Mullin needs to fight

Come on Diane, he has a cushy job. He is not about to fight as he knows his constituents will just keep on electing him. A run of the mill Democrat politician. All words and zero action.

Thanks for your letter, Ms. Birmingham, but you don’t seem to realize that you’ve highlighted the many reasons why Mullin has said Democrats don’t hold the gavel. To wit, Mullin is being silent because he can’t provide any alternatives for a better direction. Mullin has nothing to say worth listening to. Again, because he can’t provide any alternatives for a better direction. If Mullin were to take his job seriously and put America first, Mullin would have voted for the Laken Riley Act instead of being on the wrong side of history during every round of voting. Do you have any proposed alternatives? Because if you don’t your better option is to not reelect Mullin and instead vote for an America First candidate like we did with an America First president, President Trump.

While I disagree with wanting Mullin to "fight Trump" I do think it is pretty funny that you Dems elected this nepo-baby who has never, to my knowledge, had an original thought and now expect a scrappy inspirational "fighter". Did you follow Kevin's political trajectory as an assemblyman, who was apparently only elected because people liked his dad? Did you notice that his social media contains only copy-paste statements of Democrat talking points? While I could not bring myself to vote for either one, at least David Canepa is smart and fiery... would have probably been a better choice for you so-called Progressives. Oh well, the Democrat machine will ensure we have Mullin for the next 30 years or so and he knows it.

I'd much prefer to see the vision and fight of a Barbara Lee. AOC, or Ro Khanna, coming from Rep. Mullin. Hopefully he'll wake up to the moment and not remain seated. People out in the streets and demanding energetic town halls, are what we want to see. Reconnecting with the labor unions and some of their more visionary leaders such as Sean Fain and others, are key to reclaiming a working class majority, not playing to the wealthy and self satisfied. One good thing to come out of the Trump Chaos is that he's ticked off just about every constituency. That's good news for the upcoming movers and shakers.

America has sadly developed an addiction to MAGA, and the only way that it will purge itself is if things start failing dramatically. Except for an occasional comment on the most outrageous items, I am not going to waste my time arguing with the SMDJ Conservative Cabal (“the usual suspects” from which have already monopolized the response to this letter despite their frequent protestations of the LTE section being overwhelmed by “lefties” 🤣🤣🤣). It is clearly obvious that minds are already made up.

We will have to wait for events to play out to demonstrate clearly who forecast events correctly. Maybe we will get lucky - Trump may actually turn out to be “a stable genius” who keeps his opponents constantly off-balance while the “master negotiator” improves the economy dramatically, makes the world a better place, and wins a Nobel Peace Prize!!

On the other hand, we also might wake up to the United States, Ukraine, and Europe being betrayed from within to authoritarian governments, having wasted precious lives and immense treasure for nothing during the many decades during from WWII to the present.

Will we turn into a government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, and for the billionaires?

Or will we just muddle through the next four years while the usual cast of amateurs post classified war plans to group chats, enrich themselves with cryptocurrencies, cure diseases by injecting bleach, and sell cars on the White House lawn?

MAGA has encouraged people to distrust the experts who have sold them out. “Dems” are too much in the habit of “letting experts do their thinking for them” instead of “doing their own research” (in the swamps of the internet…).

I take some hope from the old quote from Winston Churchill that you can “trust Americans will do the right thing - after they have tried everything else,” but I also fear the supposedly old Chinese curse “may you live in interesting times.”
