Oh? Were you caucusing on day 1 with the Democrats? Hind sight is such a thing to make an accusation on, isn't it? You know as much as the rest of us do and what was planned - by the way, have you missed all the states attorneys generals going to court day after day and filing case after case because that's what you do when you are blocked in Congress. You take it to court. Did you miss that? The Democrats knew what Musk was doing, too bad you weren't aware of it. Watching Fox? Reading Breitbart? Catching up with Truth Social?Why are you sowing the kind of doubt that MAGAts love? I feel like I just read the kind of comments I would expect from someone who isn't quite up to speed on what is really being accomplished.

The Dems gave had 10 years to come up with something to fight MAGA so this isn't hindsight, it's asking why they're still doing nothing.

MESSAGING Is EVERYTHING, every single day the entire party should be loud and making noise, trust me if they do it enough people wake up.

That's very snarky of you. This is the kind of comment that creates tension. Why don't we try to find solutions instead of attacking?

No, accurate. I'm not attacking, I'm sick and tired of this nonsense. Remember Joe Biden? Yeah, him. The one who put the country right again in four (4) years. The one who brought killed inflation and did more public works projects hiring more people than back to the time of Bill Clinton. What causes tension is the rubbish about we had all this time to "fix" it. We did fix it. Amnesia running rampant. We all heard what the convicted felon kept saying. And you know what the response was? "Oh, that's just him. He won't do it." I'm not attacking except to say if y'all want to form a circular firing squad to prove the MAGAts right? Be my guest, but I'll continue to tell people to stop mewling about how bad the Dems are.......lowered medical costs, reduced student loan debt, repaired roads and bridges yup, the man did nothing - and debated a bit of scum while negotiating the release of hostages and with the flu. Oh, right, the Democrats were lazing about - no, they were governing.

Again I hear you. I am a Democrat. I vote Democrat and donate democrat. We are all angry and it is good to get the anger out so it doesn't eat us up. AND the Democratic party is not perfect and has not been up to fighting the aberration that is Trump. We can't fight him unless we improve and identifying areas of improvement is part of the resistance.

I hear you. You don't know me from Adam. But I am not MAGA. I am fully informed and long ago realized I needed to pay for and support actual news because corporate owned news agencies tell you what the owners/board want you to hear.

My venting was a moment of frustration that the American people do not have a clear path to fight Trump. I did not know the outcome of the election beforehand. But I certainly expected that the people whose job it was to plan for the contingencies of elections, and who had at their disposal all the resources and brain power of the Democratic party would have considered the possibility of his winning and had a game plan. A plan that at the minimum would have given hope that there was something to be done and which would have avoided the despair so many Americans now feel- and could have instead immediately united them.

First back at you. Fellow resister? Resisting what? Playing the MAGA game of always, always whining about the "libs"? Did you volunteer and contribute in the last election? What are you doing now? Calling your representatives? Checking see if your state's attorney general is doing all that can be done to stop Musk? I don't sound like MAGA, I sound like a person who sick to death of reading all these bloody bar stool political analysts with their warmed over MAGA lite comments. Knock if off? When moaners and groaner find their cajoñes and stop sounding like the opposition. It was appropriate, necessary, and I don't need a welcome mat. No one appointed you Den Mother.

". . . find their cajoñes"? If you're going for the ethnic look, please at least use Google translate so you don't get it wrong. The word is COJONES. Sticking a tilde in a misspelled word doesn't make it Spanish.
