DEMOCRATS POLITICIANS

I saw this post over at Rade's the one day, and it sums up how I feel more than ever. It's like someone read my mind perfectly. While not Stop the Car Worthy, yet, I will say the democrats need to get their act together. I still think they are in disbelief and disarray they lost the election. And when they run again, I don't want to hear the old "I'm not Trump." I need more than that and promises kept and executed. We will see how they get their act together and who ends up running for position of president, but right now, I'm over it, and disillusioned. The following is excellent and should be our rally card...though the following was initially attributed to Liz Cheney it has since been proof out as not. But Rade is right...it is well put and extraordinary, this should be a blueprint for the party. Enough of the old party and the tried and true. politicians. Thanks, Rade for letting me share this.

Dear Democratic Party,

I need more from you. You keep sending emails and texts begging for money. While we're

 watching facism consolidate power in real time.

This administration is not simply “a different ideology.” It is a coordinated, authoritarian

 machine — with the Supreme Court, the House, the Senate, and the executive pen all

 under its control.

And you?

You’re still asking for decorum and donations. WTF.  That won’t save us.

I don’t want to hear another polite floor speech.

I want strategy. I want fire.

I want action so bold it shifts the damn news cycle — not fits inside one.

Every time I see something from the DNC, it’s asking me for funds.  Surprise. Those of us

 who donate don’t want to keep sending money just to watch you stand frozen as the

 Constitution goes up in flames — shaking your heads and saying, “Well, there’s not much

 we can do. He has the majority.”

I call bullshit.

If you don’t know how to think outside the box…

If you don’t know how to strategize…

If you don’t know how to fight fire with fire…what the hell are we giving you money for?

Some of us have two or three advanced degrees.  Some of us have military training. Some

 of us know what coordinated resistance looks like — and this ain’t it.

Yes, the tours around the country? Nice.

The speeches? Nice.

The clever congressional clapbacks? Nice.

That was great for giving hope.

Now we need action.

You have to stop acting like this is a normal presidency that will just time out in four years.

 We’re not even at Day 100, and look at the chaos.

Look at the disappearances.

Look at the erosion of the judiciary, the press, and our rights.

If you do not stop this, we will not make it 1,460 days.

So here’s what I need from you — right now:

⸻

1. Form an independent, civilian-powered investigative coalition.

I’m talking experts. Veterans. Whistleblowers. Journalists. Watchdog orgs.

Deputize the resistance. Build a real-time archive of corruption, overreach, and executive abuse.

Make it public. Make it unshakable.

Let the people drag the rot into the light.

If you can’t hold formal hearings, hold public ones.

If Congress won’t act, let the country act.

This isn’t about optics — it’s about receipts. Because at some point, these people will be

 held accountable. And when that day comes, we’ll need every name, every signature,

 every illegal order, every act of silence—documented. You’re not just preserving truth —

 you’re preparing evidence for prosecution. The more they vanish people and weaponize

 data, the more we need truth in the sunlight.

⸻

2. Join the International Criminal Court.

Yes, I said it. Call their bluff.  You cannot control what the other side does. But you can

 control your own integrity.  So prove it. Prove that your party is still grounded in law, human

 rights, and ethical leadership.

Join.

If you’ve got nothing to hide — join.  Show the world who’s hiding bodies, bribes, and buried

 bank accounts.  Force the GOP to explain why they’d rather protect a war criminal than

 sign a treaty.  And while you’re at it, publicly invite ICC observers into U.S. borders.  Make

 this administration explain — on camera — why they’re terrified of international oversight.

⸻

3. Fund state-level resistance infrastructure.

Don’t just send postcards. Send resources.  Channel DNC funds into rapid-response teams,

 legal defense coalitions, sanctuary networks, and digital security training.

If the federal government is hijacked, build power underneath it.

If the laws become tools of oppression, help people resist them legally, locally, and boldly.

This is not campaign season — this is an authoritarian purge.

Stop campaigning.   Act like this is the end of democracy, because it is. We WILL

 REMEMBER the warriors come primaries. Fighting this regime should be your marketing

 strategy.

