John Fetterman explains why Democrat party brand is toxic, and is not sure the Democrats can 'win white men back':
Tara Palmeri: "Why is the Democratic Party viewed as toxic by so many? Even people inside the party acknowledge that."
John Fetterman: "I think their primary currency was shaming and scolding and talking down to people and telling them, hey, I know better than you, or you're dopes, or you're a bro or you're ignorant, how can you be this dumb?
They're they're fascists. How can you vote for that? And, you know, when you're in a state like Pennsylvania, like, I know, and I love people that voted for Trump, and they're not fascist.
If you go to an extreme and you become a boutique kind of a proposition, then you're going to lose the you're going to lose the argument."
Palmeri: "How do Democrats win back white men like yourself?"
Fetterman: "I don't know, and truthfully, I'm not sure. I'm not sure if that's possible, to be honest.
Men are to blame or their, their masculinity is toxic. Or if you unless you're able to conform to our very strict kinds of definition of what we think is appropriate. Well, then I'm just I'm going to find an alternative. And they, they've done that."
The party that calls Americans stupid cannot figure out why the American public will not vote for them.

Hi everyone, I haven't been active in Solid Ground for a while, but I am still alive and kicking! I now work as personal assistant to a mind-bendingly weird and diva-esque artist-lip-syncher-performer named Fiona Blueberry. She is blissfully clueless about politics and seems to be completely unaware of the culture wars. Working with her is a breath of fresh air. If you need a mood lift, I encourage you to watch this video we made together. Happy 4th, everyone! Wishing you fun/love/peace on this holiday. :) www.fionablueberry.com
Jamie Reed testifies in Connecticut to oppose resolution SJ35. This resolution if passed would enshrine “gender identity” as a protected class in their states constitution. Jamie highlights precisely why this would be disastrous for gays and lesbians, children and the people of Connecticut.

tgif... one of the best entry scenes and songs in film. it not only only gives you all sorts of puzzle like clues of what's to come, but does it in a dark somewhat comedic fashion... "please hold handheld and stand to the right, if you wish to pass please do so on the left"... enjoy and have a great weekend! 😎
We got a leadership message today at work about “reexamining DEI work in Washington” and how we need to be more thoughtful in our communications with the public:
“We‘ve learned that certain language choices, while well intentioned, can draw negative attention that ultimately impacts program effectiveness and the safety of both communities and our staff.”
I’m guessing that means no more “birthing person,” “pregnant people,” or “chestfeeding.” 🤡
