David Hogg is right. We need to primary the complacent democrats as well as the republicans who don’t care about us

People need to see the youth of today as the leaders we need. The Old Need to step aside and let the younger generation grab the reins. The protests need to continue on a regular basis as I am not sure the phone calls to congress and the letter writing is making a dent in them. We need to use what senator Tillis said in the speech he gave yesterday and blast his comments on radio ads, billboard and use those words when giving speech while stumping for the next election. Make sure those people understand this was a republican telling everyone this bill will hurt people and people are going to die because of this. I read that since USAID has ended thpeople it helped are dying at a rate of 88 persons per hour and over 333,000 have already died. This is not acceptable especially all the stuff food and medicine has gone to WASTE in a warehouse somewhere. Unacceptable for the USA to have done this.

All of your criticism is spot on. The Dems didn’t want to be called election deniers so they caved before they had to. They’re also more interested in pleasing their donors than their constituents. They need to awake from their slumber and pound on criticism about Republicans every day.

I wholeheartedly agree . We had 4 years to expand the SCOTUS , we had 4 years to stop this goon conman but Merrick didn't even try . If Joe was sick it was decietful to not drop out earlier if politics . And I love Kamala for saving my house from a horrible predatory loan she represented us in the early 2000s creating a great predatory law .BUT SHE AND JOE JUST WERE TOO FUCKING COMPLICT with this last election. Handing a sexual predator the keys to the WH so he wouldn't be held accountable or get jail time . If you read Dissent Blooms substack, you'll see a address where this all started and finished with this and the last two elections (at least) .I quit voting because if this obvious BS in politics in 84 . Nothing has changed . The entire election grift of money to politics every two years locally and 4 years Nationally have taught me two things . It's all seriously BS. A huge money maker if politics and yet the biggest crooks are put into office ..for a reason ,either to deter us from what's happening globally or to sway us to the elections for nothing but mire money . Second is I've learned my motto of :

BE AWARE OR BEWARE

nothing is truly as it seems

Real history is not what we've been told .We're only told to believe what they want us to know .

If it's in the news ..the opposite is the truth . And sadly , it's a bummer but it's a bitch to grow up .. and I've had to do that because of this horrible man ....and fir 70 years , In didn't . Now for my grandkids I'm forced into those shoes ..And I had to go from Birkenstocks and moccasins to HIGH TOP ARMY BOOTS ....and I ain't comfortable anymore

I remember being like why would you pick Centrist Garland? Of course he did not do his job

Centrists I think:

-are only concerned with THEIR tax bill and fantasize that they are in the 1%

-fetishize the horrible shit cake Reagan era (they still really love the movies Back to the Future, Top Gun, Red Dawn for some reason?)

-were born $$$$ privileged and cannot compete on level playing field

-low information and low education voters(so not read very much)

-do not understand that there like 3 Communists left in the world and they are not coming for you. People in the USA at least own too much stuff for it to be doable or desirable here.

Because I hate to say it but Garland is a Federalist . If not one he gives speeches to them . So proving he wouldn't prosecute Lumpy was his open invitation . And Biden had to have had a inkling about this after years ...Biden being Opus Dei ....(Even though I thought he did his best ) Kinda reassured me the end results would be what they were . All of this money on proving Lumpys a crook was exactly the same waste ,fraud and abuse he's saying now he won't be doing when let's face it ... more money is spent (wasted ) and all of these lies , and fraud has wAsted more taxpayers money than any other one thing that either president actually did ....it's all just a blur to deceive us and hope don't remember

I couldn’t agree more! IT IS NOT ENOUGH!! It will never be enough until each person has what they need for a decent and fulfilling life! The GOP has absolutely no compassion or vision. The rest of us, whether Dems or whatever, must keep ours alive and FIGHT!

You are so right, the Dem’s are practicing their own form of insanity. They can’t keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome. I for one am tired of the constant texts for donations. I cannot, will not give contributions for nothing. They’ve had months to coalesce and present a game plan. Where’s the unification and the message? There has been a few sparks but nothing close to the bonfire we need! Sometimes I find myself wondering if the shoe was on the other foot, if the devil incarnate was the leader of the Democratic Party would the dem lawmakers sell their souls just as the Republicans have?

Standing ovation!!! Bravo!! I am holding your hand and reaching for as many hands to hold together because WE are The Solution and Yes, We Can! C’mon People, let’s gather together NOW! As for the Democrats in Congress, I refuse any financial support to Cowards who are spinning the wheels in their cages while Americans and immigrants are being captured, caged, denied, surveilled, shot at, beaten, hungry and sentenced to death because of the poverty the system has created. Let’s deport the immigrant in the White House and his Cabinet and put an end to slavery in America. You aren’t alone, my Friend, there are many Voices joining yours—I will reach out to as many as I can and pray those I reach also reach out to end the Evil in our government—before the concentration camp in Florida is filled. Hurry, we are running out of time! Run, hold hands and Run!

It is sad that basic decency has sunk to such a level as this! I am completely with you criticizing democrats for their lack of action! They let these bastards off the hook and we all now will pay the price!

About sums up my attitude toward the 'establishment' Ds. The support for "unpopular centrist candidates" is the result of those who have little being the most fearful of losing what they have, which why "they’re committed to a course of inaction". As Billie Holliday sang in God Bless The Child: "Them that’s got shall get / Them that’s not shall lose / So the Bible said and it still is news."
