In reply to the discussion: Tim Walz: People are Sick of Dems' "Strongly Worded Letters" [View all]
bigtree
(94,042 posts)39. that meme is bullshit
...sometime they send letters.
They have NEVER BEEN INTENDED AS THE TOTALITY OF DEMOCRAT'S RESPONSE OR ACTION.
It's all some people focus on, to the exclusion of what Democrats are actually saying and doing,
It's a fucking canard, and people need to think before they play into this 'Dem wrong' bullshit as if doing this in public is some genius messaging.
Walz should keep do what he's doing, whatever that still is while he's still in office. Imagine that. The guy that's quitting lecturing the people who are staying in the fight.

What does he mean by "breaking the norms"? An eviction freeze would go a long way toward walking the talk in MN rn.

I'd find it helpful if he had some examples of how he's doing that in MN

okay but like he could be doing this himself, yes? In Minnesota? Because I remember a lot of strongly worded statements

I think voters generally want and expect integrity from Democrats, but we've got to get control back first.

+1. Heck, we had people on here who were severely criticized for calling Trump a traitor/racist/dictator/Nazi/rapist

What would you have our Democrats do? I'm guessing you must have some PLAN of action...

Sure. I'm sure when you go to work you wait for random people to tell you how to effectively do your job.

Even in the YouTube HFY stories on space adventures, the politician sending "Sternly Worded Letter" is present

Directive, organization, humanpower and follow-through. More is definitely needed.

That, and Dems need to understand that they are using a broken system to fix a broken system.

Oh, but strongly worded scolding of Democrats is really doing something. Everybody loves to be angry at Democrats.

It's perfect. Convince your enemy to spend its time attacking itself as the enemy.
