Well, not to mention the corrupt taking over media to create state control.
But Dems have to do better to get their faces in front of the media. They, as much as anyone, by not treating this regime as a constant constitutional emergency, have normalized the corruption. The public needs to be outraged. The Dems need to lead.
Absolutely.
If you have reps who are Dems and you're frustrated with inaction, call them and tell them you will support any primary challenger who promises to do what they're too afraid to do - push back HARD.
I have told my Dem reps this. Many times. They should be afraid to lose their seats unless they do something.
And if they do stand up (ex: Elissa Slotkin) - call their office and praise them. Make them know we're watching them.
Agreed. But where is the will of Dems in Congress to push back against the lawlessness? What are they DOING to work back towards rules-based order?
I am not the only person frustrated that Dems get patted on the back for the minimum - the strongly worded letter. Tell us what they can do to push back - even in the minority. They can hold hearings. They can be a constant media presence to explain the lawlessness. They can do more than complain.
Playing by the rules has us here. Writing strongly-worded statements has us here. We're getting nowhere by adhering to norms and laws.
The moral high ground isn't a bragging point when schoolchildren are being murdered.
We absolutely need to elect a Dem majority. But we need Dems who aren't afraid of their shadows. Dems who will do more than issue a strongly-worded statement. Dems who actually WORK FOR THE PEOPLE. I don't see that in the current Dems in office.

I'm so sorry. I had to do the same with my dear Clifford a few years ago. The meds just weren't effective anymore and I had to make that awful decision.
You're doing the right thing. In time your pain will soften (it never fully leaves) and you will remember the good years. You will always have him in your heart. Peace to you.
I post that or a version of it every day that it is true. So far, unfortunately, that's every day.
