What OUR elected officials need to do do is forget about being perceived as “whiners” and have a scripted response to the gaslighting and lies. Go on the offensive, and when some media talking head spouts GOP lies call them on it. Our “policy ideas” are fine things to talk about, but the choir already knows those tunes. It’s the Independents and moderate Republicans that need to hear that we know how to fight and be reminded that the GOP is flat lying to them.
