12. No good deed goes unpunished.
Mon Jun 22, 2026, 08:44 AM
Monday

The party does not advance issues we all agree upon and cherish except during elections, fearing "but the primaries"

BULLSHIT.

The other side advances its lies and racist hate 24 by 7 by 365, and vilifies every Democrat relentlessly, while the DNCC sits by idly.

No wonder we seem to focus on personalities and "who said what about whom"

The message needs to go out 4 years worth of every 4 years, not a few months. It's a losing strategy, and the other side defines the issues.

Are you tired of losing?

Run on issues, not personalities. Own the issues. Win the working class back.
