Why are we always 1 step behind? We need to be hammering home that Trump does not want to fund SNAP, that he wont meet with Democrats to open the govt., that he hasnt lowered grocery prices!!! We need to be on the attack like Gavin Newsom pointed out last night!! Who is in charge???

(6,140 posts)should be taking a page out of his book. We need to celebrate but we also need to capitalize on this moment. We can not afford to relax. Trump and his goons are working hard to keep us off balance. Its time for us to get them off balance. It takes the sheep forever for new thoughts to seep in. We should have our own ads.
Im with Gavin Newsom all the way. Take this guy seriously and continue to fight back. We can celebrate and attack at the same time!!!

(30,624 posts)How about, yesterday's election has given Democrats a mandate to govern.
Yesterday the American people rejected Trump's tax breaks for billionaires while holding back food and healthcare for the poor.
The American people have spoken in a loud way, Trump has failed to lower prices, lost farmers their markets because of his tariffs.
Trump fiddles while America burns.
The American people didn't vote for a White House ballroom where billionaires can come to buy influence.
Trump got drubbed yesterday.

(3,989 posts)When we called them NAZIs, we weren't so far off the mark---
In fact we were NOT off the mark AT ALL....
My newsapp has had a LOT of negative stories about Republicans in the past month,
which Democrats did not have to pay for....
There is a lot of free media out there which is working for US, for a change,
and a paid advertising blitz a year out from the midterm elections,
which you seem to be advocating, would be spitting into the void---
and in the Republican's case, if they are actually spending the money now which you claim,
they are spitting into the WIND !
For now, the free media stories about our great Democratic victories last night are just fine,
without stepping on our own good free media with paid advertising!

He kicked ass!!

(1,758 posts)Sometimes it's good to take a breather. People are sick of these ads and right now need a break. At least give us today to catch our breath. We did GOOD last night.

Pisces
(6,140 posts)is making their lives worse. Every day there are 10 new outrages and people forget everything Trump has done. We should be hammering home how tariffs have raised prices, how Trump refuses to fund SNAP, how he is sending money to Argentina instead of funding things that help Americans.
Reminding farmers that they are in the predicament they are in because of Trump!

(3,989 posts)which are completely different things from a paid-for media ad blitz....
Meanwhile, I HAVE been seeing negative TV ads against the GQP congressman in my MI-7 district
(which was Senator Slotkin's swing district) ever since they passed the big ugly bill in July....
(sorry, can never catch who is running them, but they keep running)
We WILL certainly get THAT 'swing' seat back in the mid-terms!

I do Not give a crap that they don't have "ads" out today..

(3,880 posts)Probably contacting people who actually create "ads" would be more effective than hollering at us.

(9,310 posts)They should not have a dime left today. Unfortunately, the republicans have unlimited resources because of citizens united and we whine about too many fundraising requests. Where do you think the money for the ads come from.
