I’ve been voting Democrat since 1972, and I’ve finally reached a point where I’m fed up with the Democratic leadership.

Democratic leaders have allowed Republican leaders to disrespect, demean, and define Democratic leadership as a joke. Now is the time for Democratic leaders to end the turn-the-other-cheek mentality.

Now is the time for Democratic leaders to stand up and take charge. Democratic leaders don’t need to lie or create false stories, but they need to start standing up for themselves loud and clear. The time to show the “we are going high” mindset is over!

President Biden and Vice President Harris must do this: On January 6, 2025, after the results of the 2024 presidential election are certified, you will both need to pack up and move.

The days of structured transfer of power are over. You and Vice President Harris must stop allowing Republican leaders to disrespect and demean Democrats! Don’t meet the new Republican administration at the door (so to speak) and don’t attend the inaugural ceremony.

Now is the time for Democratic leaders to stand up and show America and the world that we will no longer be the carpet in American politics.
