Lay low or pound the table ? [View all]

There are some within the Democratic Party, who say we should lay low, sit back and let the Republicans destroy themselves. There are others who say being quiet is the last thing we should do. I tend to agree with the latter.
We are being led by an insane Russian puppet who appoints insane people to top government positions and decimates government agencies that are designed to keep us safe. Government agencies, such as the NIH and the national Park service , which give back more money than they cost are being destroyed.We are building concentration camps. Students are being deported because of speech. Worldwide markets for our farmers have been destroyed. People are being deported without due process. political show trials are being set up. US citizens, including a disabled veteran, are being disappeared off of our streets. I would think that it is possible to pound the table about all of this AND talk about the Epstein files. There are some within the Democratic Party, who are doing an outstanding job of pounding the table-and there are others who seem to want to act as if this is politics as normal and that if we just be quiet, everything will be fine. Perhaps I will be proved wrong, but it seems to me that being quiet is the last thing we should be doing right now.
