Pissed off Democrat

Just this week I received in the mail requests from the DNC. DNCC and DSCC begging foe money.
I filed them in the proper garbage pail. I will continue to do this until We see Actual ACTION by the Democrats in power. I'm sick and tired of strong messages and strongly worded statements, that's all bullshit, Senator Schumer and Rep. Jeffries! Stop with the friends across the aisle crap, it doesn't exist with these scumbag MAGA Republicans!


So let me get this straight:

1. Most of the members of ICE are January 6 rioters or people he pardoned like the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and the Oath Keepers as well as a sprinkling of Fascists, KKK and Fake Christians.

2. our taxpayer dollar is paying ICE $50,000 sign on bonus, a $2000 a-head bounty for people they bring to one of their centers and of course they're $100,000 a year salary plus their deployment stipend

3. His unnecessary deployment of the National Guard in various areas has us, the Taxpayers taxpayers in debt for almost $1 billion

4. Playing an admiral, with a pretend Armada Trump deployment a naval task forces to Venezuela, now Persian Gulf, etc. That's probably another billion dollars + on citizens dime.

But there's no money for healthcare, education, snap, etc., etc. Bottom line is we the citizens taxpayers of America are paying ICE to terrorize our communities and murder American Citizens.

There is so much more that we all know he is doing illegally and totalitarian but I won't go in to in here.


I guess it's nice work if you can get it.


All the while they (we all know who) throw the finger at decent Americans, those include his MAGA cultists. He bribes give more and more to billionaires like Musk, Zuckerberg and Ellison and they cave and send him billions so they can continue to enrich themselves at our expense. Thank Republicans & SCOTUS for the Citizens United Ruling.


So the question again is where are the Democrats? Schumer and Jefferies should've got off their Washington asses, hopped on a plane and flown to Minneapolis to show support. Democrats should have a Shadow Cabinet countering the Administration every day every day. Dems should be calling press conferences And dare to force the complicit media to cover. Works stoppages, General strikes, peaceful protests should all be on the table. We are being let down by the every single day by the Democrats in the house and Senate, plus those former other powerful Democrats.- let's go Dems step it up. We need people like Bernie, AOC, Martin Frost. Mamdani, Hogg to take the lead. The days of the entrenched Democrats like Durbin, Schumer, Jeffries, Booker + those in the House of the same ilk needs to be over!

I’ll send a donation to Alex Vindman as he’s now campaigning for senate from Florida but I will send it directly to his campaign and not the national office

3. Leaders Jeffries and Schumer play pendulum politics.

Essentially, they believe the pendulum of power will swing back to the Democrats no matter what they do.

The theory is that eventually, the party in power will become so hated by the voters, it propels the pendulum to go the other way.

The party elite have their jobs whether the elections are won or lost.

Not as long as they have that wimpy-assed Ken Martin in the chair. Get a decent chairman and I'll think about it. Until then I will send contributions to individual candidates I like.
