I like Sen Klobuchar, but there is no common ground with fascists. None.

Throw sand in the gears.

"It is very clear that, if there is a middle of all of this hot mess of division, Americans want us to work together when we can and find common ground," Sen. Amy Klobuchar tells the Opinion writer Michelle Cottle.

Work with traitors and cowards??? Out of respect for your page I will refrain from posting my real feelings.

ind84124.bsky.social•140 days ago

Nope. No way. Klobuchar just lost my respect and vote in any future national campaign she may launch. You don’t come to nuclear war with an olive branch. Fuck common ground.

amessner.bsky.social•140 days ago

This “bipartisanship” and “working together” nonsense has to stop. Republicans - especially Trump and his toadies - don’t do anything in good faith. You can’t work with them. You just have to shut them down.

pilotpip.bsky.social•139 days ago

This is no different than Schumer crying about the rules. The rules are being ignored. Law is being discarded. There is no common ground with traitors.

juneclever.bsky.social•139 days ago

Sen Klobuchar just went to the top of my list of reps to call today.

We don’t want to work with oligarchs. We want them to be stopped. Full stop.

popuppy.bsky.social•140 days ago

She does not represent my values, common ground with Nazis is so not ok

embeesee.bsky.social•140 days ago

Exactly! It’s like someone asking you to find common ground with an attacker while they’re beating the shit out of you. Where’s the common ground in that?

tonysarris.bsky.social•140 days ago

I like Sen Klobuchar & believe her to be a good person. As a moderate Democrat, I used to share her view. But there is almost no one left in the GOP who is a moderate to find common ground with. Under MAGA the GOP is almost without exception no longer a group we can do anything other than oppose.

bigearsmurray.bsky.social•140 days ago

Yes! There is no tolerance for fascism or any of the other "values" embodied by the Maga crowd. Stand your ground and defend democracy.

tomwvv.bsky.social•140 days ago

Has it occurred to these Democrats that we don’t want to find common ground with fucking Nazis?

cookielo.bsky.social•139 days ago

Klobuchar is an appeaser and a disappointment.

benjkrause.bsky.social•139 days ago

There is no middle ground when it comes to Nazis, fascists, and tyrants.
They were defeated before, they MUST be defeated again.

hecateri.bsky.social•139 days ago

Absolutely not. No. I will never seek common ground with Nazis, supporters of Nazis, or apologists of Nazis, or sympathizers of Nazis. Fascism is a moral failure, whether in politics or religion. Hard no.

doomandgloom1951.bsky.social•140 days ago

There is no common ground between decent people and nazis. Fight them tooth and nail. Or watch this country vanish into a cesspool of violence and corruption.

sameastheold.bsky.social•140 days ago

This is just a rerun of that same tired "pivot to the right" strategy that panicked Democrats go through after every election loss. That is why they are so quiet right now. They are not planning ways to prevent Trump from damaging the country, they are basically focus grouping for future elections.

robertm700.bsky.social•139 days ago

Every Dem on the Sunday shows should label Trump/Musk what they are: Fascist.
And if Americans are ok with that so be it.

This “common ground” approach is not an effective strategy for dealing with far-right authoritarianism. We must uncompromisingly oppose the hateful MAGA agenda and push a bold anti-authoritarian left vision. This “centrist” Democrat stuff is out of touch with reality.

There is No. Common. Ground. With. Nazis. Sen Klobuchar sounds like she’s going to write a sternly worded letter to management.

Way too much money and power to lose. The current Democratic Party has completely lost their ability to listen to their constituents. They’re there to line their own pockets now and they’re grasping on to anything to stay “safe.” They need a complete overhaul
