The Democratic party better get off their asses and

grab the bull by the horns now. Other than the dozen or so who seem to be doing the work of opposing and exposing the Republican fascists the rest seem timid or silent. Everything needs to come to a stop until the killing the abuse and kidnapping by ICE is stopped and explained. Until the full Epstein files are released. Until the illegal and unconstitutional behavior of the president stopped. I could go on with examples but every day another crime and malfeasance is committed. People are sick of it and if we want to win the midterms give people a reason to vote democratic not against.

Shut it all down. This entire country needs a general strike like what is happening in MN.

Anyone counting on the DC Dems to rise up to save the republic is not being realistic.

Not interrupting their opponent and all that.
