Heck, you could have only been a Democrat for a day. Doesn't matter. The main thing that matters is that you care about our country, the people in it, and will be on the correct side of history.

Joe, I’ve been a democrat my whole life and not only do I welcome you and Mamdani and anyone that is willing to fight for democracy, I am THRILLED to have you all. We can work out differences later. None of it matters under an autocracy. I embrace you all, my friend!

This is what Harris & Walz were warning us about.

Thank you Joe! We don't need "soft spoken" right now. This! I really don't know if we even have a democracy in America anymore! We need loud and we need a huge tent. Philips and Fetterman be damned.

No need to pussyfoot around on something this important Joe, thank you for your honesty. Dems need to wake up and change their bullshit "invisible" strategy

Regarding Fetterman, I had no idea that HE was the determining factor as to who is a Democrat and who isn't. (And he's a DINO lately.)

There's only a few Democrats in office that actually want to fight, get loud, and say NO! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! THIS WILL NOT GO ON ANY LONGER! History is repeating and they're fucking pussy-footin' around! How about putting a stop to it before it gets worse, which it will!

* The Price of Freedom: A Nation's Stand

My fellow Americans,

We stand at a precipice. The very foundation of our democracy, the principles that define us as a nation – freedom, justice, and the power of the people – are under siege. A regime has taken root that seeks to dismantle these ideals, to centralize power, and to silence the voices of ordinary Americans.

This is not a drill. This is not a partisan debate. This is a battle for the soul of our nation, and we, the American people, are the last line of defense.

To reclaim our democracy, we must face an uncomfortable truth: we must halt the engine that fuels this regime. We must, together, choose to disrupt the very systems it relies upon. This means a collective act of non-cooperation. It means temporarily stopping the flow of productivity that empowers those who seek to undermine us. It means, for a time, accepting financial pain.

I understand the gravity of these words. I know the fear and uncertainty that such a prospect evokes. Families will struggle. Businesses will face hardship. But I ask you: what is the cost of losing our democracy? What is the price of living under a system where our rights are eroded, our voices are silenced, and our future is dictated by a few? That cost, my friends, is far greater and far more enduring than any temporary economic pain we might endure.

Think of those who came before us – who risked everything, who shed blood and treasure, to establish and preserve this nation. They endured famine, war, and unimaginable sacrifice for the promise of a free society. Are we, in this generation, less capable of defending that legacy?

This is not about surrender. This is about strategic withdrawal of our energy and resources from a system that has become weaponized against us. By stopping our collective productivity, we starve the regime of its power. We deny it the resources it needs to perpetuate its control. We create an undeniable crisis that forces a reckoning.

This will be painful. There is no sugarcoating it. But we are a resilient people. We are ingenious. We will organize. We will support each other through community, through shared resources, and through the unbreakable bonds of our common purpose. We must prepare for this pain, knowing that it is the necessary path to a greater good.

The choice before us is stark: a brief, intense period of shared hardship for the promise of a free future, or a slow, agonizing slide into authoritarianism with consequences that will echo for generations.

Let us rise to this challenge. Let us stand together, united in our resolve. Let us choose freedom, no matter the cost. Our democracy, our future, depends on it.

God bless America!

Im glad you’re with us, I agree with making sure the tent is big enough for all ideologies within this country that protect this democracy.

I do think you’ve hit a great point focusing on immigration, but we’ve already tried and failed making maga the boogie man—- sooo where does that put us?

The way people were treated through immigration policies and the management of Covid essentially allowed the win of Biden— but people seem to have short memories. Most people that were talking the last 6 years warned MAGA 1 was just the preview to MAGA 2, and those warnings seemed to have been ignored.

Again I question how we do this. Every democrat I know can acknowledge the short comings of our leaders, I don’t see that with my Republican friends- It makes conversation difficult. So how?

The Repukelicans are no longer pro America, they are pro the ORANGE FELON ☠️they are destroying our country, masked thugs , with no proof they are real police, grabbing people by the color of their skin, NOT HUILTY OF CRIME, like we were told by the Orange Felon, our first

FASCIST PRESIDENT ☠️🤬🤮💯

I agree. The most important thing is to restore democracy. Without it, we have nothing.

We should be friends. Seriously.

We need to take notes on all this stuff that's happened and be sure that the midterms are prepared with voting out all the local politicians that have enabled this. Our system of checks and balances doesn't work if no one has a backbone

🤔 yes, your right, ‘democrats wake the fuck up’ because we are fighting fascism and this fascism is ugly. It’s powerful and has been implemented over a very long time by unscrupulous REPUBLICAN, white Christian Nationalists and white supremacy type people. Yes, it’s ugly; it’s no more Mr. Democrat Nice guy stuff.

Life long Democrats and those in elected positions are a bit more conservative, yes, conservatively ‘narrow’ in their view of who is a Democrat. Oy, too left or too right well perhaps . . . the only thing that is important is that we are in fact fighting fascism. And if you are fighting fascism with us, that means you’re accepting of LGBTQ whatever people, that you believe that women should have autonomy over their own bodies and that everyone is truly created equal along with religion having no place in government because those are exactly the things that have inspired the racist movement against that ‘liberal view of humanity’ that we thought we had. That is what Democrats believe, or as a Democrat I believe. And yes again, I think the Democrats should get a grip. Look at Bernie Sanders. Amazing man. Look at the guy who just won in NY 🤷‍♀️who knew. Look at AOC; fabulous. These are not mainstream Democrats and yet I believe in many of the things that they believe - they too are fighting fascism. We all are.

I ask you Sir, how do you feel?

Yeah, a Democrat finally wins and they want to run away from him.
