We Are Following Chuck Schumer's Plan To Defeat Republicans [View all]

The House took a stand and voted no to the CR. The Senate kneecapped the House and the CR was passed on March 14th. Chuck Schumer was afraid that Democrats would be blamed for shutting down the government. Chuck went on Chris Haye's show and told us all what his game plan was; to let Krasnov burn it all down and then beat them in the midterm election. He said that.

How about taking a stand on March 14th? How about Schumer and Jeffries organizing every Congressional Democrat to do town halls in red, blue, and purple districts, not town halls where the Rep stands behind the dais and answers questions, a town hall that puts faces to the people who will be devastated, killed, have their lives shortened by the Big Ugly Death Bill. A town hall like MSNBC had where fired federal workers told their stories. Do the same thing for people who are going to lose healthcare, pay more for healthcare, lose coverage. Do the same for the cuts to Social Security.

The time to fight was last March.

OK, the CR passes on March 14th, how about organizing town halls then in every district explaining what the Big Ugly Death Bill will do to people by putting faces on the issues. The thing is that these town halls would even be covered by local Fox News affiliates.

Democrats had over 3 1/2 months to do those town halls, from March 14th to the 4th of July when the Big ugly Death Bill passed.

Too late now folks, but guess what Democrats are doing, holding town halls to let everyone know how Krasnov screwed us, how Krasnov burned our house down, the Schumer train is full speed ahead, get on board and GOTV. Hoping we have a fair election.

The Big Ugly Death Bill is going to kill people and shorten the lives of people and make the lives of red, blue, and purple people miserable.

Schumer and Jeffries and every member of Congress will have the same healthcare plan they have today, maybe a better one, most of us will not.

We could have done more, we should have done more.
