This is not a thing that ads or focus groups or nipping around the edges with influencers can solve. We need wholesale change across the party — new leaders who can redefine what the party means.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

Give me a super cut of every time a Republican has told us to “let the states decide” for the last 50 years, as the Marines are sent into a city they were not needed or asked for.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.
they're doing this because the Insurrection Act sounds cool and edgy but they can't actually justify using the Insurrection Act. it's a silly action by an insecure administration desperately to seem manly and powerful. it should be criticized relentlessly, but it should also be laughed at.
Which makes me think that this is an effort to claim the insurrection act’s power without invoking the insurrection act’s authority. None of this is necessary, at all, and the governor should say so.

Right now, they have it set to a 450 word limit. that's WORDS, not CHARACTERS. So you can still submit incredibly long strings of text as long as there are no spaces. Or replace all the spaces with periods. The form treats that as one incredibly long word.
