Your title drew me in. Yes! I keep saying this: Democrats need to fight. We need true leadership. Current leadership is rolling over and playing dead. That doesn’t work in this situation.
The Message is Clear: Democrats in Texas are TRYING to take charge of the Party’s messaging. Look up Al Green, Jasmine Crockett, James Talarico, Joaquin Castro and Beto O’Rourke. Texas Democrats are TRYING to tell the DNC to be Tenacious and STOP focusing on SJW virtue signaling nonsense.
I only hear about or watch a handful of Democrats/Independents fighting. Every one of them should be screaming. Millions with no insurance, jobless and no hope in sight. Wake up. Learn what to do just like Senator Sanders, Senator Murphy, AOC and a handful of other reps. Do your job and fight for those that put you there. I get form letters when I write to my rep's or Senator and I will remember next time your seat is up.
“We also need to see contingents of them rotate and visit wherever the falsely imprisoned are being held from El Salvador to prisons from Florida to Texas standing up for the rights of these "chosen ones" whom Trump is literally dooming to a slow death in order to instill fear in us.
That is what an autocrat does. They choose the most vulnerable to instill fear. Fear mongering and whispering from those who are easily scared ensues and the power of the people is expunged and divided. “
I have asked for that from my representatives. But no actual ( not a form letter) reply. So gonna send again…
The gutting of our federal agencies and services is causing death and harm… but sending people without due process to gulags is a plan, that must be addressed! Not forgotten. Because they plan to do that to anyone and everyone who protested this takeover, if they can.
IF we can get 2/3 Democrats in Congress, and IF they can pass legislation to get money out of politics, (ban lobbying, Super Pacs, etc.), then Democracy may have a chance.
Nancy Pelosi already passed a bill in a Democratic House that does exactly that. So we know that IF they have a 2/3 majority in Congress, they CAN do this.
Bad news: it's mathematically impossible to have a 2/3 majority in the Senate in 2026. So we need to flip as many seats as possible and then continue to push for the 2028 elections, starting NOW!
I get to rant so rarely at home that reading about Jill Stein pulled the trigger. So many people bought into her lies& voted third-party and knowing what they got, stay silent. they don’t say they made a mistake. They don’t try to make it right. They just stay silent. These are the people I’m most mad about. The non voters and the 3rd party- “I’m above it all “ voters. They weren’t stupid. They were\are arrogant.
Honestly, blaming voters who choose not to participate in the show is hysterical.
Thinking that their vote would go Democrat is even more entertaining.
People who vote Democrat, typically follow politics, and people who don't follow politics are usually going to vote in their own self interest with no caveats. Do you think that sounds more like a republican vote or a Democrat vote?
There is no « messaging » issue. You only care about « messaging » if you care about lying. Democrats do what they are elected to do: governing, and in a 100% democratic we. We can only have a government FOR the people if it’s a government BY the people. If citizens refuse to do their duty as citizens and INFORM themselves and then vote, they will end up with a fascist regime. That’s not the fault of Democrats (all nonpartisan studies rank the Biden/Harris administration near the very top of all US administrations, in terms of achievements - while having to end both a violent GOP insurrection, a global pandemic, and then post-pandemic global inflation). That’s the fault of the two thirds of the American people who either didn’t vote or didn’t vote for Democrats.
Ah, yes, the old ideology of asking the people who are too busy with their everyday lives (democrats heavily contributed to this) and who are not well enough educated to understand how to research policies and politician's voting records, etc (also a huge configuring by democrats).
Yes, messaging is FUCKING EVERYTHING YOU GOOD DAMN FUCKING MORON.
You are trying to SELL your ideas - MESSAGING IS GOD DAMN EVERYTHING.
You, and the people who claim "Democrats are great" are simply the reason we are here now.
Everything in life is a sales pitch, if you don't sell it then people won't buy it.
People bought MAGA. They sold emotion over facts - THEY READ THE ROOM and sold the product the American people were looking for. Meanwhile, democrats thought that going on the Joe Rogan show and even MAKING A SMALL ATTEMPT to connect to millions and millions of voters is...
It's in large part BECAUSE people like you consistently buy into the two party system that continues to pit senior citizen against senior citizen while thumbing your nose at those who believe differently.
Newsflash - if a third party was able to penetrate states by connecting with the majority of the country that is sick of both the republican and Democrat messaging, things could change. Instead, you spend your time telling them they are wasting their vote either way. Forcing them to vote for beliefs they don't believe in - how very arrogant of you - maybe change the way you communicate?
But hey, why not continue to spend your votes on parties that continue to prove they do not listen to our care about their constituents. Sounds good. No chance that could EVER result in a dictatorship, because we have checks and balances in place.
