Republican Congressmen will as we see, loose regard for all the things they claimed of justice and constitutional premise. They have shown the people their lust for enriching the wealthy and their plans to cut public services programs, and we are not as a Democratic Party pushing the Narrative and Pushing Our Congressional People to Get UP, Stand Up and Speak Up; Every Democratic Politician should be dominating the news and pushing the Platform and its Agenda. And Countering the Madness that Trump and Republican are doing. Yet, they sit silent and expect a few media stations to do the work for them, which is the work they should be doing themselves.
This madness of Republicans attack upon Democracy, the Constitution and Our Justice System, and ALL Our Departments and Divisions is an absurdity that is beyond anything that should be tolerated in America. Democratic Politician are sitting silent while we don't have Ambassadors in place for our International Relations, They are silent and the game of Musical Seats with High Appointed Offices is being made into a game show mockery, and yet,... Democratic Politicians can't find the Voice to Push their Narrative. .....
Even in this site, the lack of indulgence to engage talking about this stuff beyond a slap stick comment...is the oddest things ever (!!!!), in the middle of this madness that is being engaged daily by Trump and Republican. Republicans continue to do their madness because they know, as Democrats we are going to crack a joke and push a pun, and be silent when it comes time to talk details of promote a interactive narrative.
We don't promote the narrative so others can ingest and promote the details within and of commentary narrative among each other far and beyond this site. I know people who come here to read, who are not members of the site, but many give them nothing of commentary to work with, as too many take it for granted with assumptions, instead of taking the time to write, that other may have content for commentary to promote narrative in their daily interactions.
If I was new to political things, and came here to see what people promote of the platform and narrative, I'd be lost, because most of the comments are nothing more than "the drama spins" of pun and fun joke style comments.
Yet....
We have a Sitting President messing around in a Criminal Case... because he does not want his criminal history and conduct to be confirmed by the data in Cohen's files !!!!! Among the many insidious things he has done to damage every aspect of our Governance System and the Justice Departments attributes.
Republican are sitting around backing this madness. But the sad part too is, we should be asking the question as to why so many Democratic Congress-people are so quiet!!!! It's time to get backbone and guts and speak up!!! The news should be filled with Democratic Congressional People 24/7 calling this stuff out.
We had better stop being the passive party when it comes to our Democratic Congressional People, and speak up and stand up. They did this same "silence" when the Republicans launched an all out attack upon and against President Obama and the Democratic Party.. Too many Democratic Congressional members remained silent and did not canvas the country and push the Obama Administrations Agenda, many did not canvas the nations to inform and sell and promote the programs and plans that were all designed to help the America people and support the Democratic Agenda. The promotion of the narrative was not even to the level of a whisper; as a result the Republican took over the Congressional Seats.
We have to demand for the Democratic Congressional People to Speak UP, whether they are in a so called Red or Blue State. The blue states can't sit back and 'assume" everyone is on the same page. They have to CONTROL the narrative to ENSURE that everyone is at least in the same chapter and focused within the pages within that Narrative.
This site is proof that people are "not" on the same page, and many times not even on the pages within that chapter.
The whole narrative for the past 9+ years has been pushed by Republican dominating the narrative in the media and among the talking head pundits.
We better figure it out and do so quickly because "November is not that far away", and we can't allow Sander to again, split the vote, as he's already demonstrated his critique of the Democratic Party, yet he wants to ride on their Ticket... but does not know when to get off the stump so the Democratic Nominees and Candidates can gain his followers support.
We only have a few voices out there. I think Tim Kaine should be talking.. if he stand up and get about the nation and talk, it can open up the door for more Democratic voices to speak up. The strongest fighter with voice that is expressive without compromise or pandering to Republican spins, is Elizabeth Warren... If the Democrats speak up, and stop falling for these "name calling games" that Trump pushes... and the more he calls people names, the more Democrats should be speaking up promoting the Platform Agenda and Telling The People, how Democrats support that Platform. Then Explain to the Public... How they support the platform.
