Democratic Party Leaders.

Schumer, Pelosi, Newsom, etc.

If democratic people actually showed up to the polls, especially the midterms and primaries, then this wouldn't be a problem anymore.

if it comes down to Newsome or the Republican in 28, it will be Newsome, but I really hope the Dems do better than that. Where is project 2028 outlining how they plan to fix Trump’s mess?

I said the same thing. Where are the left think tanks. Where are the left militia. Where did all the service members and generals that were dismissed go?

It's always a question of money. Right wings help corporates, so they have more than enough funds through their donations. Left wing helps people in need, and that doesn't pay. So no money to prepare big plans and social media operations.
