12. I don't hear anyone saying Dems should be able to control what

trump is doing. I think almost everyone on DU is aware of the realities we face. But many things can and should be happening at once considering the extremity of the situations. We have no way of knowing what leadership is doing behind the scenes, but whatever it is could be enhanced by a better communication strategy. We all have our part to play, but instead of everyone just going off on their own, I think a plan would unify the efforts. And I think the Dem leadership has the platform to initiate a plan and galvanize support.
