46. This don't fight back has been going on since 2000

Feb 3

when the dem party leadership abandoned Al Gore and let W get away with stealing the 2000 Presidential election. Then in 2024, a mostly white, anglo male cabal of dems ran the same 2000 anti democracy playbook against Biden. We the people are fed up with our votes being thrown out. The disenfranchisement that happened in 2000 and again in 2024 has caused millions of Americans to give up on democracy. While the tRump/maga/gop keep bringing AK-47s to the fight, the don't fight back dems keep bringing slingshots to the fight. We've been in an all out battle to save American democracy for 25 years and all we get from the clueless dem leadership is more cowardice. Pro democracy forces couldn't have a worse ally than the don't fight back dem leadership.
I'm sorry this is such a tough post but we're in a battle against an all out attack against the democratic principles our country was founded on and that every previous generation of Americans fought and died for. We need to hold our dem party leaders accountable for their failure to act. Now is not the time to be "nice" to our dem party leadership. We the people expect action and results and we're not getting it from the current dem party leadership.
