1. NO. Democrats have little power but what they DO have they refuse to use. What is that?

MEDIA
and
MESSAGING

They should have a press secretary and staff that formulates and creates messaging for the entire Dem caucus in Congress to use on social media, on podcasts, YouTube, and regular mainstream media - all saying essentially the same thing. HARD-HITTING messaging that keeps its teeth sunk into the Republicans' asses 24x7 to keep them ON DEFENSE.

Will Grampy Cankles get mad? YEP.

SO? Good.

They have that power. They refuse to USE it.

Nobody knows what they stand for. They have no alternative to P2025. What is their platform? What is their alternative?

Why are they so mealy-mouthed about calling out Trump's corruption, lawlessness, etc? Yes talking about healthcare, housing, food etc is essential but they do not HIT HARD with OFFENSIVE messaging.

NO fight in them.

It's INFURIATING!
