(6,163 posts)Why is it that the only battle plan the democrats seem to have is "defense". IMO we NEVER challenge the repugs until it's way to late. Case in point. SCOTUS seat. Now everyday dozens of emails from dozens of groups running around with their hair on fire AFTER the Kennedy resignation. All looking for money of course.
It now personally feels to me like throwing good money after bad. Of all the checks I have written and petitions I have signed
I have never been told or shown that my effort really helped.
Not even once. Was there a clear back and white result where anyone wrote and said Thank you, because you and 1000, 100,000 or 1,000,000 other people gave and sign we won this one battle.
Where was the outrage when McConnell STOLE Merrick Garland's / Obama's seat. GDamn it! fight as if your life depends on winning BECAUSE it does. The life of this democracy is on advance life support right now.
I have to wonder if we are not seeing a similar situation that we have recently seen on a smaller scale. The case where Stormy Daniel's original attorney was privately selling her down the road by colluding with Trump's attorney Cohen. Colluding against her all along.
What the hell have the DNC and the DCCC been doing to protect our interests. Colluding for their personal benefits. It seems like for congress members and their decisions it is ME FIRST, PARTY SECOND, never all Americans.
