That they need to focus on economic policy because the economy was the number one issue and every single poll showed that Americans didn't feel like the Democrats were doing enough to fix the economy. But instead 90% of what they said was Trump is a fascist which,while true, was clearly not working.

We have less time than that Democrats HAVE to win in 2026; and it's more than just the Federal races, but the state houses and governor races too. A message too large for MAGA to ignore; that their time is ending. Take the House and Senate, take the majority of mansions and terminate MAGA

Update by Stephen Spoonamore. His analysis leads him to believe there is enough evidence of hacking that it would flip the election results if he is right. Harris team not showing interest in pursuing a challenge. WTF!!! spoutible.com/thread/38163...

spoutible.comStephen Spoonamore on SpoutibleHello. I have heard from three people close to Ms. Harris. None of them believe she will engage. One of them was ... floridly livid ... a stronger term could be used. Whic

While I disagree with a lot of your policies, I appreciate your dedication to our constitution and democracy. My father was in the d day operation and didn’t fight fascists then to have them take over now. Looking forward to your leadership to get us through the next four years

We need high-level lawyers, scholars,strategists, poli scientists planning to take back our country and restore what Trump will destroy in the next 4 years. They will be working on cementing their rule, so we have to be steps ahead. This is more than rah-rah talk. We need org, money, political will.

Uplifting the working class is key IMO. Americans cited the economy more than any other in exit polls on why they voted. 60% of us are living paycheck to paycheck. If Joe had passed #UBI or raised the minimum wage we would have won. Dems rejected Shawn Fain and sidled up to Liz Cheney instead.

I think there's every chance we'll crush them in the midterms: even many Trump voters aren't going to be happy with what they see in the first two years of Trump's term. Assuming he and the GOP don't abolish voting before then.

Great analogy! We need to hang together not try to find a scapegoat. We are the majority and need to act like it. Stay calm and work together for the sake of our country and to protect our Constitution. Courage.

Last week I watched a documentary on the abdication crisis that I hadn’t seen before on BBC Select. I found it oddly comforting - It was oddly comforting in a way. The media feeding frenzy, the power struggles, the people being led by the nose, fascism as a backdrop were all present then as now. 1/

If history is any indicator, a hero will emerge. And it will probably be as unlikely as sane people thought the sight of DJT riding down that escalator was. The thing is, getting out of this mess, it’s almost certain we won’t be nation we were. The Brits lost the empire to win the war. 2/

While the Commonwealth is a fairer entity, imo the lesson here is that, after all this shakes out. we might not resume our role as the powerhouse and “arsenal of democracy” that has been advertised. Further, victory will be short-lived if it isn’t followed by fruits like valuing a quality 3/

Thank you for your kind words on Britain here. I'm a Brit myself. My Grandfather fought against the Nazis in very important ways. ( Monitoring U-boats in Scotland) We did come through it. America has to learn lessons if it's going to survive,Trump Part 2.

I think we're wondering who this David is that will go up against Goliath. It seems most everyone up there in the DNC stratosphere are either afraid to speak up against Goliath, or they're as scared of him as the little people are. Cuban and Oprah come immediately to mind, but there are others.

You need to start up MAGAnon. “Hi. Name’s Clem.” “Hey Clem” “I used ta think it were funny, ownin’ them libtards. Now mah eggs is $15, ‘cause the egg guy golfs with Trump. Mah kids come home talkin’ Rusky they lern at Charter Skewl. Mah PlayStation? It.. went up $2200! “I’m a dumbass sucker”

I hope you’re right. Trump has nominated Death for Health, Crime for Justice, and Treason for Intelligence. Destruction is his goal. Purges are coming. I don’t think it’s a given that there will be free elections. Who will stop him? SCOTUS? 🤭

Yes, it does. My father was one of 338,000 British & allied troops who survived, and escaped back to the UK, from Dunkirk in 1940. He not only survived, but helped prepare thousands of tanks for the Normandy landings that led to the crushing of Nazi Germany. And yes, WE will crush Fascism too.

Thankful for your father and his mates Michael. As Frodo said'"I wish it need not have happened in my time," "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Since the election I've re-watched Band of Brothers, The Pacific, John Adams, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington & Saving Private Ryan. Good reminders of the real America. Next I'll go int'l starting w/The Darkest Hour. Dunkirk's on the list, too. We must never lose sight of who we are. Who we REALLY are.

Thank you for this - struggling with feeling hopeless and fearing impending doom and social unrest. Counting on sane leadership to help lead us back to the country and norms we always assumed would be our national identity.

Yes the bad guys keep winning and that's because the bad guys are willing to go low. And high and mid air and anywhere else that gives them the win. The comfort of sticking to the moral high ground is not going to save anything. Never did, never will.

We have power. Do not obey in advance. Fascists have to demoralize people & make them believe they are powerless. Trump barely won. Barely. He had a many people vote for him in 2016 as in 2024. He is limited. We cannot give up.

I keep saying this is 2004, when John Kerry lost by running to the right of George W Bush. Righwing pundits said we needed to run a Bush clone if we ever wanted to hold power again. Rove said they had a "permanent Republican majority". In 2008, Obama said "Yes we can!", and we did, spectacularly.

Right on. "We shall fight them on the beaches, we shall fight them on the landing grounds, we shall fight them in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight them in the hills. We shall NEVER surrender."

I don't think there's anything they can do here. It's on us. The good news is, we've screwed up plenty of times before and fixed it. Churchill had it right again when he said Americans always do the right thing -- after we've tried everything else. So, no one should count us out quite yet. 😉

We shall fight them in the Courts, we shall fight them in the voting booths, we shall fight them in the media. And if they think they can FORCE us to believe in THEIR ideas of what America should be, they've got another think coming!

BUT, back then the Greatest Generation answered the call. We were screaming “If Trump wins, he will destroy our country” and the boomers, gen Xers and gen Zers, said “cool, let’s do that because eggs are too damn expensive. It will be interesting when we can’t find eggs at all. 😤 We’re so screwed. 😢

I understand that. But it's done. We can't allow ourselves to become daunted. I take my walks in the middle of the afternoon when it's warm, just about when the school buses are letting off the little kids. That's who we're fighting for now.

We need to be focused and prepared for some real wrestling. Let’s identify the basics and get that message across about jobs and making the American Dream achievable. Let’s not get distracted by tangential issues and deal with the hard ones our citizens are facing.

I don't know. This situation feels very different. History may not be repeating itself but it sure is rhyming at present. Eyes wide open: Pandora's box is open and it's not gonna be closed easily

Maybe for you. For us in the LGBTQ+ community, it's Stalingrad at best, Auschwitz at worst. If you disagree, you haven't been paying attention to what they are gleefully gloating about. What do you think the tariffs are for? A quick cash injection to fund project 2025.

With Respect, Sir..the World that WE inhabit isn’t over 70 years ago. Perhaps a message to get people involved.. most schools don’t even teach Civics anymore..
