NO! Democrats secretly trot out same old leadership team - D. Earl Stephens

Just 28 days after the most consequential election in American history, the 47 members of the Democratic Senate voted to stay the course with the leadership team that will be representing us through some of the most terrifying times in our nation’s history.

At a time we’ve never needed inspirational leaders who can connect with the voters more, they read the board, and decided to stay with the same pieces in power.

Did they not think it at all prudent to shore things up and at bare minimum at least give serious thought to putting bold, new leadership with new ideas at the top to let us know they were were not only ready for the fight, but would take that fight to the bastards who attacked us?

Because if they think that Dick Durbin and Chuck Schumer are the inspirational leaders we need right now, I am beyond insulted. Appearances are everything, and it appears to me, we haven’t learned a damn thing from what went down last month.

Much more at the link.



No disrespect to our Dem. Leaders but I do think we needed to make some changes. Stephens argues that they should have made Sen Booker the leader instead of the same old. Considering Speaker Pelosi passed the torch, I was hoping we'd do the same in the senate.

1. Dems at fault again. Oh the bullshit mill is churning full speed.

Senate and house leaders need to be street fighters.

A tiny fraction even know who the DNC leader is. In fact, we need people of the stature of a Martin Luther King, John Lewis, Joseph Walsh, Edward R. Murrow et. al. to LEAD the fight against fascism.


And citizens brave enough to stand up to fascist thugs.

Like these people!

Pinning it on a few only makes it easier to find a fall guy. Losers blame and look for fall guys in advance.

Winners unite and fight, each in the best way they can.
