As usual, you write SO clearly---how---can more people read and absorb what you are writing about??? VERY frustrating to have you be so valuable and yet???? Not sure where we, the NON-Maga public, are all going to go from here with this horrible situation we are finding ourselves in. THANK you for what you are doing!!!

And sadly the rep for ny21 Dems (Blake Gendebien) isn't a policy guy.. and of late has been under fire for pointing out things he said as a business owner

CATHOLICS - The POPE provided direction today that Trump’s immigrant deportation plan is wrong and Vance’s rationalization to justify it … is wrong.  The POPE said “ it's important for Catholics to disagree with any measure that identifies the illegal status of some migrants with criminality. “  Per the POPE, Catholic’s have a duty to express their disapproval of Trump’s deportation plan to Trump & republican politicians.

"I hope I am wrong" has become a scary phrase.. as the alternative to it (used by republicans): "that isn't going to happen"

So far much of what hmpy trmPEDOphile has said he would do (which is hard to track down since he said some much that as counter to what he had said moments before and he is an f-ing LIAR)...

In both ('hope for wrong' or 'isn't going to happen') see to be coming frighteningly true

Example of the lies: "don't know what project 2025 is" and yet it is mostly what he has been doing

I would like to know when the NYS Democrats (actually all Democrats) of the party will stop running from reality and start running FOR office

This is especially true related to the media...

Example this (of Blake Gendebien), reported by the right-wing...nypost: https://nypost.com/2025/02/09/us-news/blake-gendebien-who-is-running-for-elise-stefaniks-seat-once-called-constituents-too-lazy-boozed-up/

1) if someone is critical of you (as a candidate).. don't run

2) use the gQped playbook.. "I am leading America into prosperity.. I will NOT campaign on republican hate"

3) steer the conversation back to policy, which the gQpeds don't have

4) challenge the media to use facts*

5) ALWAYS use the gQped playbook.. While Dems do have policy, they seldom have evil attack dogs that spend their time twisting the facts.. and searching for things in a candidate's past that can be twisted

6) be proactive.. don't let the gQpeds set the talking points with lies... ask the media, why they are dancing to a false narrative

7) be the mud slinger of gQpeds past ( "I don't to talk about that, I want you to ask why you are allowing my oppoent to support racism.. I want you to explain why you are okay with him/her everyday racism, but seem to think an interview from 10 years ago is your agenda??!??!?")

I think what Gendebien said in the interview is true.. there are many reasons why undocumented workers find jobs... and a lot of it has to do with the current state of many US workers at the lower end. Gendebien was an employer, he wasn't making up things

I say this as, because as you know... a 'fascist' comment by you was twisted.. and not challenged and instead of putting the onerous on people to disprove it.

Arrow in your quiver when a democrat is asked a question that is a republican spin: “I have addressed that.. and went over it many times. The fact you ask this, demonstrates you are not aware of the issues.. Until you educate yourself, and I asked you to not fall for the dishonesty the republicans have given you....let’s move onto the real issues Americans face every day, like.....”
