Gov. Pritzker gets it. Hopefully all democrats will get it and start raising the alarm. It isnt people on this forum we need to reach. Its people who only get corporate news, and we need democratic leaders to all speak as Gov. Pritzker is speaking to get the corporate media to cover it. ALL democrats.
I continue to be astounded that a disabled American veteran can be disappeared for three and a half days and every democratic member of the house and senate did not raise holy hell.
Right now Democratic voters are being legally removed from voting rolls. Our institutions that we rely upon for safety, security, and education are being destroyed. Right now we need all democratic representatives to follow Gov. Pritzkers example and pound the table about how we are well down the path of fascism. Its time for blue states to start voter caging and gerrymandering.
We have so many excellent representatives on our side. Hopefully they can speak with a unified message.

Election judge Tim OHare is a partisan hack who was a Republican chairman before winning his seat.

Mr.WeRP
(1,098 posts)He does get it where many dont. We need the blue state governors to move to counter this gerrymandering bullshit. We can gain more than 20 seats if we play the same game.

(43,003 posts)Time to knock off this outrage de jour by DEFAULTING to blaming Democrats -- because the party IS united in its messaging. The lawlessness is limitless, and THUS, just because we prioritize a few examples that will hurt the country, doesn't mean the party is not united in a pro-We The People message.
We cannot and must not demand that Democrats hold another town hall every single time this administration and its red state henchmen commit another lawless act.
Pritzker and Newsom are our party's two most vocal governors, and we're glad when they are covered AS SUCH by corporate media. Just because corporate media cover this billionaire governor's press announcements, doesn't mean Democrats need to copy his example and "pound the table." Governors get attention. When Dems say the same thing Pritzker says but don't get corporate media attention, it's because those Democrats are not governors, and not because they're saying something different.
Right now Democratic voters are being legally removed from voting rolls. Our institutions that we rely upon for safety, security, and education are being destroyed. Right now we need all democratic representatives to follow Gov. Pritzkers example and pound the table about how we are well down the path of fascism.
Note the highlight -- also note that the latest SCOTUS RULING has corruptly ruled that state gerrymandering is okay. Moreover, it's ridiculous to imply that we're doing nothing by not voting over the TX gerrymandering; what Dems ARE doing by leaving the state IS doing something. Otherwise we have no control over red state legislature gerrymandering when we stay in session in obedience to some vote suppressing red state governor.

(2,003 posts)DNC speech in the last election cycle to directly insult Trump and call him stupid. Which is about the kindest thing you can say about him, sure, but unfortunately too many Dems still won't even go that far and insist on normalizing this Republican Party.
He has strong principles, but at the same time, he's more than willing to get in the ring and attack Republicans in the same personal ways they attack Dems. Something these fuckers are NOT used to and never will be.
