We are alone in this. The dems are better, but they are at fault here too because their entire strategy is being better then the republican which allows Republicans to be as awful as they please

Honestly instead of pushing me to the democrats, this has just gotten me to hate both sides, just hate one a little less.
You need to do more than finger waggle, treat Republicans the way they treat us
Chickens can at least peck a bit. These dems aren't even that tough
Another constituent, Donya Williams, complained Ivey didn’t know the people in his district well enough — because he admitted earlier that he didn’t know who popular podcaster Joe Rogan was until the middle of the 2024 presidential campaign.
This explains so much. They are as ignorant of the current state of things as the "apolitical" voters who thought Trump would be fine this time.
French aristocracy? Who ordered French aristocracy?
Well holding signs and doing nothing didn't work?
May I suggest a major and I mean major leaflet campaign?
Red Dwarf reference in the wild eh?
Guilty as charged.... Wondered whether it would just slip through on a mostly US based site. Spangler maintained the ruse I think.
Steady on. Next you'll be saying it's time for the slogan t-shirts.
Nah, we need to bring in the big guns for this one. Stickers with slogans.
Are we allowed to glue the leaflets to bricks?

"We've tried nothing, and we're all out of ideas."- The Democratic Party
“But please donate to my campaign to STOP this. We will soon, I promise”
Here's a 100 texts from candidates running for city commissioner in TN and you live on the west coast.
My god I am so sick of the emails.
I used to get emails like "Contribute to X because I will fight for our schools to provide school lunches to everyone!" And I'd donate.
Now, the emails are just "Donald wants to kill education. GIVE ME MONEY."
So you can use that money to buy another sign that says "Pweeze stop"?
The amount of “gib monies plz” messages I got infuriated me. Like you aren’t doing diddly squat why would I ?!?
We got a make them actually work for their money. If they want us to donate then they should do something they said they would do.
yeah, they have gotten so much fucking money. I could have done more good just spending that same amount on potatoes, or paying people to dance.

I think we may may finally be getting our message across. Here's why:
Last night, Adam Schiff, one of the Democratic lawmakers I respect the most, was on Kimmel, and was very rough not just on the HitlerPig Crime Family, but also Chuck Schumer.
But what really struck me, was that the very honorable, polite, and respectful Adam Schiff took the opportunity to basically say "Fuck You" directly to the president - TWICE!
Kimmel asked him if he had said thank you to HitlerPig, and Schiff said he used a different two-word phrase, but one of the words was "You," and everyone got it and laughed. At the end of his interview, he made another joke that was another very obvious disguised "Fuck You."
They were obviously baiting HitlerPig into a tirade, but seeing Schiff go on national TV and saying Fuck You to HitlerPig twice marks a very new direction in messaging for the Democratic party. I hope this is the beginning of pivoting from appeasement to Hard Ball.
Schumer and Pelosi don't have street fighting skills, they are from the era where Republicans weren't all violent dixiecrat trash.
Schiff and the newer ones don't bring harsh words to gunfights.
They're boomers. They never had to fight dirty. Theyre part of the Democrat gameplan to compromise on everythin
