If he sticks to the narrative that Dems in Federal office currently aren't doing enough. To me that says he wants them to and plans to himself, fight harder.....I'm cool with it. I feel the same way honestly.

Just curious, are any of us on here pleased with the current level of effort from our federal democrat elected officials?

For me I'd say some of them, yes.....many of them, no.
