I appreciate the outrage, and the video is powerful, but here’s the problem:
1. The people who need to see this will never see it.
The voters who need to be moved don’t follow the DNC, don’t open their emails, and actively distrust anything with a Democratic logo on it. But they do listen to neighbors, church members, caregivers, veterans, teachers, regular people who aren’t trying to win a campaign, just trying to protect their communities. That’s who gets heard now. Grassroots messengers.
2. What we need from Democrats is framing.
Emotionally resonant, sticky language that regular people can repeat without needing a policy degree. Something like:
No parent sitting beside their child’s hospital bed wonders whether cancer research is “Republican or Democrat.” They just pray someone, somewhere, is working on a cure.
That’s why it matters that the new federal budget cuts funding for childhood cancer research, breast cancer research, colon cancer screenings, and immunotherapy. These aren’t “extras.” They’re literal lifelines.
This is about whether people get time. Another year, another graduation, another Christmas.
And if our elected representatives can’t understand that, then they’re not pro-life. They’re just pro-power.
I guess MAGAts don’t get cancer? Or maybe Jesus wants them to have cancer? I dunno. I don’t speak idiot.
