Democrats, what's stopping you from bringing this energy to congress?

Reposted from asiniiwiikwe aka ashley fairbanks

Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.

You plucked that thought right out of my head.

Lack of rhythm

gonna loop this indefinitely - this is the kind of soundbath my nervous system responds to

juliuspepperw00d.bsky.social•105 days ago

Their utter lack of both charisma and a sense of culture and community.

If Pelosi and the Democrats had done this during the SOTU, Trump we would be living in a different timeline.

doogie2k.bsky.social•105 days ago

That would require having even one (1) principle.

theanthonymark.bsky.social•105 days ago

They want their Republican opponents to respect and like them? 💀

jewelsrefined.bsky.social•105 days ago

That was incredible 😮 wow

corgiguy.bsky.social•104 days ago

I know, right!

kiminsley.bsky.social•105 days ago

Now wouldn't that blow their minds?

j0siemostly.bsky.social•105 days ago

They would need to care

roslynn.bsky.social•105 days ago

They are wimps?

mep.bsky.social•105 days ago

Cultural appropriation?

katelynburns.com•105 days ago

I don't want them to literally do the dance

benotafraid.bsky.social•105 days ago

Am obsession with procedures(that the other side ignores) and decorum

sam-animeherald.bsky.social•105 days ago

If I had to guess?

"The Repubilcans we court might get mad, and not vote for us even though they're not going to vote for us anyway :("

Or

"My megadonors and SuperPAC runners will get upset :("

Dealer's choice.

jenniedelicious.bsky.social•105 days ago

Cowardice, generally :(

namehere0402.bsky.social•105 days ago

Probably because the crap media will frame them as lunatics. As opposed to the other side. And socially right wing America will agree.

zenodotus.bsky.social•105 days ago

I started out like, "ok, this is much more aggressive version of that Pelosi thing that people made a huge deal over," but then it went on, and it was like the Ed McMahon meme.

emilybreunig.bsky.social•105 days ago

Barbara Lee is retiring 🫤

dorhamidbar.bsky.social•104 days ago

Your only good representative back in '01.
Kia kaha!

brainmist.bsky.social•105 days ago

While Dems were pearlclutching over Bowman's f-bomb, I commented to my former rep that maybe if our state's Dems would bring some of that fire, they'd win votes.

So he blocked me, natch.

magickenslady.bsky.social•105 days ago

This also goes back to "why can't we have a cool culture?" I'm so sick of being a boring amalgamation of western European cultures, mainly English.

trans.bsky.social•105 days ago

cowardice, mostly.

jayarden.com•105 days ago

Big ol' weenies, many such cases

Cowardice.

traumedia.bsky.social•105 days ago

Don't tempt Nancy into doing this please

quinn666.bsky.social•105 days ago

Please, don't let Democrats do the Haka. The thought alone makes my skin crawl

katelynburns.com•105 days ago

No i don't want them to do that specifically. I just want a fighting spirit

jwlicinio.bsky.social•105 days ago

“decorum,” probably

lediva.bsky.social•105 days ago

I wonder what would be the Democratic equivalent of the haka? Maybe doing the Electric Slide or the Chicken Dance.

marcimoomagic.bsky.social•104 days ago

I'd punt a toddler to see Congressional Dems do the Electric Slide after shooting down godawful fash slop

lediva.bsky.social•104 days ago

Careful, I think that counts as a late-term abortion now in some states.

marcimoomagic.bsky.social•104 days ago

A twelfth-trimester abortion

amberrowanroberts.bsky.social•105 days ago

A backbone?

janehammons.bsky.social•105 days ago

No soul?

No really they think that's gonna put them in the history books LMAO

bratknits.bsky.social•105 days ago

If Liz Warren does this there will be a great pants shitting across the isle.

chelseariffic.bsky.social•104 days ago

Lol the centrists could never

penguinaph.bsky.social•104 days ago

monkyjamm.bsky.social•104 days ago

The fact that they're liberals

crista.bsky.social•105 days ago

For fucking real though

artd.bsky.social•105 days ago

A Democratic candidate for president yelled once, so they’re not going to try that again

fito-telmata.bsky.social•105 days ago

Many of them are boring, half-dead, and have DC brainrot.

xeraxerex.bsky.social•104 days ago

almost every single thing they believe in

janetheghost.bsky.social•105 days ago

But think of the norms! The precious norms!

sunnieskye.bsky.social•105 days ago

We don’t love disruption and strength enough.

kushghost.bsky.social•105 days ago

lack of principles, conviction and courage i suspect.

daveinohio.bsky.social•105 days ago

pretty much the same thing right?

chickenpuppet.online•105 days ago

Having a median age of 68

historysraven.bsky.social•105 days ago

Caring more about “rules and norms” than about actually doing anything.

katelynburns.com•105 days ago

Okay i don't want dems to actually do this dance. Just match the energy in opposition.

jmaslak.bsky.social•105 days ago

If they have energy and hold their ground, "decorum" is used to silence them (or at least try). See Zooey Zephyr.

oldmatecans.lol•105 days ago

Got to combine it with a hikoi, or march, from both the South and North Island which will converge on Parliament next week. It was meant to arrive the day this bill was first read but the govt changed the schedule because they're scared pissbabies.

oliviabgraves.bsky.social•105 days ago

Even just a quarter of this energy, it’s embarrassing that we have people in power that are so weak and spineless. More people like this, I would say, more of the indigenous people of this land should be in Congress and have this energy.
