Where is the Party?: Time for Democratic leaders to 'fight with both hands' or 'step aside'



Even in easy times, this democracy needs care. And right now it is in dire need of defense. And it needs defenders who are willing to do whatever it takes. Americans are begging for more. Begging for Democrats to get off the mat and back into the fight. If political leaders in this country are not prepared to fight with both hands, and are not prepared to make “good trouble”, then perhaps they should step aside and make space for those who will.

This guy makes a lot of sense to me.

Where IS the Democratic Party? It's sure not with Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.

to show up online.

I had hoped to post the two segments together. Some worthy and powerful cable tv.
