31. My plan is to fight back with more than strongly worded statements

Sun Dec 20, 2020, 10:58 AM

Dec 2020

I want to see action. GOTV efforts are part of it. But the space between votes can be devastating.

I want McConnell to be a little bit afraid of the Democratic leader in the Senate.

I think most of our elected leaders have never had to fight or get a little ugly. Sure, a few have but they aren't in leadership positions.

My criticism isn't meant to be aimed at all of us. Myself included. If we truly feel like Trump is a threat to our country, we should be ready to sacrifice. My grandfather's generation sacrificed a great deal when our democracy was threatened. I, for one, have sacrificed nothing.

We just need a new strategy. We dodged a bullet (hopefully) this time. We may not next time.
