Well stated…..& make it easier for people to vote. Once they are inspired if there are too many obstacles in the way, they won’t vote.

If the goal is to win and deliver for people, that means playing the politics of now, not the politics of 30 years ago. I don't care how many boxes you check, or how detailed your white papers are. If you can't inspire voters, it doesn't matter.

Unpopular opinion - as much as I loathe washed-up establishment politicians, I don't favor term limits. If someone is legitimately serving well, great! Keep electing them.

I DO favor getting money out of politics and voting reforms to make it MUCH EASIER to defeat incumbents.

I think BACKPACK secretly likes getting STUFFED.

…not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yes - Democrats need to raise funds to compete with better-resourced Republicans. But money alone is not enough. Bold, powerful, inspiring ideas are the real key to victory.

Can we do both? Like parallel tracks? I think we have to prepare for those elections as if they'll go forward, but also mass organization in the streets.

This is the sort of thing @koryamyx.bsky.social talks about. Look at all those different accounts posting the same slop.

A false claim has spread for months on social media about FBI Director Kash Patel, Alexander Vindman, Trump, & a phone call. The false claim has gotten tens of thousands of reposts & likes, including from Newsmax host David J. Harris Jr.

Twitter/X accounts: "🚨BREAKING: Kash Patel calls for Democrat Alexander Vindman to be prosecuted for leaking a phone call to undermine President Trump.

Should Vindman face justice?

YES or NO?"

The people showing up to protest in inflatable animal costumes are doing way way better resistance counter-propaganda than any of the left-wing militia defense types who show up to civil defense actions in their cosplay operator gear.

Gonna start calling these guys the inflada.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Technically, he may have been a federal contractor and not an employee, but that still means people got stored and had to work for free. If I remember, there's a name for that... 🤔

The “Bayh” name & family status will literally “buy” him votes

A big problem with politics today….big donors buying votes….in exchange for favors. I want Morales voted out but is Bayh really running for the good of the people in the Hoosier state?

Thanks Scott….keep those clips coming!

"I am appalled by Geoff Duncan thinking that he’s automatically welcome into the Democratic party because he’s now had some sort of revelation," said George State Rep. Derrick Jackson. Not all Democrats see it that way: www.thebulwark.com/p/can-a-repe...

Can a Repentant, Regretful Republican Thrive as a Dem?

Geoff Duncan isn’t just running for governor of Georgia as a Democrat. He’s testing how wide the party’s ‘big tent’ can stretch.
