I’m terrified that, during this impeachment process (not trial!), the Democrats are once again going to fall short. Why? Because a democracy depends upon a well-informed and engaged public!
Yet, all I receive from Democratic politicians are the same boilerplate fundraising pitches. Nothing to inform me. Nothing to engage my passions. Nothing to provide me with good talking points that response to the GOP dishonesty and dirty tricks. Nothing to make me think I’m part of the Democratic team. Nothing that makes me excited to participate.
That’s a problem because Democratic politicians are never going to accomplish real change without the power of the grassroots and masses of engaged voters supporting and pushing. We need to demonstrate to the once-great GOP that American standards of democracy, rule of law, honesty and fair play are alive and kicking and that we, the people, loudly and clearly reject the Republican’s Trumpist wing, with its totalitarian obsessions.
The Democratic Party needs to help us save America and step up your public relations game. Fundraising is critical but unless the Democratic Park is changing minds and inspiring action, we are losing.
