What Are We Doing, Democrats?

The Schloss-Blog wants to urge Democrats to do something ...

...aggressive. Impolite. Impassive. 

The American public regards your party with the same approval ratings it gives to Donald Trump, in the 30ish percentile, because you don't have your act together and you've given them nothing to grasp onto, hope for, believe in, et. al.

Yes, you can run on affordability (sure worked in New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial races in 2025), so stop complaining about everything else, like:

**Weaponizing

**Trade

**Foreign policy

**Need I say more?

Americans are fed up with foreign wars and tariffs that have driven up prices and made the cost of living unbearable, out it on a paycheck-to-paycheck basis and left people unable to afford healthcare, insurance therefor and - as polling now shows consistently - the ability to live the American Dream (to cards, two kids, a dog and house in the suburbs). 

Especially a house. People can't afford to buy a house, they consistently tell pollsters.

Dems, take your cue for speaking points from the late-night, talk-show hosts who blister the Trump administration for the policies that have caused all this.

Stephen Colbert may be going off the air on May 21 (thank you assholes at CBS), but he has regularly skewered Trump and will do so all the way to "Exit, stage left."

John Stewart on Comedy Central's The Daily Show, scolds the administration every Monday night, and Trump in particular, for his out-of-whack policies and weaponization of the DOJ and the FBI. Then he produces a show the rest of the week that does the same, with brilliant hosts and insightful guests who are expert at doing the same and underwrite the skewering the show does.

Jimmy Kimmel, at war with the administration for using its own words against it, has parent Disney's muscle behind him and neither he, not it, will yield to Trump pressure to dump him. In fact, they relish in it.

Over at NBC, the one major network that hasn't capitulated to the administration - yet - Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers always take Trump to task, Meyers especially with "A Closer Look" pieces that shred Trump, using his own words regularly too.

These guys should be your script writers, Democrats. Get with it. Start watching them, adapting their techniques and adopting their methods of attack.

Please!
