The Democrats need more than just one line of attack.

I can tell you read my piece, thanks!

You're great, Jason. Keep going!
What you left out is that if they had any real courage they wouldn't go to government buildings and allow themselves to be turned away. They need to put themselves on the line.
And they need to replace Schumer.

I think if you want to stage violent encounters with the Blackwater jabronis in the lobby of the GSA you should lead the way, kiddo

You misunderstand me. I'm talking about a sit-in, not a war. Why would you jump to that conclusion? Peaceful protest is a long-standing tradition.

dceiver.bsky.social•15 days ago

they've...done...peaceful protests??????????????

BTW, I do appreciate your interacting with me at all. You have been a journalistic hero of mine. I just don't get why you aren't trying to understand me.

I guess I don't know why I merit a weird sarcastic "keep going, Jason!" in this instance??

For someone who writes so well, that's pretty obscure. Not a kiddo. Been through civil rights, anti-Vietnam, anti-nuke, anti-Iraq & more. Been arrested once at totally peaceful anti-nuke protest (charges dropped).
What's wrong with suggesting that MoC lead protests? Use their status for media?

If they're still waiting they haven't been paying attention.

It is by no means a great plan, but it might be the ONLY plan that convinces his followers to quit drinking the Kool-aid.

dceiver.bsky.social•13 days ago

my plan is, however, very great

Replace Schumer with a leader. Almost anyone could better.

Democrats need a national spokesperson responding daily with a regularly scheduled press briefing to counter the stream of lies, misinformation, and craziness being spread everywhere by Trump/Musk. I would suggest Mitch Landrieu, a great speaker with a great resume and actually, POTUS possible.

DIRECTOR'S CUT: Can't stress enough that the House Dem position should be zero votes for anything without significant concessions/demands. What should the demands be? Whatever adds up to this headline "Democrats beat Trump." (This should have by now been communicated to Johnson in camera.)

Schumer is like: "🥱 hey guys, we'll just stick to the "Clinton/Obama playbook of 90s and 2000s. No problem. We just need a good slogan and some celebities, gather some brown kids and LGBTQ. Go on the View and wag our fingers at the cameras. It'll be fine."

I'd argue the headline, they know exactly how much power they have, just they are not inclined to use it for "reasons" (timing, tradition, suicide pacts, etc)
