In reply to the discussion: For those not afraid to read Thom Hartmann -- this is really good. [View all]PatrickforB
(14,600 posts)34. Hartmann, as usual, makes some incisive points. HOW will we address a political
party that has been treasonous since '68, and which is now willing to end the republic for good and replace it with a dictatorship?
I think it has to do with aggressive, ugly and in-your-face messaging from EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR OFFICE.
We need to be pounding on Republicans making women second class citizens, with LGBTQ people next, birth control and God knows what.
We need to pound on corporate price gouging and getting billionaires and corporations to PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES.
We need to pound on Medicare for all Americans, and expanding Social Security.
We need to pound on relieving student debt now, and on providing our kids and grandkids with an affordable debt-free postsecondary education.
