We need to stop "celebritizing" our Dem leaders.

They're people just like everyone else. We shouldn't care about what one leader says or does or even doesn't say or do. What we should care about is contesting every single election in America. The most effective way to communicate to voters is through elections, and when we contest every election, we tell the voters what we stand for, and because we contest every election, they can come to rely on us as a party.

That's what wins in the long run. Elected officials and candidates come and they go. It's our values that stay around.

right now. Democracy itself has been severely undermined, and there's a dangerous, rogue administration trying to start a nuclear war as a foil for their crimes. The rot is intractable and deep.

Hopefully USA will be able to fix this and recover from it before T&Co. install an outright dictatorship and/or start a nuclear war.

Then people can tackle the rest. But until these scumbags are out, there are more important things to do.

This is not a normal pResidency.
