"You didn't believe them when they said they were going to overturn Roe v. Wade. They did. They now say they are going to eliminate Social Security and Medicare. Believe them."

(55,137 posts)I guess they are hoping that people will die off, like with Covid, and younger voters will be more impressionable and easier to manipulate.

I read a report on the connection and it is pretty clear.

I support this party but fuck me! They refuse to use the ammunition that is given to them. It's umfuckingbelievable the ammo they don't use. Every Democrat should be harping on this non stop.

(5,455 posts)MSNBC. He is absolutely right - the Dems should take his suggestions seriously!
I try so hard to watch Reidout after Ari's show but I cannot tolerate the way that Joy shouts and goes on and on about nothing! I love some of the guests she has on but can't even watch those interviews. I switch to podcasts until Chris Hayes' show comes on.
LenaBaby61
(6,991 posts)But I have to agree with you here:
"I try so hard to watch Reidout after Ari's show but I cannot tolerate the way that Joy shouts and goes on and on about nothing!"
She talks about important things--sometimes. But I no longer watch her show. I only watch Rach, Nicole, Lawrence, Ali when he fills in, Katie Phang (Love Ali and Katie), and Rev. Al sometimes.
claudette
(5,455 posts)mostly really wonderful, but I sacrifice that and watch them on other shows. Agree with you about Rachel, Nicole, Lawrence and Ali - along with Chris Hayes and Ari.
llashram
(6,269 posts)about an explosive ad I thought. What's with the shift to Reid? Just so you can plug Hayes, Ali et al on MSNBC. I smell something akin to what...can not quite remember the word. But it does not smell positive with what you started with your diversion to Reidout to shoot her down...she is a Democrat and has a very loyal following. I should go further with this discovery but I'm not going to waste my time. Have a good one.

(6,479 posts)jeopardy the Repugs will put this country in if they shut down the country and sunset SSecurity and Medicare. Have the sensation that the Dems are being too nice. And Fla's Democratic strategists are invisible this go-around.

(108,772 posts)I wouldn't be surprised if everything we care about is on the table. And I also wouldn't be surprised if they regain power in 2024 that they wouldn't hesitate to go full Nazi.
calimary
(90,017 posts)Because Republicans DONT want to help you.
They dont see why they should have to.
DO NOT FORGET: these are the youre on your own people. Its just not in their interest to help anybody but themselves.
And ironically, theyll also be the same ones who claim rather loudly and in-yer-face what devout Christians they are.

(11,213 posts)Here in Texas, there is an ad that tiptoes around the murder accomplice in the governor's chair. It talks about how children in Uvalde were lost, that shoppers in El Paso were lost because of abbot. There weren't lost. They were killed. They were blown apart by a weapon that abbot defends.
Here in Texas, they are sending children home with DNA testing kits so that their bodies can be identified after the next Uvalde. The kits come in a red, white, and blue envelope from the "State of Texas" with the heartwarming message "A gift of Safety from our family to yours". They won't do anything to stop your children from being slaughtered, but we will help you identify which body parts are yours afterwards.
