I think every democratic member of congress needs to start posting weekly updates with a list of five things they did to push back on this administration or face a primary.

Robert Garcia, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Stephen Lynch, Raja Krishnamoorthi, and Ro Khanna are doing good work on the over site committee in the house. Forcing Comer to dig further and further into Epstein. Jeffries is Milk Toast AF, but he has held the caucus together voting in unison against Trump.

For example, I read a substack article about Dem leaders nationwide talking daily by zoom on what to do in anticipation of Trump's expected actions. They were pre-writing lawsuits. They were promoting pre-emptive legislation. The DNC is giving tons of money to states to run people in every race

everywhere and members of Congress are DNC members. Congressional members testify at hearings and their testimony is often humiliating to Trump appointees and great messaging (when the media covers it). Many Congresspeople are leading local organizing in their home states. The "Dems don't do

I agree with your statement except for "or face a primary" because that implies that they aren't doing the five things. They are, but the media isn't covering them. Many acts are background such as filing a lawsuit. I think most of them would have no trouble listing more than five things daily.

Exactly. When trump is destroying huge fundamental parts of the gov... it eats up the entite media focus. So people have no clue what dems are doing, which is pretty limited due to minorities.

Maybe you're doing a bad job of paying attention. 🙄 Or maybe you're just a bad person who would rather trash-talk the only people who are trying to help us, instead of doing anything to criticize the actual fascists in the majority party who are actively hurting people.

May I ask how calling him a "bad person" who would rather "trash talk" is actually going to answer his question? Seriously, I'd like to understand your reaction. While I'm lucky in my senators...some in democratic leadership do not meet the requirements for this moment & these circumstances.

Primaries produce better candidates and campaigns. When candidates are coronated they become complacent and out of touch. They often lose winnable general elections.

The purpose of a primary isn’t to remove the incumbent. It’s to force the dialog to issues of importance. And right now, all I’m seeing from Colorado democrats (other than Jason Crow and Joe Neguse) is “business as usual”
