They have such an agenda and are articulating it every day. My own congresswoman did this at a packed town hall two weeks ago. What we need is a media strategy to get past a billionaire-funded "mainstream" media determined to silence it. The fact that you are here and have no idea this already exists shows how successful the so-called "mainstream" media has been in promoting MAGA.

I have no idea what AOC, Bernie, Warren, Frost, Murphy, Jasmine and few others are saying and I'm sucking up maga media? 🤔 I don't think so.

There are a few Dems who are articulating the agenda, but thus far, they're outliers. They're so small a handful, they can be easily dismissed. The entire Dem party needs to get with the program that Lisa describes, and get LOUD. Get PUBLIC. Stick together, with every one of them channeling Al Green. And FFS, stop the mealy-mouthed Establishment Dem platitudes, as in Slotkin's response last night. Holding up REAGAN as an example??? Give me a break! Talk about a circular firing squad!

THIS. Right here. No, they shouldn't have all stayed home, or simply wore more t-shirts, held up more auction signs, or quietly walked out - they should've had the *balls* like Al Green did, and stood up one by one and shouted that asshole down for every single lie he blurted out. Do what the constituents are doing and get *mad*, and if need be, get *kicked out*. That was the place to do it, for all the world to see, in addition to the left-leaning media outlets where they're preaching to the choir. What Al did was electric and I was begging for more.

Slotkin, for all the good she did bring up, was not pointed enough in calling out Trump's bullshit. And she voted for *eight* of these miserable cabinet members, not to mention working in the CIA under Bush. These Dems don't have the fire we need in this absolute catastrophic situation we are in.

I'm afraid that history will look back on this, after Trump purposefully tanks the economy, sends millions into the streets, and then institutes martial law. I hope it doesn't happen, but it's increasingly looking like it may.

I have the same sense of despair when I hear someone on our side praising Reagan, because I lived through 8 years of that misery. However, the Hopium blog had a good point: this comment wasn’t for Democrats, it’s for Republicans who can’t figure out why Trump is such a lover of the Evil Empire. Hence the speech was in essence opening a new front against Trump.
