A balance of idea

The left and progressives have been pegged with the most outrageous notions and ideas, the six or so trans athletes, the "undocumented" law abiding individuals seeking asylum.
Where is the push back that there is only one party that has the full support of the nazi party, white Christian nationalist, et al.
There is no head of the Democratic party or member of congress person that had a public opinion of anything to say about the tongue in cheek ad of the jeans ad. Yet there is a lack of pushback from this narrative, much less setting the record straight.
A thought in progress.

An open letter to Democratic leaders. This is our Normandy.
Marshall all our forces or lose to fascist rule.

I get pretty direct.
Leaders are emerging.
We need to give encouragement to more.

Here's the leader board (apologies for any I missed, it was late and only so many pictures will fit my image editor comfortably)