If you wonder why both dems and reps are referred to, quite accurately, as sheep - this is why.
One party wants to to throw away the votes of people who genuinely don't care about the fewer than 5 trans-athletes in the country because they think they're better humans than others while running a woman against Trump twice.
The other party will take any votes they can get in order to gain control they will never, ever, cede.
So, yes, thanks to you and the way democrats act, we are stuck in nazi America.
I see your point...and as a Democrat...and an environmentalist...we are split in many ways...BUT ..still...to me the only caring "party" is still the Democratic party...we will always have people who are not educated enough...or ETHICAL enough to do the "RIGHT" thing..
So far, 3rd party voters have helped elect trump in 2016 and 2024 which resulted in the overturning of Roe and the possible loss of our democracy. When will 3rd party voters finally understand that 3rd parties have to start with local momentum. Putting loons like Williams, Jill Moscow Stein, and other weirdos at the top of the ticket will only help MAGA.
In real life, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats ALREADY passed a Campaign Finance Reform bill in the House that repeals the SC Citizens United ruling and takes corporate money out of political campaigns.
Now, Democrats are waiting for us. They're waiting until "we the people" finally wake up and give them the legal power to sign it into law!
Congress did pass a bill to get the big money out of politics, and then the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are "persons" and so the law was unconstitutional. Is there a way of wring a new law to get the money out of politics that will actually hold up to this Supreme Court?
I think the Republicans are not worried because they have no intention of allowing free elections in the future. They have no intention of leaving. They have control of communications and unlimited funding and are making sure their opponents have difficulty voting.
For the first time in my life, I am writing to the Supreme Court. It is obvious that Congress is not going to step in to stop Trump so we have only the Supreme Court left. You may want to do this too
I took a walk this afternoon and encountered an 85 year old neighbor who began to tell me about some medical woes. And he said, "You know you can't trust that Pinnochio..." Now, I knew he was a staunch Republican, a veteran, a nice guy, so I dared to say, "Are you talking about Trump when you said Pinnochio?" He said "Yeah, that is what I call him! All that comes out of his mouth are lies!" So, let's get out the vote for 2026. Talk to your neighbors, Republicans can change their minds! Let's do this!
Dems key fight right now, beyond killing this effing "bbb" is making effing damn sure there ARE free and fair elections in 2026. The Rethugs are well aware of what their fate would be if Dems were to win back the houses of congress. No doubt Musk, Thiel and other sociopaths will do ALL they can to prevent it - just as they did in November of 2024 - the first moment the Dems caved mightily (by not calling to investigate at least ONE swing state vote).
It's rather difficult for the Dems to fight the agenda when an entire political party and, to a lesser degree, the Supreme Court are in Trump's back pocket. He didn't play by the rules in his first go-round. He's now breaking every conceivable norm, custom, law, and more that comes across his distorted view of what one's life should be about. The people who voted for this monstrosity are to blame for this second descent into chaos. We all lived it in 2016-2020. SCOTUS gave him the green light to do whatever the hell he wants if it is somehow related to the role of president, and Project 2025 gave him the plan. It was all in plain sight, yet we elected him to do what he's doing. The Dems share in the blame, but, ultimately, the electorate over the past 10 years wanted this. There will be hell to pay.
It never ceases to bewilder me. Hell, Marshall McLuhan broke it all down for all to see and understand back in the 60s.
Yet, here we are 65 yrs later fighting for our lives against a cognitively and psychologically defective, damaged narcissist ( who btw understands how to expertly manipulate media).
mix in a corrupt congress, their lust for power and hopefully, the courts will keep us afloat till midterms.
Punch back bitches!!! That’s my sentiment for the democrats! Republicans GSD!! While we want to be Lilly white and say this is the rule of law…no Public Option, let’s not investigate voter irregularities from 2024 (how did T win 7 swing states and yet lose 4 senate seats in these states). The orange nazi is turning America into a nightmare for many immigrants, small business owners, elderly, LGBTQ+, bottom 99%, and even alienating our allies! Whaaaaat TF! Loving on Putin, Hungary’s Pres, Kim Yung Un I’ve been a Sanders fan since 2003 “Brunch with Bernie”. If you think moving more conservative or center as the country has been pulled far right…prepare to keep stacking up LLL’s! Rant over 😁
I love Bernie. But Bernie needs to become a Dem otherwise we can’t take the risk on a third party candidate or unfortunately another female candidate. Yes I voted for Clinton and Harris! America is just too damn sexist and racist and no third party candidate has ever been taken seriously! It has to be a white male Dem (preferably a snarky loud mouth)so just maybe we stand a chance of converting some of the cult members.
