A party will never be everything for everybody, but I'm proud to vote dem when the alternative is R.
Rs got us here and we should be united in opposition. They didn't like drump but they united around him & that strength attracted more votes. I stand w Ds to give them strength to beat Rs back.

I still feel good about being a democrat. It’s still the right choice and it is still not our fault we are in this mess. This is fully created by the GOP.

Yea, we need new leadership, but we are not the ones fucking up right now.

That is the republicans.

I would like to see #AdamSchiff take the lead in the Senate (he’s smart & a fighter) and In the House, my favorites are @raskin.house.gov @aoc.bsky.social and @repjasmine.bsky.social We need passionate leaders who are brave & fearless! Now let’s #RemoveTrump & Musk

I certainly don't. I feel used and abused quite frankly. I've shelled out a shitton of cash to support Dems in my state, states I don't even reside in, and several presidential races. Not another penny will I take out of my meager bank account to support those whose testicles have retracted.

Thank you for this thread. 💙

the-goddess-speaks.bsky.social•52 days ago

Thank you for this, Christopher. You’re absolutely right. We can say it respectfully as you do here, and honor the real contributions Schumer has made to the party and country. But he isn’t the right leader for this fight, and he would model humility and wisdom by stepping down for the greater good.

Dems need to organize in the heartland’s red districts. @sanders.senate.gov & @aoc.bsky.social need to do town halls in small towns in W. Virginia, N. Carolina, the Deep South, and so on. Bring the message to the poor rural areas.

In America 2.0, these are changes I’d like to see:
💥Minimum wage of $20/hr., tied to inflation
💥 Right to privacy amendment
💥 No salary over $1M/year
💥 Ratify ERA amendment
💥 All corporations are B Corporations
💥 Teacher pay $50k/yr, no class over 25 students
💥 Grow a garden, pay lower taxes……

His interview on Chris Hayes last week was horrendous. He was talking about strategies from 2017! Chris could barely contain himself.

matthew1of2.bsky.social•51 days ago

This is all rhetorical, but I listen to left voices and it is this all day long, how are our paid strategists and the politicians who hire them not hearing this as well?
It's obvious how much we support our fighters, why isn't the leadership listening? 🤦‍♂️😢 of frustration.

matthew1of2.bsky.social•51 days ago

I should specify, what I said in my post was rhetorical, NOT the post I responded to.

hkishigobenese.bsky.social•50 days ago

Proud Democrat here, always. Agree 💯 about Schumer, he needs to step aside. He can on his book tour, don’t protest-boycott. Let him step aside with a squeak.
#TeamChrisMurphy

crazy4sherman.bsky.social•52 days ago

spot on. I'm so frustrated with democrats in congress right now it makes me want to not vote at all - they're lucky the alternative is so crazy out of control that's not an option. #dosomething #constitutionalcrisis #rightnow

slaii.bsky.social•52 days ago

Let’s be clear this bottom up reform MUST start by primaring those 10 Democratic law makers who voted to censure their colleague.

trishdem.bsky.social•52 days ago

This dem is with you 💯

n1ghtmarica.bsky.social•52 days ago

A "Party that Fights" Fascism--not just "fights among itself"

"Strong Bold Leadership" that hopefully has accommodations for strategy--which doesn't always appear "strong and bold"--to everyone, but is still effective and important.

Strategy seems important.

Thank you, Christopher, for speaking plainly.

I am totally with you on this.

Trump MAGA Government Plan:

Lie to stupid, gullible people
Threaten it
Defund it
Gut it
Wreck it
Then rob it

miriamborne.bsky.social•52 days ago

Yes we need all of this to fight and defeat the forces of Evil funneling through this GOP

mamarenee4.bsky.social•51 days ago

I would like to see the fire and plain speaking that @governorwalz.mn.gov brought to the campaign trail, to the halls of Congress. Chris Murphy, Jon Ossof, Pete Buttigieg, Jasmine Crockett -all have that fire, and the credibility to lead.

spikerk01.bsky.social•52 days ago

Well WHERE’S THE FIGHT?
Nobody has seen any fight.
YOU LET THIS HAPPEN!

mlfairfield.bsky.social•52 days ago

My husband and I are always proud to call ourselves members of the Democratic Party - whatever it looks like at the time. Please stop with the frickin' hate messages. We are also WE THE PEOPLE! We are both veterans USN.

pjshorr1.bsky.social•52 days ago

We the people are showing up and leadership isn’t. So I ask as just a simple person: what is the plan? Is there one? I am not sure there is. Even the democratic leadership isn’t showing up to SRO town halls where they are absent. Not a winning plan.

roccafella07.bsky.social•52 days ago

I get requests all day from them begging for donations I am not giving another dime to this party. I need change

observerbs.bsky.social•52 days ago

I feel better about being a Democrat than I feel about being an American

timsroot.bsky.social•52 days ago

I vote Democrat because I agree with their stances more than the other party, but I don't generally align with the mainstream Democratic platform. Your political identity shouldn't be as a member of a party. Take your own stances and vote for the candidates who align with them.

timsroot.bsky.social•52 days ago

Don't just take talking points from a party platform, unless they align with your principles and opinions

sherreew.bsky.social•52 days ago

I don’t feel good about this party at all. We desperately need a leadership change … now. There is too much at stake to keep things as they are. We need a more progressive agenda (not hardcore) that will appeal to people to get out and help rebuild a stronger more forward thinking party. My 2 cents.

jimmywords.bsky.social•51 days ago

I hear you and agree we needed new leadership yesterday, but disenchanted democrats elected Donald Trump twice, period. We are masters of the circular firing squad.

jimmywords.bsky.social•51 days ago

VS what?

montanapug.bsky.social•52 days ago

Schumer is the wrong person as are a lot of the leadership for what we are dealing with now, they need to step aside and let the fighters in the party lead!

futureme2034.bsky.social•52 days ago

Apparently an unpopular stance (based on comments) but yesterday an older woman confided in me that her lawyer husband said she could not make her feelings about the failure of the DNC when they forced Biden as our only loyalty choice. And it made her day to have me full heartedly agree. FTS

vorhees33.bsky.social•50 days ago

Agree ! Democratic Party leadership has guided our party without insight, strength or a real plan to help & support the most needy, nor have they focused on goals to help the working class. We definitely need new, brighter, younger, visionary leadership if our party is going to
remain viable.

lanative.bsky.social•52 days ago

A lot more is needed to revitalize the party besides Sen Schumer stepping down from leadership. And while I admire and support AOC and Sen Sanders taking up the fight, the answer will not be to move as far left as most of their positions.

putawomanincharge.bsky.social•52 days ago

I am happy to be a Democrat.
We need new blood.
And no one should serve more than two terms. They become corrupt.

christylgo.bsky.social•51 days ago

One of my friends went online the night of the vote and changed her party membership to independent. It's not a big protest because she'll still vote Democrat, but it sends a message if enough people in ny do that.

aldenpyle.bsky.social•52 days ago

Pretty much everyone I know who used to be proud of being a Democrat...still is.

gottastory.bsky.social•52 days ago

I re-registered as an Independent until leadership changes let DC leadership know why

marcgrambo.bsky.social•52 days ago

If I were asked about my approval or disapproval of the Dem party I’d be solidly in disapproval. I’d like to think every democrat would feel the same.

donnieapple.bsky.social•52 days ago

I do. But we’re not organized enough. This election threw us for a tailspin.
