“Voters want someone who will lower costs, fight corruption, and make the rich play by the rules.”

LET’S TAKE IT TO THEM.

This is precisely why you see the level of voter suppression that there is in Texas alongside with various lobbying groups such as AIPAC, Fossil Fuels, and etc interfering with Democratic primaries. These bastards aren't gonna stop until they make the country permissible enough to accept a fascist regime. Voter suppression is precisely their tool to get elected because they know they cant win through popular policies. They either win by rigging the game or by taking advantage of democratic incompetence which is running rampant as hell. Our new yorker governor finally took the time to finally endorse Zohran Mamdani but we still have Schumer and Jeffries not endorsing Zohran Mamdani.

Channel 4 Marking Donald Trump’s Visit To UK With “Longest Uninterrupted Reel Of Untruths Ever Broadcast On Television”

should be fun

That's what we're up against: State Media. A huge $$$ propaganda machine. Luckily, independent media is fighting back. Their efforts have produced rising engagements reaching both a broader and niche audience. But we desperately need ALL of our Dem leaders to wake the f up, grow some balls, and follow Gov Newsom's lead.

Well said. You have mentioned,”Offer a public option that people can choose. 73% support.” May I know what is the public option about?

You have also mentioned the need for Supreme Court level ethics for all public officials. Well, the Supreme Court has very lax ethics rules. It allows Clarence Thomas and Alito to accept expensive gifts from billionaires, who are potential clients. Federal judges have a much higher standard of ethics rules, which should apply on Supreme Court and perhaps other public officials. Thoughts?

lol I didn’t finish, it meant to be about a public option for Medicaid.

Interesting that women's reproductive rights don't even make the list when it was such a focal point for democratic messaging in the last two Texas elections.

I think bc we're literally in "survival mode." The polls Michelle has provided give an important glimpse into what voters care about TODAY. So Dems across the board should be duplicating Casars message(s). I still rage about the decision against Roe. It has done exactly what we were warning. And worse. We MUST win in 2026. That's why Trump, with the giddily help from TX Repubs, are openly rigging the Election. Dem Govs need to copy Gavin Newsom's play book...or the election is doomed. That's where we're at as a nation, now. Very fucking bleak.

I wished I could have heard Rep. Greg Casar’s speech.

I hope we have a few great Democratic Party people to vote for. 🙏🏼
