Some Dems are already preparing to run for president in 2028. Possible 2028 contenders’ leadership PACs have raised and spent millions of dollars combined this year, new filings show.

A quick look at my comments will tell you where I stand. Getting mad at Democrats for not doing a thing they can't do is silly. The most we can expect of them is to not support anything the Republicans push for. They need to get their heads out of their asses and learn to message effectively.

If they don’t confront income inequality and demand that the wealthy pay their fair share to fund the priorities the majority of Americans support—without ballooning our debt—then they fail to grasp the true root of America’s problems, or they’re not being honest about whose interests they serve.

No, they should strongly avoid the subject because Americans aren't just divided on this, few are just on the fence, and most feel strongly one way or another. Condemning Israel is a recipe for failure as would be celebrating them. Geography determines what they will and will not support. 🤷‍♂️

First we need to secure elections: fight Republican gerrymandering, voter suppression, we need serious money & ground game to register voters and transport elderly and handicapped. Watch for Republicans to purge voter rolls, bar mail-in and overseas ballots as well as overseas military votes.

I think facts will prevail. Once Trumps tariffs kick in prices will skyrocket. And don't forget the saying: "It's the economy stupid". Trump won on the price of eggs.

I agree, time will tell. Thus far the doomsayers predictions have proven false. We can only hope the US economy fares as well for another six months. Unless of course one prefers a Trump failure to economic success.
