BLOCKED FROM SPEAKING?

The republicans block all job legislation and a couple of democrats speak out about it.
The republicans blame Obama for the economy and the democrats say nothing about the Bush Regime's doings. The cable tv pundits do...
The republicans put us in this mess we are in. The democrats need to speak out about that every day and every night on the hill steps and in the cable tv newsrooms. Leaving it all on Ed Shultz', Rachel Maddows and Lawrence O'Donnel's shoulders is cowering.

SPEAK UP EVERY DAY AND EVERY NIGHT TO LET IT BE KNOWN THE REPUBLICANS PUT THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD IN THIS MESS!!

or are ya scared of the big bad Orange Man and his groupies?

so you can speak all you want, but you have 0.1% chance of being heard.

The far right owned and controlled 99.9% of mass media when Clinton and Obama got elected too. Just a thought.

Sure its tougher lately -- UUVVR --

U - The destruction of the unions -- the supplier of a lot of the Democratic GOTV efforts -- continues ...
U - Citizens United
V - Voter suppression -- voter ID, shortening early voting periods, making registration drives difficult or impossible
V - Voting machines -- many more states' control of voting machines and electoral process in the control of RepubliCONs than in the past, meanwhile progressives rarely talk about this anymore.
R - Redistricting - many more states' redistricting is in control of the RepubliCONS than anytime in decades
