Things are coming to a head. I believe vast changes are coming, whether we want them to, or not:

59. Since 90% of the news media is Republican-owned, the Democrats are at a horrendous disadvantage.

Democratic leaders will have to fill in where they suffer from the lack of not having their own news
media, which could have been doing at least a part of the work.

Beginning with Sanders, whenever the opportunity arises (such as giving a speech, at the end of it
tell the people about what's going on in Congress, how many Republicans and Democrats there are,
what the bills they just voted for or against may mean in terms of helping or harming the American
people. How it would hit their pocket books. The Republicans will provide all the ammunition the
Democrats need. Each time they make proposals to cut down spending less to help the poor and
try to give the "savings " to the Super-Rich, point out clearly the insanity of such a move. What
could be done to have the situation remedied. Then point out who was responsible for taking away
from those who alr have too little to live on, and giving it to make the rich richer.

If blatant lies on the part of the Republicans have been told, give the American people the real story
backed by evidence.

It will take some time, but more and more uninformed Americans will get to learn the truth of who are
trying to make their lives better, and who are the ones who are trying to make them still poorer.

They will also begin to realize that voting during off-years is just as important as voting during
presidential election years, because bills have to be passed in Congress first before they reach
the President. And the Party with the larger number of Congress members have the say wnich bills
get to be seen by the president , and which bills don't.

This doesn't have to be long, but it should be done often. Warren and other senators could be doing the
same thing in the Senate, and Pelosi and other Representatives in the House. It could be done briefly
when they are speaking on TV. Just give a short but clear message whenever something interesting
or important has happend.

I feel very strongly that Democrats should strive to have a news media of their own to counter the
omissions, propaganda and lies of the Republican news with true news, and backed by evidence.

The above is a gist of what could be done. But you get the picture.
