(62,325 posts)routine again. Tell the Dem Party Leadership to provide REAL DEMOCRATS, not right leaning, corporate impostors, which to our shame we DID vote for, over and over because 'the other guy is worse'.
You are not listening. We DID that, and we got a cabinet filled with Republicans in Defense especially AND National Security along with Corporate CEOs. Where are all the Progressive Dems we expected in key positions in this government?
It's too late to try that old fear tactic.
And you are wrong about voters staying home. Voters have gone LOCAL and in this last election they VOTED for Progressive Issues anywhere they appeared on ballots, across the country. They just saw no point in voting for people who are not going to represent them on those issues. But they WON so in communities across the country, people now have progressive legislation that they once hoped they could get from DC. DC is so far removed from ordinary people at this point, the people no longer trust them.
Those are facts and the Dem Party can listen finally and stop listening to think tanks, paid for by Wall St, start listening to the people and they will win.
