If life were fair, we would always let Republicans win and always let democrats govern. The Republicans could wander and strut around DC in various hats and badges like the mindless twerps they are—and Democrats would do what they have done very well for a century: The people’s business.
I have been wondering this and expressing the same thought for some time. I fear it has to do with lack of spine and the knowledge that large parts of America are behind Trump. I don’t think there will be much of a public outcry in America.
The media has convinced to public not to trust them. MSM leans conservative so accept the grain of salt Trump, MAGA & the GOP has said w/o back out for yrs. The trickdown never wrkd. No one knows what they mean by waste & fraud. Public service [email protected] @senatedem.bsky.social
Sombody from the GOP perhaps? Or is nobody left at all?
All down in a mouse hole waiting for November 2028 and hoping that the twenty-second amendment will save us and the US.
Nope.
I saw very good posts of Bernie Sanders, Chris Murphy, Elisabeth Warren
and others. Chris Murphy prduces daily posts (1-2 minutes talk) to show what is going on...
🤷🏼♀️I’ve voted for the Dems for 50 yrs, still waiting for them to STAND UP! 🙄
🤔 Maybe Dems could get rich progressives to DONATE so TheDemocrats can build AFFORDABLE HOUSING nationwide! Instead of old style wasteful campaigns. Get young people involved. 🇺🇸
The question is (and the possible answer is frightening): Would it have any impact, if they react? With the GOP embracing this bully behaviour, major media in the hands of collaborators - maybe the Clintons and Obamas should consider to buy nice houses outside their home country.
It’s time for republicans and democrats along with independents to get together whatever their differences and fight against the ruling fascist regime in USA 🇺🇸 . It is only a matter of time before stooge 47 turns the 🇺🇸military on the people, Wake up land of the free home of the brave.
nancy pelosi und ein paar andere US-politiker haben wohlfeile worte bei X gepostet.
ist ja nicht so, dass sie zu den SEHR WENIGEN menschen auf der welt gehören, die tatsächlich etwas tun könnten. dann lieber bei musks website folgenlos quatsch schreiben.
I appreciate there’s some protocol around an ex-POTUS not criticising the actions of the incumbent: but these are NOT normal times. This regime is a danger to everyone and yet the silence from those with the stature to make a meaningful challenge is deafening & cowardly.
The dems and voters are not the ones that need convincing. MAGA voters need to find some humanity and conscience. Dems can’t do that and will likely drive a further wedge
They elected the guy (ok 50% of them). But the reality is that they were reckless enough to put him back in office. So they probably don’t see the problem..
This has been the most mystifying thing since the beginning last month: where are Clinton, Obama, W Bush, Cheney, Gore - the entire sane political class of the USA with the joint statement that becomes ever more urgent by the minute?
Total failure since inauguration. They could really show where they shine and invite president Zelensky. Totally unbelievable that there is no life left in the Democrats at all.
Can't decide if they are waiting for Trump to combust so that the voters see what they voted for, or, whether they are genuinely fearful of speaking up.
I'm afraid they think it's wise to just observe the chaos that Trump is causing everywhere so that they can assign full responsibility to him. But if they continue to watch any longer, they will be guilty of failing to provide assistance.
Maybe they’d care to comment on what the collapse of the Western Alliance will do to the price of groceries. Their consultants are telling them that’s the only thing that matters.
Never interrupt your enemy whilst they are making a mistake!
Trump won the popular vote and the people who elected him need to see him fail on his own terms with no "but the Democrats/Deep State blocked me" excuses!
In the UK Brexit happened because of a popular vote. It had been the disaster that anybody with half a brain could have predicted. The public increasingly see it that way.
This is how democracies work. Mistakes happen. People need to learn (often the hard way). Mistakes then get corrected!
Danke, genau die gleiche Frage stellt sich mir auch.
Warten sie darauf, dass es erst schlimmer werden muss, bevor es besser wird (Trumps Zustimmung steigt noch)?
Oder wissen, dass es bereits zu spät ist, weil der Supreme Court Trump schützen wird?
Das Schweigen ist entsetzlich! Wo sind die Demokraten? Wer organisiert aktiven Widerstand? Welcher Staatsanwalt erkennt Hochverrat u handelt entsprechend. Von hier aus hat man den Eindruck, das Land ist mittels vergifteter Spule in einen hundertjährigen Schlaf gefallen!
It’s bizarre to see the utter fecklessness of most of the (former) leadership of this party (with some exceptions from the broader party) Truly, I have no words.
Auf Insta posten die Obamas Wohlfühl Content und ich frage mich: werden die bedroht? Das ist doch irre, dass von denen nix kommt. Während Bernie Sanders tapfer durchs Land tourt und versucht die Zivilgesellschaft zu mobilisieren. Just don’t get it
It’s strong tradition in the US for retired presidents not to be active in current affairs outside of active election seasons. But they must break this precedent. Emergencies call for action. Obama has the most power but he is a great respecter of tradition. Someone needs to wake him up!
Sorry do you mean American citizens? Because there are protests all the time. There was a big one yesterday, even. It’s just that they never report on it.
I think you're looking in the wrong direction. They are the past. It is the job of current and future leaders to speak now. Are they up to the task? A fair question.
It's up to you! You have to understand that people changes their politics, not politicians!! Stand up and defend democracy together with all other democratic people all over the world. You are not alone
Oh that old crank. He’s free to speak because nobody cares what he says. He’s passed one bill in his lifetime and it’s to rename a post office. He’s not going to save us.
Neither do I care about Vermont nor Canada.
But Sanders is a correct guy and obviously elected by the people there.
I feel like Vermont has not much in common with red states. Do you trust the union? Now?
What exactly are you expecting them to do, with both chambers and the Supreme Court on Trump's side, and apparently not one of the pro-Ukrainian Republicans daring to speak up ? If/while MAGA delights in this absurdity, speaking up without power would only encourage them to keep "owning the libs"
What did you expect? they are politicians after all, they dont have the power anymore whatever they said means nothing have no influence and only thing that would do its create more division between americans. wait after 4 years when it matters until then america choose this now have to deal with it

I’m so disappointed in them..
What does Trump have on him?😡😡😡
They're aligned with Republicans even if on the surface they signal their virtues.

(Well, at least the half that didn’t vote for that?)
But more important:
Where is people on the streets?
Where is public uproar?

Where are the TV spots? Harris-Walz built a BILLION DOLLAR war chest. It's time NOW to start the effort for the mid-terms.
Where are the commercials? Primetime should be awash in ads about what's happening. NOW.
Getting MSNBC to do all of your messaging is not working, folks...
This one is on the Republicans.
Also, there are thousands, millions of others who are not concerned by this tradition. Where are they?
But Sanders is a correct guy and obviously elected by the people there.
