59% of Americans don't think the Mueller team has found any crimes.

Trump lies daily, hourly and there's not enough pushback on his lies. They include lies about Democrats (such as Dems are responsible for the whole Mueller thing).
Trump is literally eviscerating our government, and few people know. Few people HERE know the extent to which it's being hollowed out.
And so much more.
The Democrats MUST find a way to communicate much more of this to the public, and it'll have to be done via the media. That means they have to get media attention. I don't have any CRITICISM of what Dems have done so far, except that they need to do MORE and LOUDER. They HAVE to get more media attention, so they can educate the public more. They have to. It's not an option if we're to save our democracy.
What I'd like to see is something like a weekly NOISY standard press conference in which Schumer and Pelosi (and any others they may appoint) get before before the microphone, and make enough noise that they get COVERED so it appears in print headlines, online news outlet headlines and especially broadcast media coverage too.
Think of this: how many things does Trump do every damned day that if Obama had done it, the Repubs would be screaming bloody murder, relentlessly and endlessly, to get massive press coverage. I'd like to see just a little of that from our side. It's far more justified than ever on the GOP side, but we do none. It's time to do some.
I'm telling you, it's absolutely necessary that we get more coverage on what's going wrong with this administration. Absolutely necessary.
