HAPPENING NOW: National Update and Call to Action With Dem Party Chair Ken Martin and Dem Leader Hakeem Jeffries

[Ms. Toad]

5. I had hoped to be impressed -

but I wasn't.

A lot of focus on the elections two years from now - we can't wait two years.

A lot of pep rally type stuff: Trump is losing in the courts. Trump hasn't passed a single bill. We only need 3 Republicans - we're in better shape than the last time Trump was in office.

Lots of talk about going on podcasts and things other than the mainstream media. Some talk about going on Fox. Far less talk about messaging to recover the voters we lost this election.

Some talk of litigation - that was the most hopeful and most likely to be a helpful response to the immediate crisis.

Which is I guess what I found most disappointing. Despite the comments at the end of the video acknowledging that time is something we can't get back, most of the talk focused on long-term responses. We need urgent responses, now.
