To me, we are seeing two things at play - neither with any good solution

[NewHendoLib]

One party has gone completely rogue - because it has been shown for decades now that laws can be broken in broad daylight, with impunity, with nothing to pay.

And one party has the reins on using propaganda - a huge non-stop well funded right wing noise machine.

We are the party that plays by the rules (but doesn't necessarily do well penalizing those who don't). We are also the party that is at a great disadvantage when it comes to the media.

Not good...not good at all.

1. We are the majority by millions...

Our largest problem is the gerrymandering that disburses our majority so thin, we become the minority in districts all over the country that in the State Houses puts us at a disadvantage at home and at the Federal level in the House.

Although we are the majority by millions.

7. No choice but for underground railroad for reproductive rights and blue areas band together.

The way the system is we will get more diverse yet ruled by the minority. No other options but for progressives to work behind the scenes. Get funds together to help women exercise their rights to abortion, educate kids in progressive schools in blue areas, and blue areas do as much business as they can with each other.

The government will be run by the minority so the majority will have to find ways to get around it as best they can.

11. I believe your right and we should band together.

We can start by ending Federal taxes from blue states going to red states. They hate us, why should we work and pay them money to use against us.

[Ron Green]

2. Who's gonna tell the truth?

About economic growth on a finite planet? About calling a bullshit failed war machine “defense?” About lowering gasoline prices as a political strategy? About pretending “left” and “right” are meaningful ways to understand what are our real challenges as humans and creatures of nature?

What politician in either party will talk about any of these?

3. great points all.

5. Well said sir. I would add, who will talk openly about the open fascism?

[Ron Green]

6. Indeed. Including the friendly fascism, the Veterans Day,

Flag-waving, thank-you-for-your-service kind that I see and hear all the time in my town. It’s un-American to question it, you know.

9. Yep, happens all across the US, and as these people wave their little flags, they have no idea how

they are being used, and if your say something, explain something ... then you're some kind of un-American communist or whatever.

[LonePirate]

4. Your first two paragraphs suggest you're talking about two different parties and not the same party

8. Democrats Are Fielding Star Quality Candidates For 2022

They are betting on things looking a lot different in 8-9 months than they do today and those changes will propel them to victory in November. Two things will propel this. One, the infrastructure bill will have the economy humming. Two, the public will finally hear the details on how 1/6 came about and who directed it and it will be brutal on Republicans in both their involvement and the scope. Granted, Republicans will just say so what and many will cheer defiantly but that will not carry the day for them. I am somewhat optimistic.

10. We can "Go high" and have effective message mechanics and right now we don't
