Dem leadership plan was to wait until 2026 until voters cried ...... [View all]

sad to say .....but looks like this was their plan - the senate dems were all voting for Trump cabinet secretary nominees........
or at least some of them.......

someone on here posted list of 15 dem senators that voted for Treasury secretary....who immed turned around
to give Musk access to payment info

what did klobuchar say ....will work with them where we can .....a sentiment shared by many ...not just her
....total capitulation by all of them....

where are the dems trying to get courts to stop musk..........their big effort is to attend rallies
that voters have organized......wow....what leaders

until Dem Voters piped up and shouted .....there was no urgency or plan.....

trump sent in MUSK because he knew he could.........and get away with it.....that's how
transparent the Dem weakness is......

Schumer and Hakeem - wow.....go along to get along..
Harris, Obama, Pelosi.......Biden......crickets!!! anyone still awake ...?

still no plan ....... they attend rallies that voters put together.....
they are reacting .....not being pro-active .......no offense being organized .....only defense and minimal
at that.....unless they're keeping it a secret .......

these dems might be ok when no one is rocking the boat but most of them are not
the people/reps/senators for the moment ...........

sadly Dem politicians are not fighters , nor are they messengers

voters want fighters.......which is part of reason they voted for Trump........

Biden only gave press conferences like once every 3 or 4 months if that....and very few
actually campaigned until a couple months before election

Although Biden did very excellent work behind the scenes......the public never knew
what he did for them.......... communication is part of the job and trump excels at that
though lies they may be ....but he gives a message over and over so that everyone knows
what he is about .......

I see no real pushback from any of the dem leadership other than slogans and shouting stuff at rallies that
they did not organize ................

still waiting for the dem cavalry!! think I'll take a nap till 2026 ........not sure I'll find a USA that I recognize when I awaken .......

the dem cavalry should include Digital platform(s) of some type that reaches everyone and posts progress so
voters know what the heck is going on for them........... and include alot of young tech savy dems who are
trying to get into leadership roles but instead are pushed aside for seniority to old timers who are used to
their perks and won't change their ways...... no change? no win!!!

can't they at least hire a smart young marketing firm to do this ??? and centralize new modern messaging ?
create platforms ??
