In reply to the discussion: Why is it so hard for Dems to AT LEAST hold a press conference. [View all]Keepthesoulalive
(2,421 posts)42. The democratic leadership is as good as the people they represent
If you dont like the leaders primary them. Get out the vote also lets raise money for our alternate candidates. Be very careful of kingmakers they can influence an election. We have our signs for our candidates in Virginia and indivisible as well as the Democratic Party are holding fundraisers. We are putting out our information on different Reddit platforms. Im working for that change we are working to keep the legislature in democratic hands and turn over the governorship. People dont know who their local representatives are why should they care what some guy from New York says. Go local.

You're going to get scolded for suggesting that Dems aren't doing everything possible and more.
