for eternity.

Keep the below mantra in mind when dealing with the republican party and their Talibangelical, Christofascist, Inbred trash

Trample their wounded

Hurdle their dead

Piss on their graves

There is no reasoning or dealing with them.

I want to see the Dems come together like they did for the 107 days of VP Kamala Harris' campaign. Show solidarity against that man, and grow spines, and fight for our Constitution our country our Democracy.

I was listening to the BBC this morning. They were interviewing the head of that Boston skating association that lost so many skaters and coaching staff in the flight. When asked about trump's response, he said it was the first inclination that they had that there were no survivors. That is shocking in that the families should have been notified before anyone went public with that statement. Then he was asked how he'd felt about trump blaming DEI and the former two presidents for the crash. He said the president was just doing his job. WTF?! Assigning blame before the black boxes were recovered, after firing the head of FAA?! The BBC commentator was clearly rattled by his response. I suspect the man was still in shock from the news and may not have been thinking clearly but I was appalled.

I hope we will even have an election in 4 years. Democrats need to speak up and resist everything Trump is doing.

Impeachment. Soon!! My Trumplican federal representatives have tasted the kool-aid and will not waiver from their support of the Dictatorship that they are in favor of.

I had previously read Trump‘s statement about Buttigieg that you mention… but until you put a spotlight on the fact that Trump used the word “bullshit” from behind the podium, it was overlooked by myself. I’ve guess I’ve grown accustomed to the lack of Presidential decorum already…. Sad.

Expand full comment

Well, Joe Biden did about the Affordable Care Act and somehow THAT felt ok. The statement that made it sound like Pete Buttigieg's sexual orientation was the reason for the crash or that a Black person flying or serving in the cockpit was the cause .................................. bridges way too far.

Democrat senators could have done so much better at the Patel hearing. They need to COORDINATE their questions (attacks) to be successful. Perhaps a script, so it doesn't matter if the chairman changes the order of questioning. That way they can tell the story to the American People.

Of what I saw, I wanted Schiff to talk more like Kamala - in the stern prosecutor voice and looks that really interrogate and let you know you are lying and better shape up.
