I gave up on social media for a while because I appreciate peace in my own personal space and being online doesn't always align with that. It doesn't help that I just can't with some people. There are people on this planet that just scream, "MUTE ME!" Sometimes I feel like I'm surrounded by them...

Ok, folks. I see people cheering the court decisions that put curbs on the tRump administration, such as the multiple judges' rulings on deportations and federal employee firings, HOWEVER who is going to enforce these rulings? What actions will be taken if they defy the courts?

How many of you feel that the town halls that Bernie Sanders and Tim Walz are staging are an effective way to reach potential voters? How many of you feel that more Democrats should be doing these town halls?

Well, it was fun while it lasted... yesterday at work a coworker proudly proclaimed that, now that tRump has taken ownership of the Gulf of America, he can send in the Coast Guard to stop drug traffickers and drill oil all the way to Mexico....

A small glimmer of hope at work...Two co-workers were discussing rising prices. One says if he had known all this, he would not have voted for him. The other comments about teenagers running social security....I took this opportunity to do "gentle education". No "I told you so's", just some facts...

I took some "mental health time" from social media. I'm not usually one who needs that kind of thing, but the events surrounding the election and the certainty of the suffering to come was just too much. I won't say I feel better because for the next 4 yrs there is no better

Let's just be honest, the Democratic party platform fell flat. I am 100% pro-LGBTQ and trans rights, have no doubt of that, however, most people in the US had larger priorities. High prices and interest rates put a real burden on many who are barely getting by.

"The traditional way of flooding hundreds of millions of dollars through a cartel of ad consultants is not working. If Democrats want to be an opposition party — if they’re not going to just roll over — you need to be getting your message out there all the time." — @ryanlcooper.com

Don't get me wrong, I think all the things talked about in the last election are important. They are. But they just aren't top priorities, rightly or wrongly, for the people in this country just trying to survive. We as Democrats have to do a better job of reaching these people. Talk their language

What I am trying to say here is that the Democratic Party message did not reach the people who most needed to hear it. Rural voters. The working class. The non- college educated. The platform was skewed to specific groups and not to everyone. We have to stop giving ground to the Red Menace!

Those are abbreviated examples, of course, but you get the general idea. Talking to the cult is exhausting and infuriating. Democratic Party leadership didn't help much, either. They didn't give me much to work with here. Talking about the party platform was met with blank stares and shrugs.

And college loan forgiveness. What a great way to help people reach financial stability! However, I don't know one single person where I live and work that would be helped by that. Not one. Rural, blue-collar people don't have college loans
