Sometimes, you just gotta fight even if you don't know what's going to happen.

jacksquatto.bsky.social•62 days ago

Listen if I'm ever killing somebody smacking them over the head with the bell end of a cast iron pipe I sure as s*** hope you walk into the room because you're going to grab the thing out of my hand and put your fingerprints on it. That's your proposal fantastic. 🙏

American Democracy has lost the Presidency, the Supreme Court, the Senate, the Congress and the opposition. The American people are the last recourse.

blackthom.bsky.social•62 days ago

Yes! Get him out!

magdamoran.bsky.social•62 days ago

OMG...YES...FIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE 🤔 How many times and how many ways do We The People have to communicate this??!!!

rfischoff.bsky.social•62 days ago

Don't expect much from "Surrender Schumer". He should resign immediately but he has neither the courage nor integrity to do even that.

sohieagle.bsky.social•62 days ago

History will look back on the CR vote as a “they should have seen it coming” moment for the country. Right up there with the burning of the Reichstag.

It will always be, inexplicably, that they gave him a blank check on the budget, government, and power.

The Democratic Party is dominated by the privileged elites and the old guard establishment. They are so involved in maintaining their own privileged social and financial positions they do not recognize immediacy of the threat.

d-elroy.bsky.social•62 days ago

Fight everywhere. Fight hard. Make them struggle for every inch.
Lets face it either democracy is under threat or it's not. And if it is, let me make myself clear;

EVERY TOOL NEEDS TO BE USED ALL THE TIME. EVERYWHERE.

You don't get to play silly buggers.

barbarag-ky.bsky.social•62 days ago

Schumer’s Surrender Will Always Be Remembered!! America/Democracy is swirling the drain and Schumer doesn’t give a sh*t! He needs to retire or be primaried!!!

shesbluestrong.bsky.social•62 days ago

Yes I agree. Rolling over just makes their goals more easily attainable! Fight now and fight for what is right!

indigoblue840.bsky.social•62 days ago

I did laugh my ass off this morning when I watched your podcast and you showed a picture of trumps hand and said how Trump was decomposing right in front of us. Lmao!

experimental22.bsky.social•62 days ago

If Schumer is still the leader at the end of today, then we know the Democratic Party is not serious. Alternatives will have to be created.

markuslam.bsky.social•62 days ago

I hope Democrats grow a spine and vote against this insanity that Republicans are doing. No budget would force (I hope) Republicans to work with Democrats to get a resolution that works for all.

barbied1.bsky.social•62 days ago

Yes Ben!

liberals4liberty.bsky.social•62 days ago

It’s time to chuck Chuck.

liberals4liberty.bsky.social•62 days ago

Democrats lose because they capitulate. Corporate dems support “centrist” policies that no one wants. They label “progressives” radical which is what we all want! And what they call radical means fighting for our democracy.

chevski84.bsky.social•62 days ago

Thanks Ben!! You overtook Rogan for the #1 pod. Your influence is very important. I’m really glad you said that!!

mysterysolvent.bsky.social•62 days ago

Ben, you should call out Sen Gary Peters, MI. His yes vote can absolutely be changed. This is off brand for him.

cornell5877.bsky.social•62 days ago

Not only that, he is retiring!!! He should be an easy NO on cloture.

catmantoo.bsky.social•62 days ago

Chuck Schumer reminds me of Merrick Garland. He is that weak.

spatula8.bsky.social•62 days ago

Republicans do a series of things every day that would make them UNELECTABLE if Democrats knew how to exploit their malfeasance.

But no, Dems are afraid to kill a horrible GOP bill because somehow this will play badly for Dems. 😖

Has ANY Dem mentioned that Musk is a full-blown Nazi lately?

Putin could not design an asset to install as opposition leader who would be better for him than Chuck. Here’s Chuck’s name in Russian for your convenience: Чак Шумер

buffysagesayer.bsky.social•62 days ago

totally agree. fight back or let the whole thing crumble.

lightthepower.bsky.social•62 days ago

Am I naive to think that the solution here is for Dems to author their own CR (or amendments to the one currently with Senate) & demand R’s sign it (otherwise shutdown happens).

It would make it easy for Dems to point to a solution for America & blame GOP for shutdown.

Just wondering….

mldunigan.bsky.social•62 days ago

Hi Ben. I'm listening to you on YouTube right now. Thanks for your input.

joshuajerk.bsky.social•62 days ago

All of us that are upset , are the very heart of this party , this movement , It hurts so bad that or leadership stabs us so much . You cant live without your fucking heart ! You cant live with all the money in the world .

@meiselasb.bsky.social perhaps showing this on the network would remind folks to get out there!

bluebanditjim.bsky.social•62 days ago

I am sending a message to Chuck. I just donated $1 to AOC's ActBlue campaign site. Maybe New York needs a new senator? Do you think enough people will send a message by sending a dollar? Worth a try?

Schumer is not voting with all of the protesters that have shown up for our country.

Instead he’s going to be protested against.

How disgraceful

Should have been voted out years ago

stadler91.bsky.social•62 days ago

100% spot on. The time for Democrats taking the high ground to avoid controversy should be over. That's how we got here.

globalfixer.bsky.social•62 days ago

Well said Ben!!

blowfeld.bsky.social•62 days ago

The thing about Schumer is the betrayal. If it had been an honest disagreement about strategy there could be reasons for that. But he tried to pull a scam to fool D voters and cover his cave. Then he was found out. There’s no coming back from that.

That they can’t see a shutdown as an opportunity to do round robins across the country and do town halls in Republican districts highlighting that this is caused by Republicans and the damage done just shows they’ve lost their way.

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.

zenny1.bsky.social•62 days ago

I am angry too, but Dems letting the govt shut down now will likely shift all the blame away from Trump/Musk tanking our economy with Tariffs, shit policy, etc & give them a weapon to start blaming the Dems instead? Why not Let them sink themselves!
