I think it should be a mandatory job requirement that the chair of the DNC be social media savvy with a strong presence on camera.
Ken Martin doesn’t have those skills and doesn’t seem to want to invest in fixing that.

Damn straight. I totally agree. Tramp isn't the problem, it's his admirers and sycophants and STUPID VOTERS.

This. And the infamous "grab them" statement. And lusting after his young daughter. And 25 public, credible sexual assault allegations.
But 77 million of my fellow Americans voted for this creepy orange POS. Rapist. Felon. 77 million.
And 36% of registered voters just didn't bother.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Vote USA not GOP. Period, full stop.
There has never been a clearer example of the fact that we do not have a legislature in the United States right now. Trump tells them to vote no, so they all vote no. Then Trump changes his mind and they all change their votes. That is autocracy. Vote them out!

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.
