This is a part of an article from Meidastouch network by one of the brothers Ben who is an attorney talks all about fascism authoritarianism, and what’s happening in our country. They just won the best podcast award and have a great following.

I don’t think the Bulwark people who I have been a paid subscriber since the very beginning when Charlie Sykes created it are listening. They have done an excellent job being an anti-Trump talking about all this stuff but right now they are doing what Republicans do

It is not necessary, and it is hurting the cause

There is no reason to put Joe Biden under the bus and try to destroy him and his legacy of all good that he’s done in his life especially pulling us out of Trump 1.0 in Covid.

I think you’re right they are not gonna let it drop.

“We don’t fall for the distractions here at the MeidasTouch Network or the obvious traps that try to pit pro-democracy voices against each other.

That’s one of the keys to our success and growth.

I see too many good people who are too focused right now on pointing fingers about the 2024 election and about messaging and branding—looking back and pointing fingers—that they are forgetting, fundamentally, that politics is about people.

We shouldn’t think about cooking up “political brands” in a lab to try and connect with people.

We need to keep it simple.

We need to be humble and just shut up sometimes and listen to people.

Listening is far more important than hearing ourselves talk.

We need to understand what people are going through and connect with them as people and human beings—not as robots.

We need to connect with empathy and genuine concern for the human experience, to fight for people and make their lives better, and talk about specific ways we can help people live better lives.”
