We won't be successful fighting Trump with Schumer/Durban in party leadership positions. Now is the time to put leaders in place who understand the fight we're in.
Will you call for Schumer to step aside?

“Anyone who helps me try to steal an election gets a pardon” is perhaps the most corrupt thing to happen in American history.
That “conservatives” have simply accepted this as the price of admission is the greatest moral and intellectual humiliation.

Democrats finally had some, after massive turnouts for #NoKings and resounding wins in both red and blue states last week.
The majority of the country, rightfully so, held Trump and the GOP accountable for the government shutdown.

There’s a two party duopoly in this nation.
Is it great? No! Is it reality? Yes.
Creating a third party means building up an entirely new infrastructure from scratch and then fighting both R & D.
Taking over the Dem Party is an easier and more effective route. It’ll take time, but it’s worth it.
