Hey Jess, I donated $14,000 to Democrats BEFORE the election. We were supposed to win. We didn’t win shit. I don’t have another $14,000, I went all in 😐

I know. I was shocked that we didn’t hear more from her after she lost. Sure it was tough, but get the hell back up and fight back. She just disappeared. I think more Democrats should be shouting from the rooftops about the criminality of Trump. He only gets away with it because he lies!

I'm so sick of hearing that DEMS abandoned rural America... have you looked at the demographic of rural America lately?? Why would a party want to be part of a group that is book banning, anti-diversity/education/clean energy etc... and we don't see large pushback, so they must like MAGA... thoughts

I live in extremely rural Missouri. I know the demographics. I also know that education is key to progress. However education is NOT high on the list of priorities by our government. Until we change that, we’re pretty screwed no matter who or what is in office 🥺

When I was a Young Democrat, I organized for congresswoman Marilyn Lloyd. We registered and turned a lot of voters for her. Lloyd then voted for Reagan's budget that reduced the top marginal income tax rate from 50% to 38%. That district is solid red now. The party needs to be loyal to the people.
