29. We need to get into the messaging war stat

We’re losing the narrative of a principled opposition. Being passive in the face of gross incompetence and misinformation is a mistake. The GOP is a death cult and Dems must get into the fight.

We should have opposed EVERY nominee thru unanimous consent - delayed, stalled and blocked. There are tools Dems could use and they’re rolling over instead.

It’s demoralizing the base and fueling the GOP.
