6. Losing in red districts in Florida was a defeat but not a loss.

Apr 2

Democrats lost in districts where Magats were winning by 35 points, they only won this time by 14 and 15 points.

Musk spent at least 23 million dollars in Wisconsin and lost.

Democrats won special elections in Pa. and NY, the tide is turning.

What Democrats need to do is get out and meet with the people and listen to them and let them know what Musk/Trump are doing to them.

Democratic leadership needs to organize every damn Congressional Democrat to do town halls. It should not be left to Bernie, AOC, and a handful of other Democrats to do town halls.

My first suggestion is to Chuck Schumer, one of the Timid 10 who voted for the CR. If you really believe that voting for the CR gave us more time to defeat Musk/Trump then I want to see it from you and the other Timid 10 members by getting out and doing town halls. Just curious about how many members of the Timid 10 have done town halls?

It is up to us to save ourselves. The people are ready, are Congressional Democrats? I would love to have a Democrat do a town hall within 50 miles of me seeing as I live in Magat country. I will show up, I will donate to whoever does the town hall, I will participate.

In the meantime I am donating to Indivisible.
