22. I will not

Thu Aug 21, 2025, 07:18 AM

Thursday

I will not stop the criticism at all. This is not just a Texas republican problem, but a lack of urgency in the democrat party in not undercutting the false and corrupt narrative messaging the republicans do so well.

With the complete and utter disregard for democracy and humanity by this administration, the democrats should have a cakewalk into the next election.

The urgent pushback, is just not present. We, the voters should not be the only voices in this. We, the voters are doing our party leadership’s work for them. Our protests, our texts, our conversations of Release The Epstein Files, Save Medicaid, We pay for our Social Security, etc. should be echoed in town halls, diners, school auditoriums every day. We have a few outstanding and outspoken representatives leading the effort, but just a few.

Fight Fire With Fire. Stop bringing a box of cookies to a gunfight. Our country truly needs the democrats to retake all 3 areas of our government, and it starts by making sure we retake the house anyway we can. If that means doing what Texas is doing, in the blue states, then do it.
