Listen well Democrats

[malaise]

Stop the effin fighting and start running ads with the price increases of all goods and services from his inauguration to now.
Get the old newspapers - post the tariffs. Cover the prices of all goods and services.
Let him and his ReTHUG MAGAts chat shit about fake price increases.
Hope this is pellucidly clear.

Post information regarding the increases in health insurance premiums and establish that the health of a country's citizenry is a matter of both national defense and national security, as well as the foundation for a productive and prosperous society.

6. This should have been running non stop during the shutdown

Why is democratic messaging so reactive? It’s not just that it sucks in itself, but it’s always late, defensive, and makes the party looking weak and pathetic

7. Im not sure they have to

Trump keeps going on TV promising money he won't pay, and telling people prices are down when they aren't. He is basically pissing off people. The best part is, his actual base and independents are more likely to listen to him than a Democratic ad. Trump is torching himself. This is such an unforced epic error.

[Tesha]

9. People ask me why I fight

With people on FB, and this is why.

I’m not going to let them go spreading lies, posting hate

[GoodRaisin]

12. Excellent idea.

And every ad we run about the economy should start with showing him lying about lowering prices and end with “Donald Trump and Republicans do not care about your ability to afford anything.”

[malaise]

14. Ding ding

and show all the galas as they fatten themselves

[yellow dahlia]

16. The galas say so much about their arrogance and disregard.

I believe they are flaunting these galas on purpose to show that they have SO much, while they are literally ripping away what little others have and rely on for survival.

These people are deranged and sociopathic and sadistic. I think they believe their cruelty and sadism are actually good qualities.

It’s the economy stupid but also the cruelty and corruption.
Hammer it all home RFN!

35. Malaise, you are spot on!!!!

That's exactly what Democrats should be doing - loud and long and definitely RFN!!!!

[KS Toronado]

22. I believe our messaging should focus on the 99% vs the 1%

The poor and middle class against the super wealthy, why do Rs always give the richest people tax breaks
running up the deficit? Can we ever get that paid off?

Hey magat can you explain how trickle feeds your children or puts money in your bank account?

Remember Occupy Wall street? MSM sure gave them a lot of attention.

And if we're out in the streets proclaiming we're hungry while the super wealthy are demanding larger
tax cuts from our R politicians, how in the hell is MSM gonna spin it to make us look like the bad guys?

FOLLOW THE MONEY !

32. Is it me or does this whole thing feel like a setup?

Fetterman going on Fox, the calls to take down Schumer. I feel like this whole shutdown was a hit job and it worked. Just like when the calls for Biden to step down after that debate happened.

[CommonHumanity]

34. ten million times yes++++

Let's not waste energy demanding Schumer leave. There's lots of reasons why. Explained well by Heather Cox Richardson in her 11/11/25 post. Let's reminder it's a 4 alarm fire and where the penultimate lies.

[GiqueCee]

39. I've suggested in the past...

... that, since M$M is so reluctant to present the Democratic side of any critical issue, the Democrats would get their message across to those who need to see it by making better use of billboards. Short, concise messaging in BIG letters that even semi-literate MAGAts can read as they roar past, their truck nuts swaying from the trailer hitch.

[malaise]

40. Great idea

Rec

[mcar]

53. In our red FL county

our local Democratic Party has a hard time getting billboard owners to rent to us.

[GiqueCee]

57. That IS a problem...

... perhaps individuals or small groups could sponsor the billboards. Without the Democratic Party's name attached to it, you might be able to sneak the message past censorious billboard owners.
Here in Vermont, billboards are illegal, so I haven't had much interaction with billboard owners on behalf of clients. There's gotta be a legal work-around, but free speech is only for Republicans in Rhonda Sepsis's Florida, I guess.

[mcar]

59. That is what we did in '24

[Demsrule86]

41. Still feel that way when we learn this morning

that the GOP have reneged on all promises including SNAP and added a threat to abortion? We increased our voters in the last election by working hard and Earning voters trust. Our party is not popular you know in polls.

Why would new voters
trust us to fight for them? Schumer and his eight have caused irreversible damage and lost the ACA.We got nothing. I don’t know if we ever get healthcare back. It was fucking hard the first time.

Thus I say primaries for those who betrayed us and yes I do know these folks were chosen because they had less to lose. But I have a long memory and zero tolerance for this sort of thing. We were played. And there is no excuse worthy of consideration. I will always vote Democratic but time for a change.

I heard around that this was the plan… to sacrifice the ACA for better midterm results. I hope that is not true.The cynicism of that view and the stupidity in thinking it would work is mind blowing. In any case, we need new leaders.

[malaise]

42. THIS

I hope that is not true.The cynicism of that view and the stupidity in thinking it would work is mind blowing.

[Sogo]

49. The eight Democrats DID NOT lose ACA

because the Rs were just going to run out the clock on it. The Dems have at least gotten them to agree to hold a vote on it.
Whether or not the Rs follow through with that agreement or ef it up with more abortion restrictions, it is not the Democrats' fault!! There will either be a difficult vote or the time was just going to run out on it, both are the Rs' doing. Please take a moment to try and understand that.

[Demsrule86]

55. Oh you didn't hear. They reneged on the deal.

It only happens if we weaken abortion laws. So the ACA is done. And knowing how hard fought it was to get any health plan. I find accepting the GOP LIARS word was just plain wrong and stupid.

[Sogo]

58. It had a better chance of getting an agreement than doing nothing....Again, the Democrats are not the ones

making the ACA go away. The Rs were NOT (as in NEVER) going to do anything before the impending deadline of 12/15 when enrollment ends and the rates are locked in. How can you say the Democrats have anything to do with that, whether they held out or not?

[Demsrule86]

60. No it didn't. The only way we could win was

to have an agreement that would stand up in court. And I am sorry but I can’t believe the leaders didn’t know too. Why would they make and agreement with known liars that was not ironclad?

Hell the GOP stabbed their own people in the back with some hidden $500,000 payment. This could cause them to lose the primary or even the election thus ending their career. The question is why our leaders basically stabbed us in the back? Would they do It again? Some already have, and I think the eight plus Schumer would do again. I want to know why?!

Time for new leadership. Thus, Primary time for any who are not already leaving. Notice that only those who could take a hit were chosen for this dangerous mission? And hell if I know why Fetterman did this. He was with the GOP from the beginning. He has certainly done this before.

45. Let's not forget about shrinkflation

Which had been going on for some time.

But now, just about every frozen veggie bag I can spot went from 16 ounce bags to 12.

And cans shrank from 19 ounces.

And some cheese blocks went from 8 ounces to 7.

47. THIS

Remind everyone - start the ads
Show the bags and their weight. Hammer it home.

46. "The R and R Republicans went on vacation

54. Talked to my 23 year old son today......

He's getting a little political these days. I asked him what the Dems need to do to gain their support. He said we need younger people like Obama was. He had a lot of good things to say about Obama. Then he said it's all about the economy. People vote according to their pocket books. Housing will always be an issue and the mortgage industry needs a takedown. Not lip service. I agree with him on everything.

[flying-skeleton]

56. What is pellucidly clear is that.....

There are 8 fake liberals (aka traitors) in the Senate.
