12. It's not just the Dem party. There is a HUGE amount of distrust against status quo politicians on both sides

I live in a flyover ruby red state and I've never seen nor heard so many people fed up with government as it is working now and they see ALL politicians as Carpet baggers that beg for money every 2 to 4 years and then disappear. Granted, repukes do that 2/1 as much as Dems do. It's also part of the repuke strategy in tearing government down. Whatever the cause one can argue until the sun comes up. But its there and its real. While its fun to mock FatAss we need to get down to offering everyone relief. As it always is, no matter what, the economy. Repukes would fire Jesus if he started hurting them economically. We need to run on the fact that we will stop anymore cuts to the safety net first. As much as we want to, if we win in '26, we can't spend 2 years doing nothing but investigations and impeachments. We need to do real legislation and let the King repuke veto every bill we toss up. We need to repeal the BBB as many times as we can if we have the vote. Focusing on investigations just turns people off and makes it look like 2 parties fighting for their own reasons and not the peoples. There is no economic benefit to trying to impeach this asshole again. We need to seriously continue to move away from the neo-liberal BS that got us sucked into this mess in the first place. We are sitting so pretty right now, they are panicking. The Independent voter out numbers both party voters now. We need to fish on that side of the pond. Most of those people wont vote repuke but they will sit out a cycle if it just looks like status quo BS. We cant blow it over more and more investigations and impeachments. Its the fucking economy, show people we are serious about fixing it.