Right Now... we should be talking about "How we can improve Health Care For All"; and How we can repeal and replace the Republican Tax Plan and Make it Fair For All, We should be talking about How we can clarify the role of the President so there is no ambiguity about what that role is.
We should be talking about the Independence of the FBI and Our Judicial System... These are things people can Identify with and they can and will bond with is there is voices that take the time and interest to explain "how" they plan to do it, and "tell the people, the benefit it will be to them"... People need INFORMATION... and they need to know what the plan is and explain to them how it will work.
Democrats should plan and conduct a Mid-Terms Democratic Conference/Convention and Get ALL Democratic Political people on board, and leave no county untouched by the promotion of the Democratic Ideals. Go into the Red zones and Speak, and hold Town Halls and Rallies and give the people the information where the Public Narrative Can Be Promoted.

(870 posts).... some come back and say, the bulk of what they see is people with "one liner slaps stick", or "wanna be comedians', but not much commentary dialog that tries to promotes interactive commentary to expound upon points and factors and facts to promote conversational narratives.
It shows we are not on the same page... as a mass of people who claim to support the party and its platform and PUSH commentary narrative in the social sphere.
Geez!!!!!!!!!
this is what narrative control sounds like...

(870 posts)Democratic Congress People continue to fail to effectively do so, therefore Republican spins dominate the media and democratic voices are silent except for the few Democratic Respecting Networks that support the Democratic Ideals.
If they did not do so on their own.. we'd have nothing,.. because Democratic Congress People are sitting on their arse's with their lips zipped. They don't learn well... after they allowed the Tea Party to smother them and take congress, they are now allowing the Republican Congress to DO ANYTHING THEY WANT, ANY WAY THEY WANT TO DO IT.. there is only a hand full of politician who have any counter points that can turn the narrative.
This insidious overconfidence and assuming... is deadly, when this site demonstrates that Democrats are not on the same page, and count on assuming everyone who say's they will vote democratic understand what the narrative is or even have content to promote it. The "I hate Trump messages" only goes so far... People need substance, not to be susceptible to being bamboozled by Republican Drama, as we saw during 2016....
No matter how many times its said.. people resort back to "making pun" and "sarcasm".... and no dialog.
I got far more interactive commentary on sites with conservative majority.... they'd push their narrative, until it could no longer stand, but at least they were making efforts... and when they do so, they build bonds among each other, until someone comes and dispel their spins in ways they can't defeat or deny...
Democrats seem to think making jokes is bonding. but the point is there's no substance, that's how and why people can be so easily hoodwinked. Republican turned Democrats away from Hillary, because Democrats were susceptible to fall for it, and never once stopped to think.... Republican set them up 2 years ahead of the election with the Benghazi smear campaign against Hillary... and still Democrats did not catch on, even when facts showed Republican had the responsibility to fund for better security. They simply did not tie the dots, because they were too busy joking and getting caught up in Republican spin, and many turned away from Hillary and let something such as Emails derail them.... even when nothing was found in the emails to back up republican spin.
Democrats had no narrative, they were simply playing a "weak defense game', rather than a proactive push the narrative, and when Hillary tried to push the narrative.. many did not rally and promote it as conversational narrative in general society... everyone was only talking about Trump, which means Republican controlled the conscience narrative.
We defeated ourselves with complacency, over-confidence, and assumptions... If we'd INTERACTIVELY MADE DIALOG THAT SPREAD IN THE PUBLIC ARENA, THEN PEOPLE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SO GULLIBLE TO GET SUCKED IN BY REPUBLICAN DRAMA... AND THE SAD THING IS... WE'RE STILL DOING IT.
Trump does not give a darn what jokes Democrats spin, he just tweets some ignorance to keep them off balance and caught up in drama, while behind the scenes Republican do exactly what they want to do... while democrats are blind spinning jokes and puns and thinking themselves clever....
Talk about Democratic platform elements and agenda narrative, and Democratic people get silent. They won't even vote on anything but post they can add some sarcasm or pun... and anything that tries to arouse narrative they allow it to get buried.
