The email about carney is not productive.

Where is the answer for action?

We added a call to action at the bottom. I suggest actually reading the article and getting involved where you live locally.

I guess I'm naive, but what I don't understand is why Democratic leadership didn't control those consultants and get relevant, actionable information out of them. I mean, that's the definition of leadership. If military consultants told Eisenhower that storming the beaches of Normandy was likely to fail, would he have acquiesced? Of course his generals told him all the terrible facts and odds of that assault. But, because he was a leader, he used the terrible facts, came up with the best strategy under the circumstances and made the odds work.

So, if a consultant hands you a poll showing long odds in, let's say, Odessa, does that mean you give up or does it mean see and internalize the odds then figure out how to do it anyway? My point is ultimately, it is on Democratic Party leadership. Because the consultants work for them, not vice-versa.

While I think this article is good. I want to emphasize, who do you think is the Democratic Party is? It’s not just a few people in leadership. The Democratic Party is made up of volunteers that work hard to GOTV. While people who write articles that criticize the party can be interesting, I would like writers to work with the Democratic Party to be the change you want to see in the Party.

The Democratic Party is ALL of us who are trying to get the best candidates elected. Working together will make the difference. Lead us to make the change you speak about here. Help us elect great County chairs who lead the Precinct Chairs to talk to neighbors. In Texas all the County chairs get together and help us out to get this change you speak of. From the bottom up. 💙 ✌🏼

Let me get this straight. Carney knows Blacks and Latinos don't vote, yet they spent how many years crying about the invasion because Democrats were importing voters????? So much bullshit. Stop getting pulled off topic by their garbage talking points. Democrats don't go on and on about showers in high school. That's a Republican talking point...over and over. Just like "they're eating cats and dogs'.

That was literally what he said in the room. We know that isn't what happens, but he made it a talking point. And it should enrage us all. Because he repeats his lies so much that they become true in his head.

Denmark in case you didn't know it is a typical European country. They get lots of free stuff stolen from other people and as a result have much less incentive to work and end up with about half of the income of people in the United States. People in France have the same income as the people in Arkansas And Arkansas is about our poorest state. Silicon Valley is in the United States it is not in Europe!
