SCOTUS wouldn't implement the American Constitution otherwise Trump wouldn't have been able to be on the ballot for his involvement in the insurrection.
Because the party has not gotten the message that it’s past time to let new generations of party members run the show. They still appoint geriatrics rather than those who actually represent the young in this country
Google search shows this isn’t true. CBS has an article called history of government shutdowns, and it shows republicans weren’t always in control of the house when it happened.
Sorry if I make anyone feel old, but 30 years ago was 1994. The article goes back to 1981. After '94 it was all Rep. except Dec. 21, 2018 where the article states "House control Rep/Dem" while Wikipedia says Republicans had the house majority.😕 But I'm probably too stupid to understand US politics.🤐
She isn't any better. Every progressive piece of legislation that's died in the House like the Anti-Oil Price Gouging bill is thanks in no small part to AOC and The Squad. So fuck her. She has literally zero moral high ground.
Even more so that a bunch of her supporters voted for Trump because Kamala's economic policies couldn't be dumbed down into reductive short syllable slogans and her exploitation of their ignorance of civics caused them to act on the thought that Trump was the only choice.
And in case it wasn't clear, AIC is the one who had exploited their ignorance of civics.
People like AOC and Bernie Sanders radicalized a bunch of idiot white folks, pretend them that the problem wasn't their inaction, instead that Democrats are the problem because they can't magically fix/
/everything, pretending that ANY DEMOCRAT could fix things without a filibuster proof majority. Those scumbags are why the lie that Democrats held a super majority for 2 years persists, even though it was only for like five months and twelve days, the longest since 1977.
The GOP doesn't know how to lead or legislate. They have spent too much time breaking the government and obstructing its proper function to know how to make it work. They're really good at posturing for social media engagement. Never elect a Republican if you want to get shit done.
I've never understood why they do this. They can't have the gov't the way they want it, so they pack up their toys and go home just to spite us all?! And those that vote for them DON'T hold them to blame? #MakeItMakeSense
This one is a little different. They had a deal, but the deal included a provision that would limit Musk investments in China. The financial outcome is not very different. The regulatory out come is drastically different.
We need #AOC! Take action! Send Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia a postcard every week that he needs to resign bc you will stay resigned from being a Democrat until he leaves. You won't get off the couch until he hands over. AOC is a better communicator than him. (If you have time, ring each week!)
Exactly. Boomer here urging fellow Americans to widen the aperture. Incoming already telling us CANNOT⬇️Grocery Prices & could care less. #Resist the dividers

