I've been a Democratic party since I was 17 years old. Now, at 66, I'm saddened to see what the leadership is doing. I'm done unless they get their heads out of their asses.

jamiemcquinn.bsky.social•53 days ago

Everyone who voted to censure Al Green should be primaried.

bob02.bsky.social•53 days ago

Absolutely agree shame for those 10 Democrats who voted to censure Al Green

nmyopinion345.bsky.social•54 days ago

Jefferies is a qualified negotiator following protocols however, these are racist MAGA GOP criminals who think they can threaten, intimidate or bully to put through whatever legislation they want.

I love Al Green. The lame dems with thier not applauding and dumb ass paddles are worthless. Weak.

thebardess.bsky.social•53 days ago

They sat there silent and stonefaced while Trump took jabs at them all night unopposed. It was honestly embarrassing.

imanidealist.bsky.social•49 days ago

I was fed up with most of the establishment dems when they froze Bernie out. What a bad move. Probably why we ended up w the idiot the first time.😔

patricklancaster.bsky.social•53 days ago

Run for office! Seriously. We need an elected official like you!

marerocks.bsky.social•53 days ago

You know what the remedy for this is? We have got to start protesting Hakeem jeffries. His is a poor district, but if some Progressive could step forward--maybe even challenge him ala AOC.

WHERE ARE THE FIGHTERS???

He's got his head in the toothless Occupy mode of Opposition.
This is Not Obama he's facing. He would wait in line to be executed.
This level of domestication ends when slaughter starts. They'll get wiley fast.

chriskopech.com•53 days ago

Keith, you're one of the few voices speaking up about Transgender erasure, and that's very admirable, but please stop saying "transgendered". The "ed" at the end is incorrect. Keep up the good fight!

kosmikllama.bsky.social•53 days ago

Thank you for everything you do. I think the Dems should have coordinated, and with every lie Trump told in his speech another Dem stood up and said…” that is a lie sir!” and walked out. H Everyone one of them, one after another. We would have run out of Reps before he was 10 minutes into his speech

irish-pawpaw.bsky.social•54 days ago

We need actual Dems, not DNC members

kevanaponte.bsky.social•54 days ago

I had high hopes for Jefferies. Not anymore. I am disgusted with the Democrats. I want to see rallies in every red district. Why is Bernie the only one doing that? What are they doing in DC? If I hear another strongly worded speech read at a podium by Chuckie, I'm going to scream.

schwanderer.bsky.social•54 days ago

I wonder about how much our view of Jeffries is the result of Pelosi still being there. ANYONE following her would have had a tough challenge. He likely faces a large percentage of members who are more loyal to her than him.

cawriter.bsky.social•54 days ago

Enough, democrats. You're not dealing with the old republican party, exchanging barbs and compromising to get things done. This is Trump & Project 2025, the planned obsolescence of the democracy.

Stop pussyfooting. This is our country's survival we're talking about. Stand up and speak out.

bob02.bsky.social•53 days ago

Need new leadership in the Democratic party

Jeffries and Schumer are not the answer anymore

idosound.bsky.social•54 days ago

Keith,
The Dems walked into a Trump rally inside that House chamber.
They should've started to walk out and take the attention away from him.
Let the air out of his sails publicly.

vl2024.bsky.social•54 days ago

How about C Schumer?

informationbank.bsky.social•54 days ago

Schumer is just as bad...

andrewcstewart.bsky.social•52 days ago

Yes

buffalocharging.bsky.social•53 days ago

Well, guess what, Keith? I'm here to drag us all right back down to REALITY.

About Thurber...

I had been thinking that maybe you could do a biweekly "Fridays with Thurber" episode. That's all it is, one of the banked Thurber readings, slap some bumpers on, and drop it into the feed.

Some might find it boring or lazy. I think it keeps Thurber's name out there.

stevenbyhimself.bsky.social•54 days ago

AOC and Jasmine Crockett have been showing much more moral leadership. Not to mention Green himself. Also Jamie Rankin, though the optics don't work.

ponceyinaz.bsky.social•54 days ago

Lazy Dem alert 🚨House Democratic Caucus @reppeteaguilar.bsky.social has never bothered to post on his BlueSky account with 18k followers, who I presume are primarily constituents

You ain't neva lied..

And nearly everyone is in the red.

21.7B now for the rat! LOL

terminatorlx.bsky.social•53 days ago

I'm not willing to give up on Hakeem Jeffries yet, but he's on thin ice. He's new to this role so he needs to learn. We need to write him & let him know how we feel. And the voters in his district need to stay at his offices until he gets it together. Schumer, however, has had his role forever.

markesienko.bsky.social•53 days ago

1,000% agree on all points!!

thebardess.bsky.social•53 days ago

I really don't understand it. We learned in grade school history that appeasement doesn't work yet here we sit watching it all repeat.

g-muney.bsky.social•53 days ago

llu2.bsky.social•54 days ago

Who else they got 🤷‍♀️

andy-angove.bsky.social•53 days ago

I'm surprised Jeffries had time to waggle his finger at Dem House members since he's been so busy with his BOOK TOUR, that apparently is more important than democracy to him.

