With a title like that there's so many directions to go. I'll start with bottoms up - you need to make enough noise that the leaders of the Democratic party listen. I want the Dems to get their collective shit together. The same with the Republicans. That's the environment where things (good solid bills get passed) get done. That's the environment where you win back the trust of the people. Fight the right fight, pick your battles. Burning political capital on irrational positions and issues the bulk of the US citizenry opposes is stupidity. Possibly it is time for the old guard from the Democratic party to join Mitch in retirement. Who are the leaders that refuse to change positions, who won't listen to the populous and change course? Who continues to double down on the same rhetoric? Nasty Nancy, Shifty Schiff, Chucky Shoe might be a good place to start. The party is floundering, searching for real leadership and a real direction. Stop dredging Kamala up - that's not helping. While the party searches - do the right thing and earn some respect - be above party line - vote and support for logical, popular ideas. That means letting MN leadership know what you think. Amy is trying to make a name for herself and be a contender going forward - let her know. Now that Tina Smith is not seeking reelection she is starting to have a voice -funny. The Governor well he's proved he's not going to listen even if he side steps into Tina's seat. Jimmy Carville hasn't been right or maybe he's been secretly "right" for a long time. He's saying, continue the hard line politicking, 30 days out the GOP will collapses. Hmmm, what if he's wrong? Maybe it can't hurt the politicians or you the voter to hedge the bet and to support something the Republicans are doing "righter" than the Democrats. If you don't agree with anything Trump is attempting to do, then that's on you and you deserve what you get.
I’m not sure this strategy would work this time. We have this one little problem - Elon Musk. The Trump-Musk bromance is flaming. Also, Trump seems to hate our country…well, at least our Constitution. I’ve heard that there are currently 90 lawsuits against the administration. I’m waiting to see what happens when the 1st one makes it to the Supreme Court. If they side with Trump, we’re screwed. Dictatorship here we come. Oh, and don’t forget about Project 2025.
I am optimistic: Consider recent polling conducted by YouGov for the Economist. It found that only about a third of Americans supported the Trump-Musk push to fire hundreds of thousands of federal workers. Among Republicans, more than 6 in 10 supported the idea. Among non-Republicans, though, fewer than 1 in 5 did. That same pattern holds for views of Trump, Musk and Musk’s DOGE team. About half of Republicans also have very favorable opinions of Musk and his team. But only about a quarter of non-Republicans view Trump, Musk and his team favorably.

Your right, I need to find areas of agreement and so I have decided that I support Trump and the Republican Congress’ ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL:
Tax cuts!
Major cuts to programs that serve the poor!
Increase the deficit!
Come on Amy, Tina and Ilhan - let’s go!
🙈🙉🙊🇺🇸
I was writing to the party, not you. If I was writing to you specifically, I'd do that privately. Lead your leaders.
