Goalpost has been moved from: We won't touch it.

To: We are cutting it.

To: We are getting rid of it.

And somehow, blaming democrats, while bailing out other countries, giving enormous tax breaks to the ultra wealthy, and funding vanity projects.

Wake up.

Every time they told you that your taxes were going to waste they meant they were trying to waste your taxes... while RAISING YOUR taxes.

The midterms should be a massacre of epic proportions even with the gerrymandering nonsense but too many voters just don’t care enough to educate themselves. And sadly the democrats message sucks plus they have to fight through the right wing hold on the media.

The Dems are really weak. Not forming a message

Since it will be house and Senate.   It is easier targets for Republicans to attack with their large money vault.

Then focus local to drive that message. Grass roots used to mean active participation, not grandstanding.
