While lie after lie after lie is spread about radical left wing terrorists
Which, by the way DO NOT EXIST
Who is calling out the lies on the big stage?
As far as I can tell, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
Joe needs to take care of Joe.
And sincere best wishes for his health.
Expect zero from most media.
Party and dignitaries with clout are not standing up to this false and illegal barrage of direct threats
illegal under accepted interpretation of the first amendment.
And the Democratic party leadership?
NADA, ZILCH, ZIP, NIL, BUPKIS, RIEN
Youre as useless as bowling shoes at an ice rink.

And women and others.
Dont wait for divine intervention. It aint happening.
So-called leaders.
Read this and get off your lame asses.
AND CALL OUT THE LIES FORCEFULLY AND REPEATEDLY
Or we all lose ours.

So many missed opportunities!
Are the consultants and strategists telling them to "play nice"?

And no communication in between.
An open letter to Democratic leaders. This is our Normandy. Marshall all our forces or lose to fascist rule.

I have never seen a party so discombobulated between elections, and it's only our lives that are at stake.

(3,046 posts)Some of the Dems in Congress are good at messaging, and correcting the record.
But I sometimes wonder if leadership is setting a tone that holds some of them back.

(92,642 posts)There are many liberals on social media that are pointing out the truth.
Charlie Kirk was not an elected official. There are many others like him that are more influential than Republcans in elected office.
This is something people here still can't get.

Sample collage I cooked up a while back.
