The party must change its ways.

A little while ago, Kamala Harris posted

Thanks to Senate Republicans, 17 million people will lose their health care.

Thanks to Senate Republicans, rural hospitals will close.

Thanks to Senate Republicans, three million Americans, including veterans and seniors, will lose food assistance.

Thanks to Senate Republicans, families will see their energy bills go up by $400 a year.

Senate Republicans are doing all of this and more — hurting working people across our nation — in order to pay for $1 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires.

There is still time to stop this bill before it passes in the House. Call 202-224-3121 and tell your representative to vote no.

Ok. Thanks for the sentiment, and the very tardy call to action after the Senate already screwed America. However:

- Where were the political posts from every Dem senator and congressperson urging a common course of political action coordinated by them/the party for all readers?

- Where was that vaunted ActBlue machine, which could have been used to mobilize (without asking for money) the Democratic base for not just days, but weeks? I can tell you that I’ve received more fundraising spam texts today, business as usual, but no urgent messages, and no calls to action…

- Where have the Dem “emeritus” politicians been, when they could have been organizing everything from phone calling to faxing to Capitol Hill visits to street actions? Gee, I see Bill Clinton came out to endorse disgraced Cuomo, but action organizing? Crickets.

This is why people have lost faith in the party. Our politicians could be real leaders, organizing on their massive soapboxes. We only see that from a handful, like AOC, Warren, Sanders (oops, not even a Dem). Instead, it’s just business as usual.

Folks, it must change. There will be no blue wave at the midterms unless the party and Dem leadership gets is collective backside out in the streets to truly organize and do damage to fascism.
