Thoughts About Wisconsin

The Willie Horton ads did not work, the voters are seeing through the bs.

The Voters do not care for Elon Musk, do not like his destruction of our democracy.

Krasnov will not criticize or blame Musk for the defeat in Wisconsin, he can't, Musk gets his orders directly from Putin.

Krasnov instead (I believe it was Miller) posted about the great victory in Wisconsin where people voted for voter ID. Wisconsin already has voter ID, the vote was just to make it harder to get rid of voter ID.

My most important take from Wisconsin, and Florida, and NY, and Pa. is that the people are turning against Musk/Krasnov. Now is the time, is past time actually, for every Congressional Democrat to get out and meet with the people and do town halls. Now is not the time to sit on our laurels, now is the time to educate, organize, motivate working class Americans. Do town halls Democrats and first of all, listen to the people, and then tell them what Musk/Krasnov are doing to them.

It should not be up to just Bernie and AOC and a handful of other Democrats to do what every Congressional Democrat should be doing. We need Schumer and Jeffries to demand that Democrats do town halls, because it is up to us, the people, to throw out the billionaires.

There are at least a dozen Congressional Democrats who are leading the fight.

Schumer and Jeffries need to organize their members to do town halls. I live in Magat country in central Pa. and I would love to see a Democrat do a town hall within 50 miles of me. The people will come, I will come.

My biggest takeaway is that the Democratic Party isn’t dead, MAGA is not on the march. After the election there was a certain vibe in the media that Trump had won and couldn’t be stopped. The recent election results to me prove that we are returning to some normalcy and MAGA can and will be taken down again.
