Again, I’ve watched politics for a long time, and people don’t even pay attention until months before an election. If he held news conferences every day people would lose interest and tune out when it matters most. We had 60,000 in SD for a march w/o a single leader. It’s the people not politicians

No. Hard disagree. And yeah, I’ve watched politics for a long time too. They’re not this unpopular because people like Trump’s policies. It’s because they’re not fighting.

Actually, Trump got the most young people voting Republican in the last 40 years. Unfortunately, many like what that fascist is selling.

Energy used to trash Trump & fascists saves us to fight another day. Energy used to trash Dems will result (as in '16 & '24) in our surrender to fascism for at least a generation. We need a 1932 & '36-style coalition across borders, demographics & single issues. Only ONE Party can save us. AGAIN.

Ummm, okay, BUT… HJ is not actually using any energy to fight Trump & fascists. He calls what they’re doing a “distraction.” They are literally trying to strongarm cities with armed military, and HJ can’t be arsed to respond appropriately, which is why Dems are unpopular bc their leadership sucks.

If Dems want “energy” they need to stop cosplaying as the *aDuLtS In ThE rOoM* and “4 dimensional chess players” and own their own fecklessness, shitty candidates, and poor judgement. They’ll get energy and votes when they earn them, full stop. Grow TF up, cultist.
