Happily retired near the beach and family.
You know what flights aren’t being cancelled? PRIVATE JETS!
How about that! One more example of “ More for Me and less for Thee!”.

Graham Platner has been very clear about his untreated combat related PTSD . The corporatist Democrats will do all they can to keep the gerontocracy in place with Mills. They don’t read the room. Pelosi, Schumer, and the rest of the gerontocracy need to retire and let new leadership emerge.

Janet Mills will be 78 in December. That’s too old for Senate. Schumer is an AIPAC recipient and is a corporatist Democrat. He’s wedded to keeping the party in the clutches of billionaires. Read the room and pay attention to the youth and their expectations. Graham and Jordan are appropriate.

I will no longer donate to the DNC or the DSCC as they have ONCE AGAIN failed to read the room re: the gerontocracy that has become the Democratic party! They clearly are wedded to the status quo, dictated by Schumer and Martin. Endorsing in an open primary? Schumer needs to retire!

Janet Mills is a great public servant but at almost 80, she is not a good risk. Once again, the DNC leadership have shown their total incompetence by putting her in the mix against Collin’s!
We have two perfectly good candidates in Graham Platner and Jordan Wood.

• Ornstein says Democrats need to pair their facts and policy depth with emotionally resonant messaging to capture attention and urgency.



👉 The big picture is: Don’t just oppose — govern out loud every day so people feel your presence and trust you to lead.

• Frame everything around how issues affect ordinary people (jobs, health, rights, safety).
• Avoid letting process stories dominate.
• Put human stories at the center of messaging.
5. Build Emotional as well as Rational Appeals
• Republicans often lean into emotion & id.
August 30, 2025 at 9:01 PM
• Don’t wait for crises or elections to drive coverage.
• Push out consistent, repeated talking points across TV, radio, podcasts, social media, and local news.
• Make sure voters hear the same themes again and again, so they “stick.”
4. Keep the Focus on Citizens, Not
Politicians.

• Present concrete policies and solutions every day so voters see Democrats as proactive problem-solvers, not just reactive critics.
• Show how they would govern differently right now.
3. “Flood the Zone” with Messaging
• Don’t wait for crises or elections to drive
August 30, 2025 at 8:57 PM
@kenmartin.bsk Ornstein’s Messaging Suggestions
• Each day, highlight a specific issue (e.g., health care, reproductive rights, democracy protections, corruption, economic fairness).
2. Act Like a “Parallel Government”
• Even when out of power, behave as though you’re running a shadow government.
August 30, 2025 at 8:55 PM
@kenmartin.bsky.social The Dems are NOT doing enough!
You should be following norm Orenstein’s suggestions to wake people up!

Ornstein’s Messaging Suggestions (as you summarized)
1. Hold Daily Press Conferences / Briefings
• Don’t rely on scattered appearances.
• Create a constant drumbeat
August 30, 2025 at 8:53 PM
People must wake up to the fact that Trump putting armed US military on American streets is an effort to desensitize Americans to a police state in advance of declaring martial law and denying us free elections in 2026 and 2028. Wake up! That’s where this is going!

When will we all rise up and demand a reversal of Citizens United?? Senator Ossoff is spot on! www.instagram.com/reel/DMOHDGG...

It’s time for Dem leadership to show strength and Newsome appears to be the guy to do it.

This is Dover Air Force Base in Delaware where tonight, the bodies of 4 service members will return from Lithuania. Presidents are expected to attend this very solemn transfer of remains. But our President is playing golf in Florida with billionaires.

Those who covered up Biden’s decline must not have party decision making power!
We need new leaders!

We need all new Senate leadership!
Schumer, Durban , King , Hassan , Shatz, Cortez Masto, Fetterman and
Peters! These people are weak and will keep us from regaining the support of the people. Time for the young people to step forward.