I agree with everything you said. Unfortunately by doing nothing but talking about Trump, they are replicating the Harris campaign where the entire platform was based on Trump. The Democrats should have put forward a platform that resonated with the needs and problems of the working class. That’s what they should be doing now, standing for something concrete and providing plans on how they’ll carry it out, e.g., taxing the rich, protecting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, universal healthcare, saving the dismantled agencies, auditing military spending to stop waste, protecting First Amendment rights, etc.
No. I saw it’s 42 pages. Thx for info. I was referring to Dems public speeches - they don’t ever seem to include talking points that underline valid initiatives. All they do is talk about the dangers of Trump. Instilling fear is no way to run a campaign in my opinion.
You have a valid point. The Democrats need to understand that they can fight for their agenda, their beliefs, regardless of whether they are in the majority or in the minority. They should understand that there are Republican voters who will never, ever vote for Democrats, even if crossing over would be to their benefit.
Republicans have proved that they will fight for their beliefs no matter the costs, mainly because they rely, not on facts, but on blind faith. They have failed at times, yes, but they persevered regardless. Sometimes you can learn a thing or two from your opponents.
I am an Independent, and I have voted Democrat because their beliefs are more in line with my beliefs. But they need to be willing to fight and never give up. At this point, they have nothing left to lose; and yet, even ìf the Democrats lose some elections, if they stay true to their causes and beliefs, they can lose with honor.
Your title drew me in. Yes! I keep saying this: Democrats need to fight. We need true leadership. Current leadership is rolling over and playing dead. That doesn’t work in this situation.
Or literally dying
Brian is Texan. He’s trying to send the Message that ALL Texas Democrats are sending.
Sorry. I’m missing something. I hope ALL Democrats are trying to send the same message. And? Was there something else you wanted to get across?
The Message is Clear: Democrats in Texas are TRYING to take charge of the Party’s messaging. Look up Al Green, Jasmine Crockett, James Talarico, Joaquin Castro and Beto O’Rourke. Texas Democrats are TRYING to tell the DNC to be Tenacious and STOP focusing on SJW virtue signaling nonsense.
Thanks. I know who they are. NOW I understand you.
Texas Democrats are the biggest cowards.
Except for Rep Jasmine Crockett. She has more balls and brains than the entire rest of the Texas State Delegation.
I only hear about or watch a handful of Democrats/Independents fighting. Every one of them should be screaming. Millions with no insurance, jobless and no hope in sight. Wake up. Learn what to do just like Senator Sanders, Senator Murphy, AOC and a handful of other reps. Do your job and fight for those that put you there. I get form letters when I write to my rep's or Senator and I will remember next time your seat is up.
Yes! Gonna steal and share:
“We also need to see contingents of them rotate and visit wherever the falsely imprisoned are being held from El Salvador to prisons from Florida to Texas standing up for the rights of these "chosen ones" whom Trump is literally dooming to a slow death in order to instill fear in us.
That is what an autocrat does. They choose the most vulnerable to instill fear. Fear mongering and whispering from those who are easily scared ensues and the power of the people is expunged and divided. “
I have asked for that from my representatives. But no actual ( not a form letter) reply. So gonna send again…
The gutting of our federal agencies and services is causing death and harm… but sending people without due process to gulags is a plan, that must be addressed! Not forgotten. Because they plan to do that to anyone and everyone who protested this takeover, if they can.
What the ultra wealthy want is more and more money. They have a hole in their soul that no amount of money will fill. They’re greedy fuckers!!!
It's not the repbulicans that want more. It's the people in the $hadow$ who want more.
Stephen and Peter need to go
Which Peter! There’s several to choose from, but Stephen NEEDS TO GO NOW!
Miller ...chief of staff
Republicans and others voted them in. They know who they are.
Those people in the Shadows are RepubliNazis.
I agree 👍
Yes!
… also abuse of power,
….insecurity &
…..hate of a mere flicker of opposition
Eventually ( not soon enough) they KILL the GOOSE who lays the GOLDEN EGGS...that's us...
I believe that's the plan. A "trimming down" of the sick and poor. This was the plan all along.
True. Their shriveled blackened souls/hearts see no value in human life unless they are currently turning a profit fir the wealthy.
We’re just collateral damage, to them!
Every Billionaire is a Failure of Society to curb Greed.
Absolutely!
IF we can get 2/3 Democrats in Congress, and IF they can pass legislation to get money out of politics, (ban lobbying, Super Pacs, etc.), then Democracy may have a chance.
