Democrats are still playing some type of long game, waiting for the next election cycle or midterms. They want to keep the independents engaged. It's a strategy that works during normal politics. It doesn't work for a government collapsing into a Technofascist state.
They're waiting for the repercussions from the public to start working. Republicans won't work with them, Trump doesn't listen to them, MAGA doesn't listen. So they're preaching to the choir unless they do virtual town halls in Red Districts. Maybe Nicolle should do better. She doesn't cover them.
Republicans are pathetic sycophants. Democrats are useless. Whatever their strategy is, it’s useless. Midterm elections won’t even exits. If Trump gained so much power in less than two months, we won’t recognize this country in 2 years! It’ll be too late!
Quite whining and actaully help. This is not the time for foolish pride, we have to use anythig in our disposal. You're melodrama is not helping at all. Work with us, not against us.
Then we'd better move fast and quickly. At this point, we just need to work together. And do the right stragedy. Time is fragile and we need to use it wisely.
This I agree with. We should be protesting locally and nationally. Support your local leaders. Support dynamic leaders who are out spreading the good wood - Sanders, Crockett, Cortez, Al Green. Also help people in your community. I try and volunteer once a week with the groups I’m part of.
In order to get out of this mess, we have to work togeher, not against each other. The truth is the GOP controls all branches of government, so the Democrats can't do anything at the moment. We don't know what's going to happen in 2 years, still we have to vote Blue. And we need to give it our all.
I am starting to feel as though our elected democrat representatives are complicit in the dismantling of our government, with the exception of a few. Standing down is NOT an option. Do something. Be LOUD, be DISRUPTIVE!
Some have been bought like the ten who voted to censure and eject Al Green Monday night! Others are cowards & just fearful! Some are happy about what’s going on. They really don’t support democratic values! The rest are only thing about themselves like promoting books and stuff like that!
Apparently there needs to be an account on here that runs the Schoolhouse Rock cartoons 24/7 so they can teach people about the powers of each chamber of government.
Do people really think that if they chained themselves to the door of USAID or CFPB that somehow this would make a difference?
Same question I've had for a month, and I AM a Canadian. Obama, Clinton X 2 in a truly concerted, unified coalition of the current Democrats holding bi-weekly real-world protests in ALL the major U.S. cities -- ever-building/non-stop - til it reaches the TIPPING POINT! SO disappointing all this YAK!
The Tech Brothers (Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos et al) end game is plutocracy. They helped Donald Trump to win the elections. Do you think that Schumer and Jeffries leading the DEM in the frontlines will save our democracy? Where are the DEM generals Kamala Harris, Biden, Obama, Clinton?
They need to get off their asses and start doing their jobs. The free press is whats always held politicians feet to the fire, without that, nobody will get anything done.
If they are afraid of the administration muzzling them, he’s already succeeded.
Fighting what Trump and Musk are doing every day, e.g., over 100 court cases. Of course, Trump has the legal right to do a lot of damage to people here in America and worldwide. These actions can be exposed and documented but if 77 million Americans think they are ok there is not much anyone can do.
The Heritage Society released the full text of the Project 2025 document in April of 2023. The Democratic party should have immediately started planning on how to combat it during the campaign and should Trump be elected. I see no signs that they did this. Why not?
and heaven forbid we mock republicans… facts, logic, conversation don’t do the trick. The only thing that does is mocking their stupid worldviews and absurd beliefs.
I found one!! Senator Chris Murphy of CT bringing the receipts! When he lays it out like this, these 20 acts of Elon Musk and Donald Trump's corruption in the first 6 weeks form quite the picture! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hycoCYenXls&t=1734s
The UK has a "loyal opposition". It has a shadow cabinet. One of the bonuses is that any government policy/statement has these politicians publicly responding, visibly and in real time, to government actions. Democrat opposition is weak and not seen by Trump cult members. Your Republic is in danger
Yelling at the ones who stood up to the president the other night.
I am a strong Dem. but so disappointed in Hakeem Jeffries and Schumer. I swear that they're as afraid of Trump as the Republicans.
It's time to get really tough, really mean, and really LOUD. faux newz is good at ridicule and shame. The left has to do the same to them. It's so not in our nature, and they know it. Somehow make them see the truth; they embrace the lies with gusto. Faux is responsible for this mess.
I surfed over briefly to faux at the start of their 8 PM show. It literally hurts. We are so divided, fractured.
With all the big brains in Hollywood, seems some sort of media saturation could do something. Anything. But many of the big players are all in with this nightmare dictatorship. Ugh.
The ones in congress are checking their bank accounts while sitting in their doctor’s offices because they have healthcare and guaranteed income. For life.
Gavin just hosted Charlie Kirk on a new podcast. He allowed him to slam Dems, offer advice, and apologized like a baby.
I'm very, very sad because Newsom was my guy in 2020. 😭
We need an alternative. Democrats still play a game that doesn’t work for everyone and isn’t fair and isn’t finding solution quickly enough. I keep asking google, what is post-capitalism?
Negotiating their crypto share on the next pyramid Ponzi scheme that Trump and his musk shithead are trying to accomplish by ruining the US dollar. They're all on the same team when it comes to big money. Crypto is the next, and last, grift of regular civilians.
A national resistance movement needs leadership. Democrats can't fight an authoritarian regime in a Republican Congress. We no longer have a democracy.
They’re somewhere discussing their next devastatingly polite and ruthlessly respectful protest; sources are saying it may involve paper mache and/or dry- macaroni pictures and others are saying that yellow might convey their dissatisfaction a shade stronger than pink, but not too much stronger…
truth their need to be leadership out everyday on air talking about the trump musk disaster. providing alternatives everyday next 4 years @kenmartin.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov crickets why afraid to go head to head w trump n musk.
They need to be holding town halls to get people revved up. Telling regular folks they will fight to block tax cuts for the rich. Fight to lower prices since that is off the republican agenda now.
@doggett.house.gov is out here in Austin often, listening to people and doing his best. Just met him today, and he is involving citizens as much as possible to help win these upcoming house races. He's fired up and ticked off on our behalf.
The Democrats are easily recognizable. Just look for the Congress members with their heads up their asses, hoping and praying that no one asks them to do anything.
That’s the problem. Their messaging SUCK. We shouldn’t have to rely on some soul on Bluesky to find out.
That’s why they lose elections. They sat back & allowed Republicans to trash them with inflation instead of promoting inflation was worldwide & Biden guided us to the best economy in the world.

Stop thinking about them.

Democratic voters looking for Democrat officials to do something.

They need to be working overtime and lace up those pink sneakers and get out there and DO THEIR JOB!
What a joke! A devil was given the keys back to the White house!
People will hurt and suffer and the Dems are not doing much.
How dare the Democrats? But not where are the Republicans???

They’re representing “the Third Way” and AIPAC, on behest of tRump
