Dems are losing their mojo again [View all]

I am starting to feel the way I felt immediately after the election. There was a complete vacuum of leadership and a lot of efforts to get along with trump. I was angry, but tried to be constructive.

For the past few months, though, I have felt more hopeful. Of course this administration continued to be appalling, but it seemed that Dems in leadership and even some of the corporate media were catching on....FINALLY. So I applauded all efforts, even while some here scoffed at them as not enough. AT LEAST THEY WERE TRYING.

Well, the media is done pretending to be fair and is covering Biden's health as a huge scandal, egged on and led by Jake Tapper. They continue to let trump lie with impunity. And the Dems?

Why can't they message worth #@@** when they have all the material in the world? Why can't they turn ridiculous questions about Biden's non- existent health cover up back to trump trying to take their healthcare away? And all to fund tax cuts for billionaires like Musk, who is extremely unpopular? Why are many of them going along with the bash Biden fake scandal?

I feel we are back to square one. The Dems had the American people on their side when they spoke out and stood up. That is too difficult and costly a lesson to keep learning over and over again!
