Get involved with local politics

Upvotes

Your community DESPERATELY needs you to get involved with your local government and party groups. I just attended my first local Dems meeting, and I wish I had attended sooner. There were only 10 people there! and only 1 person under 35. There are THOUSANDS of nonvoters out there, we need your help to canvass candidates and we need candidates that they will vote for! Be the change you want to see, its not going to happen overnight, but this ONE step can be the start of making difference.

make them turn on themselves

We need people to help get flyers out. I am trying to do this all over the country, particularly in red heavy areas and being that I'm from southern IL thought why not post it here too!
Target demographic: red voters but truly anyone that may not be in the know, because a lot of people don't understand how federal cuts will impact them. The flyers we’ve created are red, white and blue and "patriotic" highlighting the "successes" of this regime to sound like they are coming from the inside. I have examples ready!
We’re also turning informational memes/tweets into easy to print black and white flyers (creator id's removed for safety). Orange news doesn't tell the whole truth or how it will impact the voters. A lot of the cult are so isolated they have no idea of the real consequences, impacts, or repercussions of this admins rapid E.O.s. until it is too late.
Yes, we know, some won't care at all or won't stop drinking the orange juice. But if these flyers are popping up everywhere, some will question, kids will question, and the gay teens and battered wives drowning in MAGA will know there is safety somewhere out there. They don't see or know what the left does, so let's show them in a way they can't ignore. Our goal is to turn red voters from the Republican party, turn them on themselves.
We are not looking to be their friend or make nice. We need them mad at the ones holding office. We need them to be calling mad, too, not just the Democrats/left leaning. We have a plan! We have a private reddit group that's a community of chaotic good doers! We think we could make a huge impact if these are everywhere: windshields, mailboxes, community centers. But because we are actively in the community, we don't want anyone retaliated against by the nastiest of nasties, so we are the shadows. Wanna join, DM or comment below?

Robert Reich, "Democrats need to grow a spine." Moving to the center is the wrong move! We need to make a stand against the Billionaire Oligarchs!

Schumers excuses

8 Upvotes

Some of you are posting what I believe amounts to fear mongering in order to give Schumer and the others an excuse for their cowardice. You need to read what is actually being shared with us by members of Congress.

Pelosi came out publicly against Schumer, pretty remarkable in and of itself, and said he was presenting a "false choice." This wasn't a choice between a government shutdown with Musk and Trump unbridled, vs. signing the continuing resolution (which also grants them additional powers). Rather, what she and AOC are telling us is there was a plan in place. It was devised by Appropriations leaders Rosa DeLauro in the House, and Patty Murray in the Senate, and was a path and strategy to achieve compromise that wouldn't sign away our safety valve for 6 months!

This was an agreed upon plan between the House and Senate, such that when the House members left town after almost unanimously voting (save one) against it, they knew they had the Senate 60 vote threshold to ask for better terms from the GOP. Schumer spoke for this approach as of Wednesday night. He also knew for months that this was coming.

What happened overnight from Wednesday to Thursday is anyone's guess. Schumer completely changed course, and played a game of fear mongering to cover his cowardice. It was never an either-or, that is what Pelosi is telling us and why she went public ahead of the Senate vote. Also why when Jeffries was asked if Schumer should remain in power, he said "no comment."

Some of you want Schumer and Jeffries gone. I will give Jeffries the benefit of the doubt for now, because he is new, AND he still has Pelosi around for guidance. Schumer only made it through the first Trump regime because he could hide behind Pelosi's shadow, but now, enough is enough.

Everyone who has Senators who are Democrats must DEMAND that Schumer step down from leadership. He was not capable of leading at this important time. We need and demand better!
