Tired of the false narrative

For the last 40 plus years the republicans have lived in their right wing bubble. They have demonized liberals/democrats with name calling, lies, and propaganda that included hate talk radio, drudge/Briebert, and foxnews. They are the loud mouths who have constantly made everything political. They are the ones who have constantly showed off their hate and politics by their stupid car bumper stickers and flags….they have treated Democrats as the enemy not their fellow countrymen…..and finally democrats have decided to fight back…..:and somehow liberals are getting labeled as the people who can’t get along with the other side and looks down on them and the ones dividing this is country….I have heard those sentiments expressed by two supposed liberals or democrats (bill Maher and tulsi gabbard)….

Because of their ownership, the VRWC gets all the air-time and editorial space needed to defame, demean and — most importantly — define us.

The current situation, IMO, has given us more than the opportunity to “tell the country” who we are as members of the Democratic Party. Bringing to light and prosecuting Drumpf and his treasonous horde shows no one is above the law and why Democrats are different from repuglians and worth supporting as voters.

But it’s sucks when people like Bill Maher starts to become part of that VRWC when he has a platform that is supposedly liberal.

Maher is a libertarian, and while he throws digs at repubs a lot, he's pretty critical of lefties, too.

Gabbard is a russian asset, last I heard.

I suggest you not worry overly much about their opinions.

But unfortunately they are portrayed that way in the media. So when they voice their opinions then it’s portrayed as the democrats are so out there that even “liberals” are criticizing them.
