So, who do you want to see following AOC and Bernie?

I figure that we should make lists and talk it out because I do not know if anyone else is willing or would even be interested in this. My personal feelings are that this . This could be an essential for us to keep more in the face of the country.

They do not need to do it exactly like this. Shorter hops maybe, different ideas. More fun or more serious. I am convinced that this will do the party well. Never be out of the news with ideas to make everything better.

If I get one more mail saying, "I am sobbing because you did not do ...." How totally stupid is that if you want people to actually care? We need them out there looking fit and ready to go with ideas that make people happy because we should not be upset every day by what is happening. Our government is supposed to be helping us have enjoyable lives. We should not be hiding because of the color of our skin etc....you all know the issues.

As I said in one of the posts about AOC and Bernie, they make me feel good if only knowing they are out there caring and helping us to know things we might miss due to the shape of the news these days.

Remember the feelings you get when you are standing there listening to someone you respect speak right to you? I do not think most people even have the chance to feel that. I sure did I was nearly in tears.

Just a thought. Trump cannot hide them once they are out and about.

did not make it to you, sorry.

Start making a list if you think this is a good idea. Any and every one of them should have some time to go somewhere if they choose to. The world needs to know we are not just sitting here letting the world become ruined by our creepy group right now.

I know nothing about her, a perfect chance to learn and push her name whenever possible.

ALL of these people would make a fantastic experience. They do not have to do a Bernie but once here and once there and wherever people do not usually get this chance or all over when they had the time. Personal experience... it means a great deal to communities like that.

Your choices gave me a big smile!

What do you mean, "following" them?

If you mean fighting back against this administration, there are already plenty of good Democrats out there doing that, even if they don't get the same level of praise -- or coverage... -- from social media for doing so.

This exactly.."If you mean fighting back against this administration, there are already plenty of good Democrats out there doing that, even if they don't get the same level of praise -- or coverage... -- from social media for doing so."
They are out there but how many people really know that? There are people that should be out there and are not. It would be nice to encourage them, obviously they are not obligated to do this.

If they are already out there we SHOULD know. If they want our votes they are going to have to speak up. There is no demand here, I am just firing off on how I feel when there is a rally and how I feel if there is not.
