American government to the people and talk about it, in detail, with real facts and figures.
Everytime DOGE cuts and guts, Dems should present an alternative to the public with counter objectives and funds that counter Fake Doge, oligarch propaganda.

This is the perfect time to offer healthcare for all. And the cost is less than no insurance.

This is an arrogation of power by the executive.
The SCOTUS majority had better see it that way too or they will be signaling a fatal breakdown of governance in the USA.

They feel off in the weeds or bogged down, this would create hope and something to fight for, over thr ruins the Republican party and their two Russian assets are doing to our country.

No, it's time for Americans to feel the error of their ways because """presenting an alternative""" did not work. Warning them of this did not work. Words do not work. They need to feel firsthand the consequences of voting Republican.

(28,633 posts)Complaining about messaging: Democrats use too many words, too much like college professors, elites, explain too much. At the same time demanding they just use the right words and explain to Republican voters that they're voting against their economic interests and they'll listen, easy. A politician they worship gives a shouty speech and is changing the world; a Democrat gives a speech about the same thing and it's not passionate, fiery, loud enough and they're sitting on their hands.
There's been too much anti-Trump/Republican news today, so the bullshit attacks against Democrats have to start up again tonight.

Corporations are not people, since 1790 before the framers even wrote the Constitution, but was included in the Decennial Cencus counts ALL PEOPLE. GUESS WHO HAS NEVER BEEN COUNTED, CORPORATIONS, because they are NOT people.
This is what the next administration can offer.