Putting an end to Citizens United would be a good start.
Putting an end to Citizens United is an ESSENTIAL First Step!
YES!!
Nancy Pelosi already passed a bill in a Democratic House that does exactly that. So we know that IF they have a 2/3 majority in Congress, they CAN do this.
Bad news: it's mathematically impossible to have a 2/3 majority in the Senate in 2026. So we need to flip as many seats as possible and then continue to push for the 2028 elections, starting NOW!
From my understanding we may not have this opportunity. I belive there is a bill in the budget that allows DDT to stop any elections he chooses to.
Make it Supreme Court proof.
Please !!
Indeed!
It's adorable that you think democrats would ever want to get money out of politics...
The only answer, sadly, is a third party that truly cares about the American people, because it certainly isn't either of the two major parties.
Spoiler alert.
No third party has ever garnered enough electoral votes to win a presidency. Ever.
And it isn't too difficult to figure out which party is "people centric" and which party only cares about people in the $hadows$
I get to rant so rarely at home that reading about Jill Stein pulled the trigger. So many people bought into her lies& voted third-party and knowing what they got, stay silent. they don’t say they made a mistake. They don’t try to make it right. They just stay silent.

People who vote Democrat, typically follow politics, and people who don't follow politics are usually going to vote in their own self interest with no caveats. Do you think that sounds more like a republican vote or a Democrat vote?
Well about 10 million voters who voted Democratic in past elections stayed home.
Yes, so to my other point - Democrats have a huge messaging problem.
So you're not mad at the nazis who pushed the agenda...
You're not mad at the democrats for failing to message properly...
You're not mad at democrats for going to the same house 4 different times to push Harris...
You're mad at people who looked at the 2 party structure and decided to protest against it.
You are blaming protesters instead of perpetrators.
And because I have a different viewpoint, you are accusing me of helping Trump win the election...
And yet here you are, still wondering how the democrats manage to alienate more than half of American voters.
Look in the mirror and try accountability for your party's inability to win what should have been the easiest election in history.
There is no « messaging » issue. You only care about « messaging » if you care about lying. Democrats do what they are elected to do: governing, and in a 100% democratic we. We can only have a government FOR the people if it’s a government BY the people.

Wait for it...
ABSOLUTELY THE PROBLEM.
You, are absolutely the problem.
Sorry, this reply was meant for the other comment
David is Right.
Perhaps you don't understand the "sadly"...
Obviously we are stuck with these 2 parties.
It's in large part BECAUSE people like you consistently buy into the two party system that continues to pit senior citizen against senior citizen while thumbing your nose at those who believe differently.
Newsflash - if a third party was able to penetrate states by connecting with the majority of the country that is sick of both the republican and Democrat messaging, things could change.

If you wonder why both dems and reps are referred to, quite accurately, as sheep - this is why.
The "Both sides" argument holds about as much water as the Titanic.
One party wants to destroy the social safety net and explode the national debt in order to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
The other party wants to make billionaires pay their fair share of the tax burden and expand the safety net.
Decision making is so hard.
And yet, here we are...
Do you see my point yet?
One party wants to to throw away the votes of people who genuinely don't care about the fewer than 5 trans-athletes in the country because they think they're better humans than others while running a woman against Trump twice.
The other party will take any votes they can get in order to gain control they will never, ever, cede.
So, yes, thanks to you and the way democrats act, we are stuck in nazi America.
Thanks for all you do
In case you haven't noticed the US has a dismal voter participation rate.
FYI...20 million registered eligible voters chose to sit out the 2024 election. The results would have been very different if even half of them voted.
And here you are blaming THAT on trans athletes and the Dems.
Good luck with your false equivalence. You're gonna need it.
I see your point...and as a Democrat...and an environmentalist...we are split in many ways...BUT ..still...to me the only caring "party" is still the Democratic party...we will always have people who are not educated enough...or ETHICAL enough to do the "RIGHT" thing..

True. True.
So far the two party system has resulted in the death of democracy.
So, how's winning feel?
As long as First Past The Post is used in elections.
The political system is bound to degenerate into 2 political parties without any thitd party having a realistic chance of replacing the #1 and #2.
No other parties anywhere throughout congress.
You're seriously suggesting the only people electable in this country slap an R or a D next to their name?
The fact that you MUST become one of THESE TWO parties in order to become elected at any federal level should say something to you.
The reason none of us in the middle bay an eye when one of the 2 sides calls the other a flock, gaggle, herd, or school of sheep is because...
Wait for it...
All of you are sheep
FPTP needs to be abolished.
Got it ?
