Dems share an underlying class solidarity that transcends partisan politics. Our political elites are so out of touch with everyday Americans they are already capitulating like losers with “bipartisanship” promises to fascist billionaires.

meghanclare.bsky.social•34 days ago

like, posting or ? I mean what exactly is the “resistance” right now? Rather than paying for more dull dumb content that soothed people and didn’t stop second Trump term let’s pay ppl to come up with catchy five word slogans

Why would they fight against their fellow travelers? Against a movement that so largely reflects the values of most of the DNC?*

I wish I had your mindset that that is the thing keeping liberals from power. After all the abject horrors of conservatism in broad daylight, decade after decade and us still being out of power…. I am out of pocket for blaming anyone other than ourselves for not showing up

rocinatereturns.bsky.social•34 days ago

Even when in power any resistance the Dems just give up

meckafoxgirl.bsky.social•33 days ago

Stop voting for their genocidal candidates then, literally the least that can be done to hold them to account

michaelfehr.bsky.social•34 days ago

Make that the evils of fascism. A two party system is not democratic.

Explain Fetterman to me. That "switch" was soooo disappointing.

The Democratic party should be finished after this, just like the Whigs after 1852. Personally, I have no plans to vote Democratic in the future.

massdisillusion.bsky.social•34 days ago

I find myself suddenly furious with Biden fire not finishing Trump. America's Hitler was his biggest priority.

FAIL

onesparkfire.bsky.social•34 days ago

Imagine how I felt after there were no consequences for what Bush did in Iraq. "Time to move forward." I am in a mood about this and I am never going to forgive Democrats who voted with him and have learned nothing.

theblobert.bsky.social•34 days ago

“But decorum” etc.

nathanplante.bsky.social•34 days ago

Me when a leading member of the DNC claims we "need decorum and bipartisanship with a strong Republican Party":

umanoid.bsky.social•34 days ago

Good. Me too. I didn't pay enough attention to how feckless they were under Bush. I just hated Bush. I noticed very quickly under Trump though. Not only feckless but complicit.

lancasterrhodes.bsky.social•34 days ago

Hell yes, my brother. I've watched incredulously as the Dems have rolled over time and again to push our nation backwards. What we have to show for the last 45-50 years is the rollback of reproduction rights and a healthcare act written by insurance companies. Truly sad.

dangillotte.bsky.social•34 days ago

AMEN

tzipshmil.bsky.social•34 days ago

I’ve been following you for years over the other place, because you speak for me most of the time. I’m glad you don’t give up because I kinda did.

figment2.bsky.social•34 days ago

Why aren't you listing MSM as the primary cause of the problems? ALL OF THE MEDIA worshipped at tRump's feet, refusing to call out LIES as LIES, etc.

wengerplz.bsky.social•34 days ago

Because the media is absolutely not the primary cause. They are a secondary or tertiary cause. The failures of the Democratic party are far and away the primary cause

figment2.bsky.social•34 days ago

Do you consider Faux Noise part of MSM?

wengerplz.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yes. Also, you can say Fox News, it's really okay. "Faux Noise" is embarrassing

dcscottusa.bsky.social•34 days ago

Barb you're not wrong, but also the MSM called out his lies for years, thousands of them, and dominant right wing media said it was the MSM that was lying, and the majority of voters believed them.

figment2.bsky.social•34 days ago

He ‘ misspoke, misunderstood, equivocated, etc. But never said “HE LIED!”

dcscottusa.bsky.social•34 days ago

It was widely and frequently reported in the MSM. Right wing media and his voters don't care. Trump’s false or misleading claims total 30,573 over 4 years

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/24/trumps-false-or-misleading-claims-total-30573-over-four-years/

figment2.bsky.social•34 days ago

False or misleading do not equal the word LIE!

dcscottusa.bsky.social•34 days ago

Fair point but would it have made a difference? His voters like the lies.

pjeanne97.bsky.social•34 days ago

Many Dems are helping by going along with so much

figment2.bsky.social•34 days ago

Which Dems and going along with what? We have to be specific if we are going to call out things!

pjeanne97.bsky.social•34 days ago

The ones who’ve been talking about how they look forward to working with Rs. The one who attended this inauguration.

figment2.bsky.social•34 days ago

Be specific. How can we know who to primary and for what reason they should be primaried. Just saying the whole party is at fault is useless.

aclieberman.bsky.social•33 days ago

"Conservatism?"

markfsu.bsky.social•34 days ago

I feel this is the time for a democrat to emerge going full resistance/opposition to really distinguish themselves. We know its not going to be any of the senior dems on the hill. I don't know who is ready to step up, maybe AOC? Whoever it is will have the jump on 2028.

wengerplz.bsky.social•34 days ago

The only problem is the corpse of Nancy Pelosi still has a grudge against AOC. She'd rather the Dem party continue to flail than let one of the most promising and influential young Dems ascend the ranks

onebritinthelou.bsky.social•34 days ago

You are too hard on cricket fans (and on the occasional dissent) but you have always been one of my absolute favorite follows.

owillis.bsky.social•34 days ago

But it’s so boring lol thanks

homeys4.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yes!

shadenightingale.bsky.social•34 days ago

That’s because democrats *are* a Conservative Party, they just seem more reasonable because the GOP is insane. The Dems establishment are increasingly out of phase with their voters, more concerned with “decorum” and pleasing their wealthy voters. Many of the same donors also support GOPers.

realwuzzy.bsky.social•34 days ago

IMHO, not only do the Dems not fight hard enough, they also don't didn't the right way. They're doing all the wrong stuff. They do this when they should be doing that or the other. Also there are too many sclerotic dinosaurs in leadership.

owillis.bsky.social•34 days ago

if all you want is seal clapping about how awesome and defiant the dems are, this is not the account to follow. if you want someone who believes in america and wants representation that fights for the american dream and will tell you what i truly think, welcome.

tanzinavega.bsky.social•34 days ago

Go!
