When will we FOCUS and get talking points that click and stick?

We're incensed, not shocked, angry, not surprised. Another killing of our children, more pushing to take a woman's right to choose away, GQP refusing to vote on background checks. And I ask you: What are our hot word points? Not long speeches, talking points.

They have: "The Radical Left. They want to take your guns away. They want to defund the police. CRT is bad for our kids..."

What the F do we have? We have bla bla bla. Nothing strong, focused, repeatable and headline grabbing.

Rant over...and we will lose in 22 & 24 if we don't get our shit together.

every day leading up to the midterms. We need to keep it in the news, even if the media doesn't assist. We need to be the news with LOUD voices and HUGE numbers, non-stop.

call it “another Republican shooting”? Unlike their talking points, it’s true, and it’s repeatable.

Variations: Vote out the child killers. Vote out the woman haters.

Say no to forced birth. Say no to American massacres.

With a gun...the weapon of mass destruction.

Who's gonna save America, when first responders are even afraid to help.

The 99% movement scared the crap out of them.

Accuse them of exactly what they accuse Democrats of. All of it.

Also:

Republicans want you to die.
Republicans will destroy the country one school at a time.
Republicans hate the Military and Law Enforcement.
