Letter to Schumer

 Senator,

It is very apparent that the DNC leadership has absolutely no idea how to react to the current political situation, including such areas as:

 - How to keep VA and SNAP vets like myself secure and stress-free

 - How to communicate with young voters

 - How to get re-elected with so many potential voters abstaining

 - How to continue being 50% of the reason there are only 2 political parties in the US, one more than North Korea.

 - How to have Bernie and AOC be "our" answer to President Musk

 - How old, centrist politicians need to step aside and make room for younger progressive representatives.

 - How to make confirming all of Pres Musk's cabinet look good

 - How to keep getting donations from corporations that Pres Musk hasn't bought yet.

 - How to placate residents of NY 21st that don't have a representative, but apparently still has an office in DC that we're paying for.

Instead of replying with some generic form letter, how about having you and your staff come up with something a bit more creative so I can bring it to my Twitch community online. The DNC is complacent in the creation of this dumpster fire, and the NY State Democratic Party should feel the wrath of Teddy Roosevelt. This entire corrupt neo-capitalist house of cards is about to come down on all of us,

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Reaction to Jefferies

I just got to the place where Leader Jeffries read off a list of places that don't exist in rural areas...in his state. I was an election inspector for the first time this past Nov. One of the themes of the night was neighbors meeting neighbors for the first time. The town has no retail (not even a place to get a coffee), no community or senior center, no library, and a town hall that's only open 4 days/week.

There is an active church, with a school that the town "donated" to it. I recently found out that it would make a great community center if it wasn't full of asbestos and didn't need a new heating system, new windows, and insulation. My conversation with the pastor included it being a long time before there will be any grant money available to do anything about it. One could see an opportunity to take advantage of potential future reduced regulations, but a Christian Church is involved. This is NY, not Trumplandia. People are distracted and disconnected from community, and there are no other options without a 40 minute drive. Most people are being distracted by corporate media of all sorts. Neo-liberalism is when corporations are in competition to attempt to provide benefits once provided by communities working together. Corporate media has us separated into groups that do similar things different and different things similar...or something. They may do one thing particularly good, but that's it. There are no venues to actually organize and share information safely and effectively without corporate distractions. There's no money in creating totally new platforms without having to to start with. There is no true public space, only those co-opted by corporate media of one sort or another. Trump's first administration showed so many cracks...none of which were fixed that I know of in the last 4 years, just bolstering the status quo. We've been kicking cans down some dark places that aren't roads or streets that are lit. There's a lot of work to be done if this experiment is going to continue in any democratic way, shape, or form, and we will need a way for everyone involved (We The People) to see what is going on and make suggestions on the way forward. Get out there, take a walk, and meet your neighbors. That's all some of us have without getting into a car. We're gonna need all the love, compassion, and cooperation we can get.
