Senator Whitehouse has a plan to save our Country and our Democracy

I know it is a video, sorry.

This is an interview and a talk about how we move forward after we win the midterms and the next presidential election.

First he talks about how we have an EPA staff ready to go on day one. Then he talks about how we capture back the DOJ on day one. He talks about how we campaign on costs and corruption. How to explain to people how the fossil fuel industry billionaires have hijacked the presidency, the administration, and the Republican party. He talks about how to speak to people about Climate Change in ways that they can understand. How they are wargaming for the midterms and are preparing for any scenario. He talks about Supreme Court reform and he already has a plan drawn up and ready to go. And more.

I have been so depressed about the state that our country is in, and he gives me hope. We do have heroes in our party. They see what is happening and are doing everything that they can to save us.

It really is a must watch!

i like the war room for epa and we need this for all of our issues.

we need a shadow cabinet, people dedicated to each issue and ready to go on inauguration day. many european parties do this.

our current model pits like the sierra club and green peace and a few hundred smaller and more local .org , competing for funds. keep the grassroots .org but try to coordinate.

To prove the scientific facts.



Seriously, do like I do.
I either watch in segments, or I speed up the pace and watch some bits, then I keep my thumb on the upper corner and fast forward through the boring parts.

I sometimes don't watch at all but turn on the subtitles, off the volume and speed read the subtitles at 2X.

You can look up the video on C-SPAN as well where there's usually a transcript. But you probably don't have time for that. I'm easily distracted, so that doesn't always work for me.

Hopefully, I didn't eat up too much of your time with my long explanation, rampartd.

❤️

I wish everybody would do that when they post video, to give me some idea of whether I consider it worth watching or not.

Seeing Democratic leaders step up with big ideas is encouraging.

Holding the Republican Party, its enablers, and everyone down to the smallest MAGA accountable is essential. I don’t want revenge…I want justice. Especially for those who are targeted by MAGAts for injustice.

Surely it's time for him to be defeated in the next primary by a young, attractive DSA candidate who rants about Israel!

Because a PLAN is most definitely needed.

I don't think he gets enough people talking about what he is saying. He knows his stuff.

He is a leader in saving our Democracy.

BTW, This is not over 3 hours - it loops at about 45 minutes.
