A week ago those of us with negative opinions about misogyny, racism, Nazi tats, sexism and frat boy behavior in general were repeatedly and disrespectfully mansplained that Platner was gonna be the Democratic nominee and DU supports Democrats so sit down and STFU.

Less than a week later, Democrats have no message and never have, are invisible between elections, throwing breadcrumbs, they sit around and eat shrimp, etc., etc.

If MAGAt ridicule is a powerful message what can ANY Democrat do that will satisfy?

What about the hero from Maine? A week ago he could literally do no wrong, what about now? Where's his message?

Name some Democrats you would like to hear from, then seek them out. There are plenty of Democratic messages on social media.

You can't hear messages unless you are listening.

DU supports Democrats.
