These are not normal times and yet they are following norms.

Thank you for saying this. We need them

bluebev.bsky.social•10 days ago

Most Democratic leadership are MIA. We are on our own.

thunnyd.bsky.social•11 days ago

Maybe you should be asking where the Dems are who are actually in government right now.

dot819.bsky.social•10 days ago

It’s maddening.

pineapplebrz.bsky.social•11 days ago

It’s absolutely mind boggling and maddening. For Biden screaming about the threat to democracy Mango Mussolini is, he has never once acted like it. The Dems norms themselves to death.

imcbears2.bsky.social•11 days ago

And just what are they supposed to do? Half of this nation remains cultish, hateful or just plain ignorant. Their work is done. They can’t save us. Only we can now.

vg-plus.bsky.social•11 days ago

They tried to tell us. Repeatedly, in fact. What exactly do we want them to do? "Condemn" this? That's textbook norms. I don't have any real need to hear that. For what purpose? It changes absolutely nothing. The people who hold office now are failing us. Not Biden, Obama or Harris.

branedamag.bsky.social•10 days ago

I'll criticize them. Former presidents (especially) have a big platform for life. They need to use it. And you know hearing it from Obama will really trigger them, because, you know...

truthseekercg.bsky.social•10 days ago

Biden and Harris are busy writing their books - probably

kermieblue.bsky.social•10 days ago

Agree

jeffifer.bsky.social•11 days ago

I wonder if dems are standing back so the full impact of the actions of the cult are felt by everyone. If buffered, then it's not such a big. Seems like some people must suffer themselves before it's real. Sadly, we all are impacted for their corruption and stupidity.

Dems should learn from MAGA. File articles of impeachment EVERY week for ALL Trump's crimes. Audit the swing state 2024 elections. File lawsuits re: stolen elections. The math ain't mathing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWSWqn7UHYM

Millions of 'muricans voted against them!!!

tkusterb.bsky.social•10 days ago

I agree. They all need to be in front the cameras daily.

bobtheguardian.bsky.social•11 days ago

Been asking it all month.

But then I remember Obama and Biden takes some blame for allowing this to happen when he had a chance to stop it in 2015 and 2023 respectively.

mrscheveley.bsky.social•10 days ago

Obama is probably relaxing at his mansion on the cape, Biden is probably playing “chess” while actually playing checkers and Harris is kicking herself that she let her corporate handlers silence Tim Walz.

mrmichaelelliott.bsky.social•11 days ago

The American people didn’t want Biden or Harris. He was too old and she was too female and too black.

dgny325.bsky.social•11 days ago

Can you say Chickensh*ts?

feistygrammy.bsky.social•11 days ago

Every time I ask that question I get shouted down by people saying “ let them rest! Leave them alone!” I am confused and angry because they have been our leaders, their voices could rally the masses but they are MIA in our darkest moment. WTF??

tooterbean.bsky.social•11 days ago

We need a new party. Most dems have been complete cowards.

youlikeraisins.bsky.social•11 days ago

But norms.

snarkymcguire.bsky.social•10 days ago

I’ve been wondering the same thing. Their silence is deafening.

deaneaston.bsky.social•11 days ago

They tucked their tails between their legs and ran away

horologio.bsky.social•11 days ago

Biden I dont blame...
But Harris and Obama need to be seen and heard.

mrmichaelelliott.bsky.social•11 days ago

America always blames people of colour when things go wrong. ‘‘Twas ever thus.

suissdame.bsky.social•10 days ago

Correct, why are they and the democrats so silent? History showed it is the incorrect way to handle the situation. In the 1920’s the German congress was quiet and did not speak up until it was too late.

hardleftnews.com•11 days ago

The answer is nothing. They might not be overt fascists, but they are part of this end-stage capitalist apparatus that put us here. They’ve had mountains of evidence and could have blown the whistle at any point. The Neoliberals are complicit. They are not our allies.

mysimplesnapshot.bsky.social•11 days ago

The republicans now own the presidency, house and senate. Americas destruction is all on them. This is all on them

captnmike2.bsky.social•11 days ago

Harris is back to sending out a pile of fundraising emails, isn't that enough??

terrblet.bsky.social•11 days ago

The people have elected trump. Why are you trying to blame the democrats???????

gramma124.bsky.social•10 days ago

Agreed!!!

8chnyc67.bsky.social•10 days ago

They are planning to wait Trump out, collect enough evidence, and try for a third impeachment. It’s this “strategy” that has failed repeatedly. How many times do they get to make one headed mistakes before we get to call them flat out incompetent, Mike?

littlemissemmet.bsky.social•11 days ago

We kinda want them to....

dezerov.bsky.social•11 days ago

Are they afraid of their own and their families' safety? The same is true with the Clintons.
And crickets from W and Dick Cheney. With the fucking J6ers running amuck... who knows?

joannehansen.bsky.social•11 days ago

I wonder if they think they would do more harm than good in this political atmosphere. Those who voted for them know where they stand. Would the people who didn't vote for them listen to them now?

rsspbxx.bsky.social•10 days ago

✔️

charley1915.bsky.social•11 days ago

They are letting Trump hang himself. As the old saying goes; Give them enough rope and they will hang themselves

ochrecrimson.bsky.social•11 days ago

Here’s hoping.

jaytingle.bsky.social•11 days ago

Ask their agents.

raceandrelations.bsky.social•10 days ago

True. If it’s fascism as you campaigned about. Where are you? All hands on deck.

chrisb6575.bsky.social•11 days ago

Maybe they're afraid of their families getting arrested. I'm not kidding.

josephduffieldreed.bsky.social•11 days ago

They were pretty forthright in warning of this very situation last summer, but now that it's upon us they've checked out.

bluewaveguy.bsky.social•10 days ago

Your right Michaelangelo. We look up to them as leaders. It sure would go a long way. I wish someone would step up in the Democrat party to this scumbag.

manzanman.bsky.social•11 days ago

All afrai of what? It's time for a shadow cabinet holding daily briefings on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Hallowed ground. Rotate the speakers. Brand Republicans for this shit. Repeat daily. On occasion a jackpot will be hit, like yesterday. Zelensky could have been a guest.

ban-dearg.bsky.social•11 days ago

I think a lot of us democrats are standing back and playing the fiddle if you get my meaning.

willa-oczki.bsky.social•10 days ago

According to my fundraising emails I get on the daily, Obama has made some moves to coalesce the fight..... so....

This has pissed me off forever
