Showing Original Post only (View all)Why is Tom Steyer doing what Democratic lawmakers should be doing? [View all]
Where is the chorus of outrage by Democratic lawmakers over the tax plan? I keep seeing Tom Steyer ads, but I have not seen one single Democratic ad. I have not heard much outrage. I am not seeing a strategy for communication to the American people about the tax bill.
A new poll shows a third of the population support it. Are you kidding me? That figure should be in single digits. This tax scam is the antithesis of Democratic values. It takes from the poor, the sick and the vulnerable and it gives to the rich, and it is driven by somebody who boasts that his multiple bankruptcies are a good thing. If Democratic lawmakers can't get their messaging out over this, when can they?

They're still playing the same game. They're still playing at politics when much more is at stake.

Democrats can't find the money to run a campaign on the same scale as Tom Steyer?

By "doing" you mean "advocating a meaningless symbolic vote to make liberals feel good"?
