Clyburn and Carville?

[LilElf70]

Why is it that these two are the only ones stepping up for the Democrats? That is, other than Bernie and AOC.

And Clyburn and Carville are nowhere near as prominent as Bernie and AOC? All they do is blurt out to MSM. So, where are all the good guys? Where is all the support? Where's the rallys(other than the Oligarchy tour)? How are we going to fix the Democratic party. How are we going to win in 2026? 2028? One would think by looking at the past, that change would have started on Jan 22 this year. I see very little.

It just seems to me, that a lot of people are giving up. Where is the leadership? That's the route most will follow, including me. We need leadership NOW!!!!

1. What is the "Democrat party"?

2. How about all the Dems doing town halls in

purple and red districts because the R's have been told not to do them. There are plenty of Dems speaking up.

12. Greg Cesar, Tim Walz, Clayton, Beto O'Rourke, Chris Murphy, Frost.

A bunch of them. It’s just not getting media coverage. They are doing town halls in Dem and Rep districts.

14. Thanks for the names. I have been seeing

short takes from many of these town halls, mostly on Rachel M., but other places as well.

3. So Clyburn went to MSM today

complaining the issue is MSM. Go figure.

How are we to respond to this?

6. Also "we don't have the votes..." In which case, I find myself asking (as so many have) "what would Mitch McConnell do?"

This was the kind of the thing, Pam Keith, I think it was, was talking about on the Dean Obeidallah Show (April 16).

She was pretty well livid about our elected officials essentially making excuses and telling the rest of us we need to be out in the streets (I went to my community's Hands Off today, btw).
She also pointed out how the Rs were in lockstep and absolutely unified -- something I thought about during the faux SOTU; how they all clapped together like trained seals.

Yes, I do recall Clyburn saying he was doing town halls, etc., but I really didn't like the emphasis being placed on "we don't have the votes" and "but the media..."

13. IT IS. Only MSNBC is on our side. Most popular is Fox, Joe Rogan.

This is how the Republicans took over and Now MAGAT’s.

4. I think you forgot all the Hands Off Rallies just a couple of weeks ago

and Chris Van Hollen's courageous trip this week. I'm sure you just forgot.

5. I agree it did get some greatly needed attention.

But we need more. We need a movement, with verifiable action. I guess I'm disappointed because I expected more. The red flags are everywhere. This country is going downhill big time, and we need more. Not just to stop Trump, but to start a coalition to WIN.

7. What about Cory Booker?

Or does he not count. But in reality a lot of democrats are stepping up and speaking out at the local level. They are just not getting any attention from the corporate media.

[LilElf70]

8. Corey is a great choice

Especially since he did his 26 hour stance. That was amazing. Not many could do what he did. That was weeks ago, and I haven't heard anything from him since then. I don't know what we're waiting for. Now is the time to act.

9. This again?

[LilElf70]

10. That's gotta hurt.

11. Here's an idea:

Why don't you start this "movement" yourself? What's stopping you?

15. Adam Schiff

Jamie Raskin and several others.....
