Dear DEMS! Pay no attention to nay-sayers & people with agenda who wish our party ill. [View all]

It seems the new MEMO/MEME is that DEM Party is in trouble.
MSM really wants to go with this memo meme. GOP really would like to run with this meme memo.
Putin trolls/bots also running away with this gaslighting memo meme.
Heck even Donald is promulgating this memo meme or meme memo calling us the democrat party and saying we are in trouble.
Is the memo d'jour.

All of the above WISH we were in trouble.
They are gaslighting us. THEY ARE PROJECTING.
Plus it is a form of both parties are the same.
They have been able to suppress our voters and are afraid of us.
They don't like that our party has lots of diversity. Thus trying to control us & our narrative.


MY BALLAD TO DEMS


DEAR DEMS,

Pay no attention to nay-sayers & people with agendas who wish our party ill.
Our real task is to stop suppression. We got the numbers.
The future is in our hands. TOGETHER.
We together know all of this. Don't get gaslighted by people with agendas.


The only trouble DEMS need to contend with is voter suppression
(which MAGA by making ONLY WHITE VOTES while sending POC to the back of the bus.)
Plus we need to make sure Russia keeps out.
Other than that we are ready for 2018.

People telling us we got problems are gaslighting us and have an agenda to sabotage our party.
Anyone who says that the 2 parties are the same is lying & has an agenda.


People wish the DEM party was in trouble so they attack us, our party & our DEM figures & leaders.
They are not strong so seek to weaken us!
Our only problems are voter suppression (plus that eff up- Russian meddling/collusion last year).

Wondering why the Republicans desperately seek to suppress POC & DEMS from voting?
Because we got the numbers.


We got the numbers, why do you think the GOP is desperately suppressing our voters?
Why do you think the last 2 GOP presidents had to cheat to become prez?

Dear DEMS don't listen to people that speak of our party and us in the 3rd person.
With a tone of condemnation at the smallest slight
and lots of authoritarian phrases like DEMS Better do this,
& ready to give up at a moment's chance
or waste our time in endless fruitless disputes.


They give themselves away when they do that.
They are not our friends.
They want what we got.
We got the numbers.

Each of us makes our party battle-strong.
We are UNITED & READY.
We are the reason we are gonna KEEP THIS REPUBLIC.


CODA:


But don't argue with people on twitter about whether policies and laws are racist or sexist.
Argue with your City Council and your state reps and senators and Mayor and alderman.
And if you don't like how that argument went
Fire em.