No...unfortunately it does not work that way...The "THIRD" party usually onlt takes away from one of the major parties..damaging all...
3rd party voters only help republicans. It’s been shown over and over again.
I agree.. it's always been that way asfar as I can determine..
Yes, because libertarians FAMOUSLY vote Democrat.
Do you even listen to yourself?
STOP THE CYNICISM.
In real life, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats ALREADY passed a Campaign Finance Reform bill in the House that repeals the SC Citizens United ruling and takes corporate money out of political campaigns.
Now, Democrats are waiting for us. They're waiting until "we the people" finally wake up and give them the legal power to sign it into law!
😂
OKAY...here we go...
Yes?
Congress did pass a bill to get the big money out of politics, and then the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are "persons" and so the law was unconstitutional. Is there a way of wring a new law to get the money out of politics that will actually hold up to this Supreme Court?
Democratic president could ask seal team six to discuss it with SCOTUS.
Well, that's on us to do.
I think the Republicans are not worried because they have no intention of allowing free elections in the future. They have no intention of leaving. They have control of communications and unlimited funding and are making sure their opponents have difficulty voting.
Probably true...
Exactly 💯!
For the first time in my life, I am writing to the Supreme Court. It is obvious that Congress is not going to step in to stop Trump so we have only the Supreme Court left. You may want to do this too

THANK YOU!! GREAT IDEA!! Writing now!!!
I took a walk this afternoon and encountered an 85 year old neighbor who began to tell me about some medical woes. And he said, "You know you can't trust that Pinnochio..." Now, I knew he was a staunch Republican, a veteran, a nice guy, so I dared to say, "Are you talking about Trump when you said Pinnochio?" He said "Yeah, that is what I call him! All that comes out of his mouth are lies!" So, let's get out the vote for 2026. Talk to your neighbors, Republicans can change their minds! Let's do this!
Dems key fight right now, beyond killing this effing "bbb" is making effing damn sure there ARE free and fair elections in 2026. The Rethugs are well aware of what their fate would be if Dems were to win back the houses of congress. No doubt Musk, Thiel and other sociopaths will do ALL they can to prevent it - just as they did in November of 2024 - the first moment the Dems caved mightily (by not calling to investigate at least ONE swing state vote).
Brian, keep up the great work! I watch you on YouTube as much as possible.
It's rather difficult for the Dems to fight the agenda when an entire political party and, to a lesser degree, the Supreme Court are in Trump's back pocket. He didn't play by the rules in his first go-round. He's now breaking every conceivable norm, custom, law, and more that comes across his distorted view of what one's life should be about. The people who voted for this monstrosity are to blame for this second descent into chaos. We all lived it in 2016-2020. SCOTUS gave him the green light to do whatever the hell he wants if it is somehow related to the role of president, and Project 2025 gave him the plan. It was all in plain sight, yet we elected him to do what he's doing. The Dems share in the blame, but, ultimately, the electorate over the past 10 years wanted this. There will be hell to pay.
Yup...and even before then....the "trump university" SCAM!!!
It never ceases to bewilder me. Hell, Marshall McLuhan broke it all down for all to see and understand back in the 60s.
Yet, here we are 65 yrs later fighting for our lives against a cognitively and psychologically defective, damaged narcissist ( who btw understands how to expertly manipulate media).
mix in a corrupt congress, their lust for power and hopefully, the courts will keep us afloat till midterms.

Good article thank you
I love Bernie. But Bernie needs to become a Dem otherwise we can’t take the risk on a third party candidate or unfortunately another female candidate. Yes I voted for Clinton and Harris! America is just too damn sexist and racist and no third party candidate has ever been taken seriously! It has to be a white male Dem (preferably a snarky loud mouth)so just maybe we stand a chance of converting some of the cult members.
Excellent points, and very well said, BTC. Let's get real...
I've been saying that since the first Trump administration. They need to take the fight to the Republicans, or deal with what he have right now.
I agree with everything you said. Unfortunately by doing nothing but talking about Trump, they are replicating the Harris campaign where the entire platform was based on Trump. The Democrats should have put forward a platform that resonated with the needs and problems of the working class. That’s what they should be doing now, standing for something concrete and providing plans on how they’ll carry it out, e.g., taxing the rich, protecting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, universal healthcare, saving the dismantled agencies, auditing military spending to stop waste, protecting First Amendment rights, etc.
Have you looked at their current platform?
No. I saw it’s 42 pages. Thx for info. I was referring to Dems public speeches - they don’t ever seem to include talking points that underline valid initiatives. All they do is talk about the dangers of Trump. Instilling fear is no way to run a campaign in my opinion.
Excellent article 👏
