I'd like to see more visibility from the House and Senate Dems in the leadership. They are way too passive right now.

I really would like to think that my blue state governor would rise to the occasion but I don’t trust him to.

Some Dem House members just signed on to a letter of support for ICE. They’re still stuck in polling/focus group fantasy land and completely ignorant to the reality of the situation unfolding on the ground.

This plant has more of a spine than a majority of our established leadership, and the wind is blowing it tf over (the plants fine, at least it’s rooted)

Current Dem leadership is pot-committed to bringing a mealy-mouthed social media post (not even a strongly-worded letter!) to a gun fight.

Surely, another social media post or retirement home visit will convince Trump to reverse course.

Oh they’re VISIBLE all right - my phone and email are clogged with fundraising pleas.

Why would a puppet opposition give up its pay day?

roryrox.bsky.social•5 days ago

Well with the regime arresting the opposition now, we're well past political solutions. People need to get united and start raising real hell.

Too bad the elite have been fomenting tribalism and disunity for so long, can a broad coalition really organize and work together? Divided we fell

How about Obama and Bush? If the threat is real why stay silent. Trump is blowing up norms, why stay polite?

Most of them are more the, "Let's go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over." types.

Also Buttigieg. He’s just a private citizen now and has nothing better to do (except raise his kid I guess, but that’s lame).

Or maybe some former U.S presidents would be of use right now😡

I get the frustration, but personally I wish democrats broadly would just be able to move on as well. I’ve gotten the impression for years that the Obama’s weren’t interested in further public service, but dems keep worshipping them anyway. Like, come on, grow, evolve, adapt, change. But they don’t.

There are more ex-presidents than just him.

At this point, that’d just be Joe, W, and Bill, each of which may as well have one foot in the grave with average age of 80. Now I’d love to see these guys together trash talking Trump, but I’m doubtful Americans broadly have much fervor for that. They’re still shitting on Biden’s age even now.

Visibility, yes - agreed.
As far as tangible actions... well, America voted to remove them from power. So the country chose this unfortunately. I think those of who are alarmed are outnumbered by the hateful and the apathetic.
