is choosing to work with liars, felons, bullies; they are the WORST VERSION of Charlie Brown trusting Lucy. ENOUGH ALREADY. Lead or get out of the damn way. Please We ALL need to be LOUDER, and call, write, tweet and demand better leadership. We have a real battle ahead. We need strong leaders.

are WORSE because THEY HAVE HISTORY to see what it did. They do not CARE; their greed is insatiable; their lust for power is off the charts, and their putrid adolescent brains are like angry adolescent boys who are DEMANDING we all do what they want. Our current DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP

Reagan and his REVOLUTIONS began the march backwards to the Gilded Age. We are in a WORST "WEALTH DIVIDE/GAP' than in that first GILDED AGE. We have some of the most obnoxious WEALTH HOARDING, amoral white males of history pushing for "more, more, more". Men like MUSK, Theil, Vance, tech bro mafia

their children in the best of times. NOT PERFECT; lots and lots of work laid ahead as we saw leaders emerge like MLK Jr, Malcom X, Gloria Steinem speaking out and waking us up to injustice. We never got to that place where DIVERSITY, EQUALITY and INCLUSION were no longer issues because effing

FDR was gone before I was born. But better schools, unions, communities that benefited from the high tax rate that required the OWNERS/INDUSTRIALISTS to either pay up or INVEST IN COMMUNITIES; IN BETTER WAGES; IMPROVES FACTORIES. My parents were children in the worst of times, but got to raise

robber barons wants. Like now, the young people in the 1930s, needed to fight the forces of "America First" who were pushing the USA to support Hitler. So we have a blueprint and history. The STRENGTHENING of programs that benefited labor; the poor; that at least began to work toward more equity

same old" CORPORATE game plan, to please the donors. We need LOUD VOICES: the fact that neither Schumer, nor Jeffries, nor Gillibrand is endorsing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social speaks volumes; speaks following corporate orders. TIME TO CHANGE. We need leaders, not corporate tools.

lies, threats, and purposely demonizing every democratic voters; ever gay person, every trans person. I am livid. I am sorry there is political violence. I am sorry there is gun violence ANYWHERE but there is only ONE PARTY who is insisting guns, guns, guns everywhere for everyone all the time.😡

every cable news network is helping to memorialize a racist, misogynistic bully who made life hard for so many. Now trans people are being blamed and threatened even tho' the supposed shooter is a white unaffiliated male raised in a Mormon MAGA family.And where is MEDIA; covering a memorial steeped

MSM is sanitizing Mr. Kirk. And in some cases canonizing him. And it's the right and the so called "center" pushing this "both sides" lie. Not one elected dem has done anythng but condemn this. MSM is a FAIL.

to grow in conglomerates.Time for LOUDER, STRONGER, MORE HONEST VOICES calling out the 40+ yrs that gave us Trump, and the greed is good governance. The "conservative" GOP remains the "me, me, me, it's all about me" party; but the dems STILL have time to get back to the "We, the people" Party.
