42. I agree on attacking! Speaking of the SAVE act; Dems should present a REAL voter ID law.

Take the argument away from them. There IS a legit way to pass a voter ID bill that would PROVE that Democrats DO care about only allowing legal voters to vote. FORCE the GOP to hold it up & talk about it constantly just like the election lies (I cannot believe I know people who STILL say it was stolen after FIVE YEARS. I live in a red state). Right now, the general public thinks the SAVE act is simply a voter ID bill. WE know thats a lie. But MOST people dont pay that much attention; they'll simply see GOP ads & talking heads asking "why are Democrats against making sure only legal citizens vote???" And it will work, just like the border ads worked in '24.
Hold press conferences. Do all the talk shows & interviews. Tell everyone "we support voting security, why wont the republicans let us vote on it?"
We here need to remember that we are in the minority; people who closely follow real news & pay attention. the REST of the people are the ones who swing elections.

The video some posted yesterday showing Rep Crowe exposing Hegseth; ALL the Dems should be talking about that scandal on the news. Subpoena that lawyer.
Expose the grifting from foreigners.

There is SO much out there. But the first thing is to take away their attack points.

Oh, and what about the national debt? NOBODY is talking about that.
