Time for Democratic members of congress to ramp up their rhetoric

To our Democratic leaders. You don’t need to try and get the attention of anyone on this platform. We see what’s going on.
You absolutely need to get the attention of the vast number of people who due to working long hours or whatever, pay little attention to politics. You’re not going to break through by continuing to not call insane people with power insane.
Not calling people who are acting exactly as nazis, nazis. Not tying the entire republican party to him at every opportunity.
The destruction we are headed for is happening on many levels. We don’t need f’ing decorum. We need our leaders at every moment and on every platform to use language equal to the severity of the moment.

Democrats should be saying that Congressional Magats support pedophilia, support sex trafficking by stonewalling, breaking the law by not releasing the Epstein files.

Let's take this one step further, I suggest that unwashed Democrats get behind a non-politician to run for president, a Malcolm Nance-like person. Doing this would show the nation that Democrats are serious about throwing out the billionaires who destroyed our democracy.

This is why I get most of my news from freespeechtv.org, it doesn't sugar coat its language.
