Congressional Democrats plan red district tours for August recessDemocrats are in serious trouble if they can’t tap into what Americans are actually living through right now. Jobs data, inflation, housing costs, Trump’s tariffs acting like an extra tax, Republicans are actively making life harder while claiming the opposite, and somehow Democrats still can’t capitalize.
Their entire political machine should be at full steam, hammering away every single day at what this means for people’s lives. What we got right now? Newsom? Nigga place. The message should be simple ‘We’re all feeling it. Businesses are getting squeezed by Trump’s tariffs, while the rest of us are stuck in a declining job market and high costs of living where it takes three or more incomes to survive.’ That’s where the fight is, and if Democrats don’t own it, they’ll lose it. Again.
Only thing I hear the most right now is..... Drum roll...
The fucking Epstein files.
I agree with you. Forget Epstein. But what do you mean about Newsome? He's fighting. He's fighting against the tarriffs; vote rigging, economic issues, housing, ice, inflation, and etc. He's one of the few dems that is fighting. But yea, the dems are done if they can't articulate a winning economic message.
Sorry, you are wrong. Many Dems are taking that exact fight nationwide.
That's quite a generous usage of the word "occasional" there, my friend.
Hey, they (YOU) elected trump after he killed almost a million Americans by bungling the COVID response, lying about it for his own greedy purposes, and had a resume full of rape and fraud CONVICTIONS.
Kid Rock.
Theres talent in the Dem party, they just don't recognize it, or when they do, they fail to take advantage of it.
Certainly part of it but solid policies are going to matter more.

I think I’m not getting my point across: yes, Democrats are doing grassroots outreach, but many of their most recognizable voices online is dominated by reactive, meme-driven bickering instead of steady, issue-focused messaging. I get why, given what they’re responding to, but It doesn’t matter who’s right; to me it feels like politicians yelling past each other while my bills keep piling up. It’s like firefighters arguing over who started the blaze while my house is burning, I don't want a damn spat, I want someone putting water on the damn fire. I already know who started the fire and the folks who don't and don't care aren't going to be convinced VIA bickering anyway.
It’s not that Democrats aren’t trying, but they need far better control of their messaging. Republicans are practically handing them a win with the circus they’re running across every market, yet Democrats still struggle to capitalize. How in the hell is it that their approval ratings aren't so hot and that the top contender is MF Newsom. Newsom? Come on mang!
I would think this would make you happy since according to you Newsom can't do anything right.
this is part of the problem with this country’s politics. Policy is a function of the Legislative not the Executive. We put too much power in the Executive.
Yes, that's what I said. If you had been pressing a lawsuit then your claim that the current state of the law is what matters would be correct. But as the topic at hand is the correctness of your claim about the purpose of property law, ancient history matters. Your claim is anachronistic. The legal provisions that prevent Indians from undoing 18th- and 19th-century landgrabs were introduced into the law centuries before those landgrabs happened.
Good question. It gets into the whole nature-vs-nurture debate. Were your parents prone to vituperative rhetoric?
Your claim does not hold water, though. What provisions are you even referring to? Not those which I referenced. And why would, say, the Modoc Nation, feel compelled to follow European law no matter how ancient it was?
Yes. Let's not actually run someone who might actually be able to win....Democrats are in serious trouble if they can’t tap into what Americans are actually living through right now.

I agree with all this. By all rights, the GOP should be anathema by now, but somehow they're still going strong.
Opposition to Trump's use of military, e.g. his take-over of DC police, is an issue that many voters would get behind. Let's scream about such overt fascism. Keep pointing out how out-of-touch Trump and his cronies are. Let's MINIMIZE mention of divisive issues like DEI -- we can focus on improving democracy after we've salvaged what little still remains of it.
I know little about Newsom but lately he's almost presenting as a clown, playing to out-Trump Trump! Maybe we need such a foil, but do NOT make him the Democrats' standard-bearer.
