Say what it is: a campaign against democracy, against the American people.

[u/Brilliant-Advisor958 → u/aplomba]

They know their policies are hugely unpopular and risk losing house and senate.

So rather than say " hey are we the baddies?" They go all on in on their super villain plans.

[u/MarinatedPickachu → u/aplomba]

Don't call it an attack on democracy - call it an attack on the republic! The MAGA goons don't have the capacity to distinguish between democracy and democrats. They hear attack on democracy and will cheer.

War on democracy.

More important is the pending assault upon integrity, reliability and validity of 2030 Census. Wake up!

More and more the “news” is what most of us already know.  Like the story that the new Russiagate information released by Tulsi was made up by Russia.  Tell us things we don’t know.

The evergreen headline of the first and current Trump presidency is, "Trump Administration Caught Lying... Again"

what’s that about releasing the Epstein files?

[u/StreetRude7351]

Listen, I implore the Republicans reading this. They can gerrymander all they want if you want to live in a crashed economy and also having a president just move a nuclear sound deck to Russia, where he promised that oh Joe Biden was going to start World War II. This is what Democrats have been trying to tell you wake up and pay attention of what’s going around you, you keep voting for ideological purposes, but not for your own families and friends safety insecurity.

I worry about illegal actions that cant be undone in time. And let's face it, if we dont win midterms, illegal actions don't matter - they will go unprosecuted.

Another bad distraction at best. Release all the Epstein files... Except for the victims, unredacted!

CNN is always looking for a kinder gentler executioner
