Yes, I will continue to support and vote for Dems.

However, the current congressional leadership is not effective and we need to play the same tactics as the R’s.
Example….Prop 50 CA passed big! Take the Fight to Them !

Be Brave! Be Bold! Speak for the people and not the corporations and rich donors.

Dem voters want more social democratic policies !

Otherwise, Dems will continue to appear be pushovers and lacking resolve.

I support Dems, but I’m not sure it excites anyone . 2026 is a must win . Show the voters what a wonderful future we can have and confront the hate and lies. No MORE appeasement.
