In reply to the discussion: Excellent takedown of Velshi's "WTF are the Dems!!11" rant yesterday [View all]mcar

Velshi was wrong to not acknowledge what Democrats have done and are doing. Ariella Elm pointed that out. Instead of debunking her claims (which are true, by the way), you attack the messenger.
If I had a dollar for every DU post that quoted some random person on the internet slamming Democrats as if it were the Gospel truth, I'd be in good shape. But Ariella not only challenges Velshi, she brings receipts to show that he was wrong, and the tenor changes. Who is this woman who dares bring truth??!!11
I live in deep red Florida and our local Democratic clubs have gained many new members since November. They know what we're up against but they're eagerly willing to do the hard work. The No Kings rally here had nearly 1000 people, despite the online threats we were receiving. That's not just heartening, it's proof that we care about our country and are willing to fight for it. Sad that your members aren't.
