31. My guess is that it refers to the fact that prominent Dems ARE saying it, but it gets drowned out.

Off the top of my head, they include AOC, Chris Murphy, Jamie Raskin, Bernie Sanders (I know, but he caucuses with Dems), Maxwell Frost, President Obama, Tim Walz, Chris Van Hollen, Jasmine Crockett and many others.

The problem is that we don't have our own media system amplifying their statements and individuals who have assigned themselves the jobs of doing so easier. Unlike the right-wing media and their followers.

So we hear what Dems say far less often than we hear what Republicans are saying. We are losing the messaging war. We are outgunned by a factor of 1000+.
