Michelle Obama was wrong on this one; when they go low, we go high just doesn’t cut it.

For too long Dems have followed the old GB Shaw saying, “Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.” But recently I’ve wondered does the pig REALLY like it? I think being chased and caught by a human is actually terrifying to your average pig. So do it.

But it is also an insult to pigs which are very clever to call a Republican a pig. 😁

Leadership Dems (*cough*Schumer*cough*) need to give up the notion of Senate/House congeniality. We can’t break democracy to save it, but holding our 🔥 to “play nice” is a quick road to oblivion & autocracy.

Beating Trump doesn’t stop on November 2028. Democrats have to be willing to then go all the way I prosecuting AND executing everyone who committed treason and sedition during this time period. This includes state government republicans who aided these treasonous act.

Taking the high ground never worked. You can't educate people who are fed propaganda 24/7. FOX would be illegal in most countries.

It would also be very helpful if mainstream media was a lot more vocal on things like the #EPSTEINFILES and a lot less willing to sing along to the WH talking points playlist. 😡

When faced with a dictator, Dems grow balls and get it done in NY, CA, IL, etc or we face complete destruction. Stop kissing his orange ass -- he got 49% and is even lower now! Wake up, do what is needed NOW. Don't wait on what GOP does in TX!

Please Democrats, go ahead and do it. 79 years old and I have fought against this concept for years, but they have become absolutely ridiculous over the last 50 years. It has insidiously creeped in. Get down and dirty for the good of the country.

We can do both. Bury them by actually proposing and delivering on big, bold policy. With this Supreme Court, I can imagine every progressive bill being struck down so, that may call for something a little more drastic

Democrats playing gutter politics with Trump is a losing strategy, it’s fighting on his turf with his rules. The real blueprint is Zohran Mamdani: unapologetic class politics, bold structural demands, and a refusal to play by the right’s rules.

Well yes, but they do really need to stop with their feeble polite decorum nonsense when their enemies are literally dismantling democracy around them. Stop bringing a sternly worded letter to a gun- or knife-fight. They need to provide real alternatives like Mamdani but they also need to FIGHT.

Note "enemies", not "opponents". These are not "your Republican friends" or "colleagues". Forget "reaching across the aisle" and fucking destroy these fascist motherfuckers with all means available.
