This is just my opinion, but I think we need new leadership across the board. We have a lot of great young leaders that should step up to the challenge.
Also, this is not the time for "bi-partisanship". This is a time to defend our democracy and our Constitution. We should use the First Amendment to expose and tell the truth about these authoritarian charlatans at every opportunity. This is a time to fight, not a time for appeasement.
Donald Trump is still a liar, a grifter, and a criminal that cares about no one except himself. The election did not change that illuminating fact.
In my opinion, Democrats should be more involved in telling the people the truth about these transition nominees that Trump has put forth. This is no time for silence or agreement.
Democrats should criticize the corporate media for paying off the threats with which Trump has extorted them. They are not for the American people. They should be ostracized and boycotted, in my opinion. We do not need such spineless characters giving us the "news". Let them get into another line of work.
Bottom line: Democrats need to be the opposition Party. We cannot sit back and wait for them to destroy themselves. It may be too costly.
We need designated spokespeople to go on line, and on television, and define this Administration and their actions and consequences. Just as they need to be in front of the cameras on the floor of the House and Senate, like Newt Gingrich in the '90's.
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is said to be the meaning of "insanity".
We need to return to sanity.
