NOW is the time to fight like hell!

Last edited Tue Oct 12, 2021, 11:57 AM - Edit history (2)





During a speech by President Harry S Truman, a supporter yelled out, "Give 'em Hell, Harry!"

Truman replied, "I don't give them Hell. I just tell the truth about them, and they think it's Hell."

Subsequently, "Give 'em Hell, Harry!" became a lifetime slogan for Truman supporters.



So what if Fox and OAN and the rest of Corporate McPravda stand with the pukes? Boycott them and the cheap pillow they rode in on.

Speak it loud and clear: The law is on our side. The facts are on our side. The good people are on our side.

Make it plain. The message will get through to voters.

Let’s give them hell, Democrats! Tell the truth!

Way past time to call out trickle-down what it is: Welfare for the Wealthy.

Build Back Better helps rebuild the Great American Invention: the Middle Class.

Kind of like the president we have now. Unfortunately not all the Democrats want to stick together

Billionaires approve. Were BBB to pass, life for working people would change for the better. And it would be lights out for the GOP.

Read on DU where one Assistant DoJ big wig was deciding what was permitted for investigation and had decided time and again in favor of Team Dump. The article implied he was a Biden appointee. I Googled the guy and found he was a Dumpy holdover.

10. That might work if all Dems were pulling in the same direction, but they're not.

It's a dogsled being pulled by 100 cats each one trying to run in a different direction.

That's why we will lose.

The democratic party has always been that way and baring some miracle, it will always be that way. At least until global climate change puts an end to civilization.

12. Most all DEMs support BBB. The two who don't are getting most all of the air time.

BBB will start the ball rolling for saving the planet. BBB also helps improve the quality of life for ALL the people in Arizona and West Virginia. Voters there and nationwide will support those who make a positive impact on their lives.

The fact Senators from each state are the two DEMs who stand in BBB’s way indicates they are compromised by the bill’s rich and powerful opponents. Perhaps President Biden can help them see the error in their ways or they can draw inspiration from history.



”I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign.”

— Harry S Truman, May 17 1952
