Stop the effin fighting and start running ads with the price increases of all goods and services from his inauguration to now.
Get the old newspapers - post the tariffs. Cover the prices of all goods and services.
Let him and his ReTHUG MAGAts chat shit about fake price increases.
Hope this is pellucidly clear.

(25,053 posts)Trump keeps going on TV promising money he won't pay, and telling people prices are down when they aren't. He is basically pissing off people. The best part is, his actual base and independents are more likely to listen to him than a Democratic ad. Trump is torching himself. This is such an unforced epic error.

(3,982 posts)I believe they are flaunting these galas on purpose to show that they have SO much, while they are literally ripping away what little others have and rely on for survival.
These people are deranged and sociopathic and sadistic. I think they believe their cruelty and sadism are actually good qualities.

(22,015 posts)The poor and middle class against the super wealthy, why do Rs always give the richest people tax breaks
running up the deficit? Can we ever get that paid off?
Hey magat can you explain how trickle feeds your children or puts money in your bank account?
Remember Occupy Wall street? MSM sure gave them a lot of attention.
And if we're out in the streets proclaiming we're hungry while the super wealthy are demanding larger
tax cuts from our R politicians, how in the hell is MSM gonna spin it to make us look like the bad guys?

(3,012 posts)... that, since M$M is so reluctant to present the Democratic side of any critical issue, the Democrats would get their message across to those who need to see it by making better use of billboards. Short, concise messaging in BIG letters that even semi-literate MAGAts can read as they roar past, their truck nuts swaying from the trailer hitch.

(45,473 posts)our local Democratic Party has a hard time getting billboard owners to rent to us.
GiqueCee
(3,012 posts)... perhaps individuals or small groups could sponsor the billboards. Without the Democratic Party's name attached to it, you might be able to sneak the message past censorious billboard owners.
Here in Vermont, billboards are illegal, so I haven't had much interaction with billboard owners on behalf of clients. There's gotta be a legal work-around, but free speech is only for Republicans in Rhonda Sepsis's Florida, I guess.

(71,416 posts)that the GOP have reneged on all promises including SNAP and added a threat to abortion? We increased our voters in the last election by working hard and Earning voters trust. Our party is not popular you know in polls.
Why would new voters
trust us to fight for them? Schumer and his eight have caused irreversible damage and lost the ACA.We got nothing. I dont know if we ever get healthcare back. It was fucking hard the first time.
Thus I say primaries for those who betrayed us and yes I do know these folks were chosen because they had less to lose. But I have a long memory and zero tolerance for this sort of thing. We were played. And there is no excuse worthy of consideration. I will always vote Democratic but time for a change.
I heard around that this was the plan
to sacrifice the ACA for better midterm results. I hope that is not true.The cynicism of that view and the stupidity in thinking it would work is mind blowing. In any case, we need new leaders.

Sogo
(6,822 posts)because the Rs were just going to run out the clock on it. The Dems have at least gotten them to agree to hold a vote on it.
Whether or not the Rs follow through with that agreement or ef it up with more abortion restrictions, it is not the Democrats' fault!! There will either be a difficult vote or the time was just going to run out on it, both are the Rs' doing. Please take a moment to try and understand that.

(71,416 posts)It only happens if we weaken abortion laws. So the ACA is done. And knowing how hard fought it was to get any health plan. I find accepting the GOP LIARS word was just plain wrong and stupid.

(6,822 posts)making the ACA go away. The Rs were NOT (as in NEVER) going to do anything before the impending deadline of 12/15 when enrollment ends and the rates are locked in. How can you say the Democrats have anything to do with that, whether they held out or not?

(883 posts)He's getting a little political these days. I asked him what the Dems need to do to gain their support. He said we need younger people like Obama was. He had a lot of good things to say about Obama. Then he said it's all about the economy. People vote according to their pocket books. Housing will always be an issue and the mortgage industry needs a takedown. Not lip service. I agree with him on everything.
