The #1 predictor of our demise? Dem voters who think yelling at Republicans gets results. The real power is in hammering OUR leaders with unrelenting pressure. That’s where change happens...or it doesn’t happen at all.

Consistent grassroots mobilization, targeted lobbying, &public accountability are key. Leaders won’t act if they’re pussies afraid of pressure. Leveraging media, social platforms, &direct constituent contact keeps them responsive. Building coalitions &persistent, clear demands force real change.
