let's hope they all do better in the next mod-terms

ibsqueek.bsky.social•78 days ago

Have a libertarian here who is deeply depressed he voted for the sludge, because (and I quote) “she’s just as bad but he’s easier for Congress to fight”.

sandi-l-s.bsky.social•78 days ago

That's called being a clueless misogynist. There was no equivalency.

junebug1925.bsky.social•78 days ago

The main unification to vote in November 2024 should’ve been
#1 - to NEVER let a 1/6/21 defender and schemer of 84 fake electors to EVER be in any ballot
#2 - to NEVER let a 17 count tax fraud or 34 count felon be on any ballot.
Many chose MAGA instead🤬

Impeach him throw him in jail he is a Russian spy

stactv.bsky.social•78 days ago

I hear you. We are all pissed for the ones that voted for this regime. Let's see how we can thwart him through all legal means possible.

pindagirdle.bsky.social•78 days ago

I didn't vote him, and I would guess the majority gathering didn't either

heidafied.bsky.social•78 days ago

Yes, no I don’t know. Maybe I’ll tell you later but even if I did it nothing’s wrong with that stupid fuck.

heidafied.bsky.social•78 days ago

I completely agree with you. Hitler’s favorite line it’s fortunate for the government that the people are ignorant Trump copied him in every way Trump doesn’t even have an original idea. He doesn’t have a first grade education and he’s just contrary he says all three things know yes I don’t kno

notgivingupnow.bsky.social•78 days ago

Emmm…you’re right there.

mkfrommaine.bsky.social•78 days ago

I was there and I can assure I didn't vote for the fascist and I really doubt any of the rest of us there did.

ftwaygal.bsky.social•78 days ago

No kidding

justahousewife.bsky.social•78 days ago

Me too!

mika1957.bsky.social•78 days ago

It's still not enough people more need to stand up this is nothing compared to the 70s wake up America it's almost gone

reasonsvoice.bsky.social•78 days ago

Sure was good for fundraising, though...

😕

mrunclegeorge.bsky.social•78 days ago

he told the world what he was going to do, Harris warned everyone everyday what this guy was going to do. But all anyone heard was "cheap groceries"

tpeyton.bsky.social•78 days ago

Agree. This should have happened before the election, and I said that to people overcome and over in the months before the election took place. Good that it's happening now. Better late than never.

carlglo.bsky.social•78 days ago

Me too!

antifahq.bsky.social•78 days ago

It’s about time America wakes up and starts causing some good trouble and make these MAGAts squirm on the hook.

satoriwave.bsky.social•78 days ago

I’m totally 100% with you on this.

greg51nc.bsky.social•78 days ago

Go Portland! Go Maine! Let’s go America!! Government FOR the people, BY the PEOPLE!!

snikpoh.bsky.social•78 days ago

Ummm, Portland voted 80.6% for Harris.

chistery1.bsky.social•78 days ago

Yeah, it’s lots of fun when people speak and think they know what they’re talking about but they actually are way off base. In addition, I thought Maine had a pretty good track record with greens in office, no?

snikpoh.bsky.social•77 days ago

Yes, mostly at the municipal level, which makes sense (get experience, IMO). A couple in the State House (Henry John Bear, former Maliseet Tribal Representative to the Maine Legislature became a Green while in office).

netherese.bsky.social•78 days ago

bluedotsunite.bsky.social•78 days ago

I understand. I’m still pissed. But, I hope we can build from here, unite against fascism and settle our disputes afterwards.

clove58.bsky.social•78 days ago

True that!

hoogostiglitz.bsky.social•78 days ago

These takes are moronic. The people there "complaining" are not the people who voted him in.

wiseowljedi.bsky.social•78 days ago

Tucson, AZ Hands off line stretched over one mile both sides of street 2 to 5 deep 4/5/25

lynnlovescali.bsky.social•78 days ago

Same.

olivethewarrior.bsky.social•78 days ago

One inch at a time, Republicans accommodate themselves to the worst of what their party represents because "other things matter more." How can they vote for a person they know to be utterly devoid of character--a failure in every sense of the word? The answer is "other things matter more."

danielrlevy88.bsky.social•78 days ago

And thus the once grand old-party got itself hoodwinked.

suecpa71.bsky.social•78 days ago

Exactly. They were all freaking warned!!!

darkpitt.bsky.social•78 days ago

I agree, but sometimes we must see the darkness to find the light

montesmom.bsky.social•78 days ago

AGREED. Also the “it won’t be that bad”….

danielrlevy88.bsky.social•78 days ago

While MAGA boiled itself down into a concentrate like Canadian maple syrup.

thatmillie.bsky.social•78 days ago

A Democrat I used to know actually told me he’s “not that bad” and “not a Nazi” to justify not voting for Biden and then later Kamala, because California and federal Ds have lost their way. 🙄 We’re no longer friends after that and related convos, but I often wonder if he sees it yet.

rockwellkirk.bsky.social•78 days ago

Yes it's maddening... We could have used this excitement and commitment last November...

adkraine.bsky.social•78 days ago

They had to actually find out that he’d do what he & Project 2025 said.
Repeatedly.