It's almost like the GOP likes to blackmail the American public for #GOPtaxscams for #billionaires and #corporations which amounts to 25% of the national debt at present and they're hoping to do more damage..
The GOP today is more corrupt than it ever has been! And now Trump plans on destroying the world with his drill, baby drill shit! He doesn’t give a crap about the planet and climate change or any of the humans own planet Earth. He only cares about money and more money and he’s gotta be stopped.
Congress votes on the budget not the President you rube. The President just signs off on it. You know the executive branch of government. Where as the legislative branch (the would be the House & Senate or Congress ) has to first pass the thing for the President to sign off on.
Now they want to cancel the debt ceiling so they can run-up the national debt, leave it for the next (Democrat) president, and steal as much money as they can. Trump got richer during his term. THAT for any politician should be illegal when it's taxpayers money!
Not just "when", but "because". They have no idea how to compromise or even govern, so their go-to is "shutdown". Typical spoiled bully tactic. If I don't get my way, I'll burn it all down.
Strange coincidence that, almost like they're a party of spoiled brats that think stamping their feet and shouting 'til they bust a blood vessel actually makes them look competent... 🤔
The GOP aren't there to govern effectively, they're there to prevent the government from working for anything other than the lobbyists, the wealthy, foreign interests like Russia & Saudi Arabia, and for creepy religious groups
Also for guns, they're there to make sure guns get sold & used every day
Aoc. you have had Independence for 246 years from the English Empire.
And your Congress. In all that time hasn't Written an Act. to Protect the Federal Employees of the Federal Government.
No other Country that gained Independence from that Evil Empire has allowed any party to userp the Government
The Debt Ceiling isn't something from the distant past we needed to remove. As a restrictive measure it didn't really come into being until WWII. We "fixed" it in 1975 with the Gephardt Rule, and then the GOP undid it in 1995, which caused the first of the government shutdowns.
Its a fucking disgrace that yhe disgraceful Donald J Trump and his weird tech guy Elon worked so hard to uneducate people to steal their votes for this trash 119th congress to be led by the MAGA morons it's time to deal these two pricks a heavy hand in reality by strupping them of their wealth
Immediately as these two privks get richer and richer and no one else gets paid by the federal government because of Trumpian idiotic shut down thats unacceptable its time for Trump to resign and fuck off to Moscow never to be seen or heard of again MAGA voters your conduct in voting for this
Traitor is unforgivable and you sure as hell will never be voting again as you dont fucking deserve to have that right hell you don't even deservr to be allowef guns or cars as gour domestic terrorist trash
Astonishing to see the possibility of a government's civil service shut down in a "1st world country".
Unbelievable.
There must be something fundamentally wrong with USA's government process.
Yes because the point is to get the Dems to cave to something, that works better when the GOP is in control. That's why we need to get rid of the debt ceiling. So it will be significantly harder for the GOP to do shit like this as often.
And then they have the nerve to lecture Democrats about fiscal responsibility. The GOP is the very one increasing the federal deficit so they can give tax cuts to the rich and Democrats ALWAYS have to bail them out! So don't lecture us about fiscal responsibility when they're fiscally IRRESPONSIBLE.
AND there's NO disputing the Facts. The GOP has never known how to Govern properly & seemingly this installment can only create CHAOS, and now Captain CHAOS is about the reenter the scene. Hold on to your hats, folks, things about to get WILD!
Great to point this fact out, but need to explain it in a way that people can relate to: what does a gov shutdown mean to regular people, and how it impacts their lives. Point out civil servants' lost wages, school / hospital closures, etc.
Same with recessions/depressions
Ten of the eleven U.S. recessions between 1953 and 2020 began under Republican presidents. Of these, the most statistically significant differences are in real GDP growth, unemployment rate change, stock market annual return, and job creation rate.
So why don’t democrats do a better job of advertising this? This is the same for the 50 to 1 job creation statistics that Bill Clinton brought up. DNC does not need to fix the policies it needs to fix the messaging. Instead of focusing on being anti T, focus on stuff like this.
I've said this in conversation but didn't feel right putting it online given that I'm not in the US. From the little I've seen, the democrats don't seem to know how to talk to people in a way that resonates with them so it comes across like they're talking down to them instead
We need it on posters across the USA 🇺🇸… especially in red counties.
It’s hard to get facts to them to think about. Especially farmers who watch the early Fox Farm Report & are in fields harvesting all day.

She should be given a bigger leadedship role and the DNC needs to get over their corporate cash addiction, because that got used against them (even if ignoring the glaring hypocrisy)and they need to hire a bunch of messaging coaches and social
Media directors and go on more podcasts
Alexandra..I give you permission to BITCH SLAP Mike small Johnson a few times so he knows QUEEN ALEXANDRA don't play like that. Replace that pathetic smirk of his..WITH YOUR PERMANENT PALM PRINT ON HIS SAD UGLY MUG
Voter suppression and racial gerrymandering stopped many Americans from voting! If your voting booth is closed down in your town & moved an hour away & you don't have a car or petrol money, then you don't get to vote. Many Americans had not choice about voting.
Why the Democrats (that's me too) are fading and fast: No one, NO ONE of standing in the House or Senate is "messaging"...tRUMP killed the border bill and tRUMP killed the bill to keep our Gov. open, and what that MEANS to people. SILENCE. Disgraceful. NEVER proactive always reactive.
I find it unfair that government shutdowns do not include airports, customs offices, and other functions that benefit corporations and higher strata of society. It’s a targeted hostage situation.
Die in the subway, *crickets*
Kill a CEO, Terrorism charges.
Who says govt is for the people.
It has transitioned to another branch of corporate exploitation.
Health insurance companies are murdering 1000's annually. They get rewarded millions by in government contracts and loopholes.
Take revenge on one crooked CEO and you are a terrorist!
Yep, government by the corporations for the corporations!
Comments
Or, more accurately, 99% of Americans.
lets get organized @teamaoc.bsky.social
The Dems need to install Guard Rails to prevent a fvkking rapist traitor felon from ever occupying the WH ever again.
That means update and revise the Constitution.
People like AOC and Bernie Sanders radicalized a bunch of idiot white folks, pretend them that the problem wasn't their inaction, instead that Democrats are the problem because they can't magically fix/
Once you don't care about your personal wellbeing or wealth it is hard to motivate you to change your vote with good times.
And perhaps just a TEENSY WEENSY bit of racism.
I'd love to share a beer or three with her!

As soon as Trump comes in that won't give a shit about debt.
Joe Biden should act like the POTUS and hold a news conference to explain the situation to the American people.
Republicans currently run the House but as usual they are out of control.
Anyone below $150,000:00 annually is Phucked.
