Just a reminder of basic FACTS

The Democrats won the last election. Donnie Two Scoops is there because of hostile power fucked with the election.

There is nothing really big wrong with the Democrats.

The biggest Basic Fact? This election was STOLEN.






I am mostly deaf to all the "Dems need to blah blah, blah."

Dems do need to continue being super vigilant in monitoring elections and challenging EVERYTHING that doesn't smell right.

We can't explain all of the losses with either Russia hacking or Jill Stein and the Bernie Bros.

There are lots of factors. Money. Voter suppression. Gerrymandering. But there is also messaging. We should be winning elections all over the country that we are losing because people who should be voting Democratic are either staying home or voting Republican (or yes voting for the equivalent of Jill Stein.) We need to convince people to vote Democratic in such large numbers that all the other shit is irrelevant.

We need to yell it from the rooftops constantly until people realize that this is a fact and not an alternative truth.

The Reeps and Russia have the capability to fix elections,
and will until the grass roots gets strong enough, large
enough, and determined enough to force change.
