Why can't the Dems do what Newt did in 1994?

36. "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." FDR

Fear.

I can’t speak for every Texan but folks in my family are afraid of brown people, black people, LGBTQ+ people, transgender people and libruls! Every single day Fox News and conservative YouTube channels and podcasts preach doomsday and fear. Too many hear this same narrative on Sunday mornings.

In a city where so much is about struggle, it's so important to have a space for joy

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani surprised patrons at an LGBTQ+ bar over the weekend when he stopped by their Halloween party to campaign.

The Democratic nominee was met with thunderous cheers and applause when he addressed the crowd at Papi Juice around 1 a.m. on Sunday. Speaking from the DJ booth, he thanked the Brooklyn QTPOC art collective "for creating a space for queer and trans New Yorkers."

"In a city where so much is about struggle, it's so important to have a space for joy," Mamdani said.

Americans need hope and joy and a government that actually gives a rats a$$ about them and their struggles.

America doesn’t need to be great again - we still are a country that helps a neighbor, volunteers to coach Little League or teach Sunday School, donate turkeys and toys, and feed the world.

Perhaps Democratic candidates need to remind us how good our country is and how we (all of us) can make it better for everyone - not just a privileged few.

Light and love
