No. Now is not the time to play dead.
The Democrats have already played dead for too many years.
60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Millions of seniors are going hungry.
Now is the time to stand up for the working class of this country.

For 250 years, the United States has supported democracy.
Now, in the middle of a horrific war that Putin started, Trump is turning his back on Ukraine and democracy, all to the benefit of a brutal dictator in Moscow.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
Trump has not uttered a critical word about Putin but he and his VP publicly belittled the leader of the nation Putin invaded.
