Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal @jayapal.house.gov

We cannot just be an opposition party, but must also be a proposition party — to show the American people what we will fight for. Addressing the affordability crisis. Ending corruption. Creating a fair tax system. That’s what Americans deserve.

The current political system is ruined. Stop playing by those old rules. Yes, you have to have vision, but you also need to use the same language as the ones you’re fighting. History has proven that time and time again. There moments for talking moments for real resistance. The latter has come.

none of this presents a "clear vision," just vague "we'll make it better" talking points that everyone is sick of. "pay their fair share" ok who and how much and what will be done with that funding?

"end corruption" ok what does that even mean, you can't even say "overturn citizens united," say you will throw every j6er in prison, say you will flush climate science funding and support a rapid decarbonization of the global economy... ah who am i kidding, they're democrats

Now tell us how you plan on making that happen. The people of our nation know what they need. They know what they want from their politicians. These sort of simple statements are meaningless without a plan. Exactly HOW will you address any and all crisis'? Voters want to see the details.

How is it possible for an entire political party to be this fucking politically incompetent? I’m really torn between whether this is incompetence or complicity. Really. Really. Torn.

I liked this congresswoman when she simply spoke from her experience and spoke the truth. While none of these talking points are bad, it’s clear she is repeating what pollsters told her to say. It sounds disingenuous. Stop listening to democratic pollsters and strategists. They will get it wrong.

Opposition, obstruction and the complete annihilation of MAGA first, then the proposition party. They could give a fuck about dems propose. We need to go for the very throat of the MAGA movement. When will dems realize this??? This is more the same wet noodle shit.

Just say it, “tax the rich.” “Fair tax system” is just a way to try to placate your donors and act like you’re actually helping the rest of us.

It isn’t just about rich individuals: we also need to massively increase corporate taxes, especially on corporations that replace workers with robots

We need a plan to address how the Supreme Court has weakened laws of Congress against government corruption and ruled that it is against the Constitution to limit corporate contributions to PACs. One person, Musk, donated a quarter of a billion dollars to Trump. SCOTUS has undermined our democracy.

Rep. Jayapal, Respectfully, "That’s what Americans deserve." Empirically Americans deserve what they have the goodwill, intelligence and sanity to enable. To wit, currently a sufficient majority of them deserve exactly what they (and all of us) are getting now. Knowingly, they caused this to be.
