Oct 19

I will be working the democratic table on Election Day. I was taught in school about the power of propaganda by my Jewish teachers. I see that power right now with the influencers, social media, the churches and the news media. I saw the changes when Nixon resigned and the republican mafia started crawling into every nook of government, people like Ailes. If you find me naive perhaps you should not engage with me in the future.

Right?! Quanta Oct 19 #1

That's the job for the media, pundits, YouTubers... QueerDuck Oct 19 #2

How about responding to **anything** that Trump does? Orrex Oct 19 #7

LOL 😂🤣 QueerDuck Oct 19 #18

And it's clear that the cheerleaders will always be ready to shield Dems from their responsibility Orrex Oct 19 #20

That is utter crap MorbidButterflyTat Oct 19 #43

Yes, when they respond they're accused of only being reactionary and only "We're not as bad as Trump, vote for us" betsuni Oct 19 #46

"Cheerleaders" means something very different in the current context. Orrex Oct 21 #50

That doesn't exist. "Status quo" is the fantasy that Democrats are corrupt with the same economic policies betsuni Oct 21 #54

Nice try. I'm smarter that I'm being given credit for... QueerDuck Oct 21 #65

Here's an interesting view from a famous far-right extremist Orrex Oct 21 #70

Press conferences, million dollar ad buys ... QueerDuck Oct 21 #67

Yes MorbidButterflyTat Oct 21 #69

It's flattering that you imagine me to be capable of such sabotage Orrex Oct 21 #60

You're flattered? Really? Wow. QueerDuck Oct 21 #61

First day on the internet, eh? Orrex Oct 21 #63

Ahh... resorting to personal insults? LOL. QueerDuck Oct 21 #66

Who is leadership working with to resolve Autumn Oct 19 #16

Jeffries was on This Week this morning trying to inform people and put pressure on the Republicans to negotiate. LudwigPastorius Oct 19 #31

We all know the Republicans are not going to negotiate Autumn Oct 19 #33

I don't think it's unreasonable to hope that our leaders might use this moment Quanta Oct 19 #12

Thank you. That is was what I was going for. Chasstev365 Oct 19 #17