And let’s be clear: The reason the other side always seems three steps ahead is because

 they ARE.

They prepared for this.

They infiltrated school boards, courts, local legislatures, and police unions.

They built a machine while you wrote press releases.

We’re reacting — they’ve been executing a plan for years. It’s time to shift from panic to

 blueprint. You should already be working with strategists and military minds on PROJECT

 2029 — a coordinated, long-term plan to rebuild this country when the smoke clears.

You should be publicly laying out:The laws and amendments you’ll pass to ensure this

 never happens again. The systems you’ll tear down and the safeguards you’ll enshrine. The

 plan to hold perpetrators of human atrocities accountable The urgent commitment to

 immediately bring home those sold into slavery in El Salvador

You say you’re the party of the people?  

Then show the people the plan.

⸻ 

4. Use your platform to educate the public on rights and resistance tactics.

If they’re going to strip us of rights and lie about it — arm the people with truth.

Text campaigns. Mass trainings. Downloadable “Know Your Rights” kits. Multilingual

 legal guides. Encrypted phone trees.Give people tools, not soundbites.

We don’t need more slogans.  We need survival manuals.

⸻

5. Leverage international media and watchdogs.

Stop hoping U.S. cable news will wake up. They’re too busy playing both sides of fascism.

Feed the real stories to BBC, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, Reuters, Der Spiegel — hell,

 leak them to anonymous dropboxes if you have to.

Make what’s happening in America a global scandal.

And stop relying on platforms that are actively suppressing truth.

Start leveraging Substack. Use Bluesky.

That’s where the resistance is migrating. That’s where censorship hasn’t caught up. If the

 mainstream won’t carry the truth — outflank them.

Get creative. Go underground. Go global.

If our democracy is being dismantled in broad daylight, make sure the whole world sees it

 — and make sure we’re still able to say it. 

 

⸻

6. Create a digital safe haven for whistleblowers and defectors.

Not everyone inside this regime is loyal.  Some are scared. Some want out.  

Build the channels.  Encrypted. Anonymous. Protected.

Make it easy for the cracks in the system to become gaping holes.

And while you’re at it?

Stop ostracizing MAGA defectors. Everyone makes mistakes — even glaring, critical

 ones. We are not the bullies. We are not the ones filled with hate.

And it is not your job to shame people who finally saw the fire and chose to step out of it.

 They will have to deal with that internal struggle — the guilt of putting a very dangerous

 and callous regime in power. But they’re already outnumbered. Don’t push them back into

 the crowd.

We don’t need purity. We need numbers.

We need people willing to burn their red hats and testify against the machine they helped

 build.

⸻ 

7. Study the collapse—and the comeback.

You should be learning from South Korea and how they managed their brief rule under

 dictatorship.

They didn’t waste time chasing the one man with absolute immunity.

They went after the structure.

The aides. The enforcers. The loyalists. The architects.

They knocked out the foundation one pillar at a time — until the “strongman” had no

 one left to stand on.  And his power crumbled beneath him.

You should be independently investigating every author of Project 2025, every aide who

 defies court orders, every communications director repeating lies, every policy writer

 enabling cruelty, every water boy who keeps this engine running.

You can’t stop a regime by asking the king to sit down. You dismantle the throne he’s

 standing on — one coward at a time.

⸻

Stop being scared to fight dirty when the other side is fighting to erase the damn

 Constitution. They are threatening to disappear AMERICANS.

A M E R I C A N S.

And your biggest move can’t be another strongly worded email. We don’t want your

 urgently fundraising subject lines.

We want backbone....We want action.

We want to know you’ll stand up before we’re all ordered to sit down — permanently.

We are watching.

And I don’t just mean your base. There are millions of us who see exactly what’s happening.

 When we ALL speak, it ROARS with pressure that will cause change.

We need to be deafening.

You still have a chance to do something historic.

To be remembered for courage, not caution.

To go down as the party that didn’t just watch the fall — but fought the hell back with

 everything they had.

But the clock is ticking.
