I mean saying that trans people’s lives are worth protecting, that racially motivated mass forced migration is bad, and that DOGE is committing federal crimes all seem like layups
But that requires actually believing in those things and not debating how much fundraising you can do off them.

Why the fuck would I vote for these people who - never mind actually doing anything - can’t articulate how they believe what’s happening is even bad or what they want to stand for in the face of this.
The Senate can block things, but there are at least ten Democratic senators that have sold out. I haven't bothered with the House, there are probably a number there too.
They need to message on healthcare for all, free tuition, ending stock ownership by politicians, taxing billionaires into oblivion, etc. They need to message on solutions.
But also, right now is not the time to suggest singlepayer healthcare, it's time to stop Musk/Trump.
Like, "We've tried nothing, we're all out of ideas, and the only thing left to do is wait two, *maybe* four years and in the mean time it's open season on people and institutions" is not an acceptable response.