You see, the leopards really have to take a big bite out of their own their faces…

chistery1.bsky.social•78 days ago

But the post is directed to a community that voted 80.6 % for the lawyer. Don’t assume that the rest went to Trumpty Dumpety either b/c active Green Party

makeitgood.bsky.social•78 days ago

Any of those people who voted for him have no business complaining! They knew what they were voting for. They still chose to do so despite all the warnings!

lambdabeta.bsky.social•78 days ago

I think most of these people didn't vote for Trump.

2ad2quit.bsky.social•78 days ago

This is why we need universal education. It would help avoid this in the future.

chelelea.bsky.social•78 days ago

We can deal with that later. Rn we rise up. (I am right there with you though, we need to hold the line)

voca0407.bsky.social•78 days ago

My thoughts exactly! Why put him back in the WH when they knew how corrupt & immoral this guy is! We can protest everyday; BUT, IS THERE ANYONE LISTENING IN THE WH, CONGRESS & THE SENATE? Trump & his cronies believed they’re above the law! Musk still continuing his childish games w/ working ppl!

ktlj.bsky.social•78 days ago

Some of us didn’t vote for him.

jjwiorek.bsky.social•78 days ago

The majority of the ones who voted him in are not complaining. But i suspect some of the non voting group may finally be complaining

musicblues56.bsky.social•78 days ago

I never voted for his draft dodging ass, ever. We showed up LARGE against The Felon in Sacramento today and I'd bet none of the thousands there voted for his insecure lying ass either.

pgpg123.bsky.social•78 days ago

Agreed friend!! Well said. They did this to us. Now the leopards are eating their face.

riz4robot.bsky.social•78 days ago

everyone is angry

everyone deserves some blame for something

I support your right to complain and bitch

it's still a free country for now

sfshlv.bsky.social•78 days ago

Don’t group everyone into the same category. Some of voters didn’t even bother to show up to save us. Some even tried to punish VP Harris. I am not even mentioning MAGAts. Your blame should fall on the people who deserve it not all of us.

riz4robot.bsky.social•76 days ago

I'm not sure who u r replying to but I'm learning what to look for on here

sfshlv.bsky.social•78 days ago

Not everyone deserves some blame. Some of us tried our best to have the competent leader for all of us. The statistics show black female voters 92% voted for VP Harris. I have the utmost respect for them. I donated regularly every month and I wrote over 300 post cards to registered democrats.

1sleepysnorlax.bsky.social•78 days ago

Me too.

However, I’m not sold that he was legitimately voted in. Way too much momentum around Harris for him to sweep all the swing states IMO. Also, way too close with Musk who “knows those voting machines better than anyone” according to Trump.

okieforblue.bsky.social•78 days ago

You sound like Trump in 2020. KAMALA lost because Biden totally screwed up his transition. Until the republicans in DC grow a backbone we’re at this orange clowns mercy. Unfortunately the midterms in 2026 could be too late.

josparkle.bsky.social•78 days ago

I'm pissed too. However, we may find out in the near future that F45 & Musk CHEATED in the 2024 election.

jpb80.bsky.social•78 days ago

We know that, right?

cooperharley.bsky.social•78 days ago

I believe so too! He stopped campaigning at the end totally:(

blueskykate101.bsky.social•78 days ago

You understand that anyone who showed up today was very unlikely to have voted for Trump, right? 1/3 of eligible voters voted him in, and they stayed home! They are just starting to complain a little. Give it time.

joelle9606.bsky.social•78 days ago

I understand your point of view. Most of us out there actively tried to prevent this. We failed. We have to try to build our coalition and bring along others now. It’s a long road ahead.

indiagze.bsky.social•78 days ago

So heart warming to see real patriots

Aren’t we all

asheefeet.bsky.social•78 days ago

The way I see it...sure it's disappointing but wouldn't you rather people wake up late than never?

oldsoul82.bsky.social•78 days ago

Exactly. Like this is all after the fact

graceharris85.bsky.social•78 days ago

I highly doubt many of those protesting voted for him. People don’t realize how divided the country is. There are at least 2 Americas. I’m not convinced that there are that many people who voted for him who are actually”seeing the light”. We need to 86 the electoral college to get results.
