“Trump has projected a level of confidence that has successfully persuaded persuadable people that he is in charge, in command and in control.” Actually, to this retired high school teacher, he has always sounded like the slacker who didn’t do his homework, trying to bluff his way through class. And thank you, Beto, for staying in the fight and not pulling your punches like our current minority leaders!

Beto, stay strong, brave, outspoken and safe. I continue envisioning you — brave, compassionate, articulate leader of the people — as President. 🙏🏻🙏🏾🙏

Next gens need you (and other visionaries) to lead the masses in what must be non-stop, ferocious slapping-back at this American authoritarian oligarchical kleptocracy and to remind all that we see DOGE for what it is: douchebags openly gaslighting everyone.

People stand up, get loud in the face of fascist America. It’s upon us.

I am reluctant to donate through the dem party. All they do is buy more horrid tv ads and bury me in them. There must be a better way…

I love Beto, nearly went broke in 2020 supporting him against Ted Crazy. But Repubs cheat, always in Texas.

Gotta say, I like Beto's orating style. Sometimes when speakers talk too fast or are yelling, I end up missing some of their points. I appreciate Beto's calm, clear voice.

Beto has the correct political strategy. Instead of looking at what Trump does and thinking in a corporate-planning mindset for some future national election, we must do what Beto outlines. Look at how Trump fakes strong leadership and undertake to screw that up for him. Look at how Trump's base reacts when it figures out Trump is ruining their lives and undertake to drive that wedge between him and his base with a sledge hammer. And then welcome Trump voters over to our side. The only thing keeping them from being Democrats right now is Trump lying to them.

The Democratic Party seems to have forgotten the goal here is to get more votes than Republicans. Let's do this!

That’s Right. He has the SAME vision that Howard Dean had in 2006 and 2008. The strategy that granted Democrats VICTORY.

I feel so disheartened. I think if all the huge crowds and rallies for Kamala and yet trump supposedly won. I do not believe that all the swing started went in his favor. So if they could manipulate the election in the past, they can and will do it again

Take courage Kathleen Look for the joy that a sunrise brings or a breeze in the trees. Focus there until you feel more confident and joy filled. That’s where true power lives. “Power attracts, whereas force repels. Power serves others, whereas force is self-serving.” David R Hawkins https://books.google.com/books?id=EzBqBgAAQBAJ&pg=PR13&source=kp_read_button&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&gboemv=1#v=onepage&q&f=false

Trump/Vance/Musk aren’t incompetent or unqualified. They would only be those things if we thought they were trying to build and create and strengthen our country, our people, our economy, and our standing in the world.

It also isn’t just greed and making the wealthy wealthier and privatizing everything. They don’t know how to operate any business model or corporation successfully and they aren’t trying to here.

Their primary objective is our utter destruction. The chaos and destruction is the point. The American people and our democracy and freedom loving allies are their enemy. Trump and Putin have waged war on the USA and started WWIII. They are working together to create an authoritarian and kleptocratic new world order run by the crime bosses, morally bankrupt, craven, greedy, lying, cheating thief’s, rapists, and traitors.

If we understand this is Trump/Musk/Vance/Putin’s true goal, then they are achieving exactly what they intended. When we discount Trump/Musk/Vance and their fellow traitors as incompetent or unqualified - we fail to see the grave existential threat that we face. Their intention is our annihilation. Their ultimate goal is to wipe democracy off the face of the earth. They work with Putin and other right wing and authoritarian leaders in Hungary, Israel, Venezuela, North Korea, Turkey, El Salvador, etc…
