I stand by the statement on the OP. The Democrats should be dominating every news cycle. They should make headlines any way they can. Avenatti (like him or not) is a good example of how to do that.

Here's the beauty of all that: if Dems just talk about issues that are smack in the middle of Democratic orthodoxy, they will have agreement from the majority of voters, If they can show how the GOPee stand in the way of advancing these issues - or worse, tear them down - they will get cheers and actual SUPPORT from the majority of American voters.

Correct. We have little legislative power. But that doesn't mean we can't be working toward the day we will again.

Remember when the GOPee were the minority and managed to exercise considerable influence and actual control? There are strategic lessons there.

WE ARE THE MAJORITY.

Now we need to act like it.
