I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

There has never been a better opportunity for Democrats to come out pro-military. The military has skewed republican for a long time, but Trump and Hegseth just shook military leadership, and many soldiers, HARD. Now is the time to let them know that Democrats care for them