sju08.bsky.social•54 days ago

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries must be replaced as minority leaders. The Democratic Party is in disarray. No leadership. No coordinated communication strategy.

informationbank.bsky.social•54 days ago

I've done a plan since they seem incapable of coming up with one

jpmcjefferson.bsky.social•42 days ago

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL SPOKESPERSON: This should be a new position in the Democratic Party. Daily news briefings, interviews, regular on TV news, talk shows, & podcasts. Could rotate every 6 mo. & be a stepping-stone to Leadership and/or POTUS. It would draw media attention from Trump-Musk-MAGA.

sju08.bsky.social•42 days ago

Agree!!!

smknjohnny17.bsky.social•54 days ago

THE DEOCRAT PARTY NEEDS NEW BLOOD IN LEADERSHIP!

lexatoz.bsky.social•53 days ago

The Democratic Party is DOA. we need a new party. I’ve been screaming here for Jeffries to go. Schumer to go. Hochul to go. Raskin and Murphy for Minority Leaders. If we have reps on the inside stirring up, we’ll piss TFG off more and inspire more constituent protests. Now, we’ve got bupkis.

cdossat.bsky.social•53 days ago

Hey @olbermann.bsky.social Jeffrey or Schumer or DEM leadership are NOT the issue here. Your neighbors and cousins and associates and colleagues who continue to vote for MAGA are the issue. You can’t swap dumbness with political activism. Trump is an opportunistic man that some people love

mt854.bsky.social•53 days ago

Agreed. Jeffries should be out. Please keep speaking out. The Dem leadership is horrible.
Al Green is a hero, that they should all emulate, but no, 10 Dem traitors in the house vote against him, WTF.
Jeffries can't even get his caucus to stand together.

boredscrollmaster.bsky.social•54 days ago

Just wanted to ask, since Putin was mid-level KGB when the Soviet Union was still intact, and you don't get to be mid-level KGB unless you're staunchly Communist and hate the US...why is no one calling Trump and his cronies what they are:

Commie-lovers?

mikefromwis.bsky.social•54 days ago

If we don't have turnout in 26 I quit. The dems earning their keep is a dismal small fraction. Bernie has been to my state twice in 2 days - where the hell is everyone else, wtf

dibur316.bsky.social•53 days ago

F you!!!

greencentaur.bsky.social•54 days ago

If the Democrats were going to hold up a bat to Trump, a baseball bat would have had more impact!

clearlakedoc.bsky.social•53 days ago

I concur. HJ aint the " worst person in the world" but hes weak.

brywool.bsky.social•53 days ago

BRAVO. No kidding! Jeffries has become our version of McConnell. Just spineless. I have been saying that since he had that whole "we'll work bipartisan" prayer... thing. Whatever it was. NOPE.

mebgoode.bsky.social•53 days ago

Canada & Mexico apply more resistance than all the Dems combined. WTF! @ElbowsUp!

When the going gets tough, Hakeem Jeffries goes on a goddamned book tour.

Hakeem Jeffries is fucking worthless.

schwanderer.bsky.social•54 days ago

IF he is using his book tour to talk to voters, it is not all bad. It does look bad though.

johanna88.bsky.social•54 days ago

Completely agree, Jeffries is literally the 2nd coming of Merrick Garland

mkennedymartin.bsky.social•53 days ago

Democrats, you say you can't do anything but we need to give you money. What do you need the money for. If you can't do anything then resign, get out of the way, and let someone who at least thinks he can do something try

granolavibes.bsky.social•54 days ago

Yes! He and others also love the money and power. Just like the gop.

plc2024.bsky.social•54 days ago

dems are quislings.

gobosox54.bsky.social•53 days ago

As you noted in your podcast, @repmcgovern.bsky.social has a much needed spine. His best line is at the end of my 2+ min video that I will endeavor to edit to post here.

gregory-c-leavitt.bsky.social•54 days ago

The party needs to clean house. They’ve lost the trust of the people.

msdixiediva53.bsky.social•53 days ago

💯!!! I want to vote out all incumbents who sat on their asses while Al Green got up and protested. Then 10 Dumb-ocrats voted to censure him? No. Oh, hell no! These Dems don't have the cojones to deserve a seat. Primary all who have NOT stood up & protested.

VOTE. THEM. OUT!

dogs-n-dna.bsky.social•48 days ago

Thanks for the Thurber! Is there a reason your portrayals of the females in his stories all sound like Paul Lynde?

schwanderer.bsky.social•54 days ago

I don't mean this as an excuse but the Dems have never been in this spot before when no matter how much $ they raise they are battling the combined $$ and power of multiple oligarchs w/a lot of media power.

flexmaster5000.bsky.social•53 days ago

Hey Keith, up here in the purple W-03, Marie deserves some criticism, but your all or nothing approach is what is wrong with non-MAGA. Burning down the house will guarantee MAGA dominance.

brywool.bsky.social•53 days ago

So the color coordination and non-clapping were enough? No way. The nation responded to the GOP being their WORST and voted for them. But our side is gonna talk about "decorum"? Screw that.

dpabramson.bsky.social•54 days ago

Keith, as an uncle of two Trans teenage nieces, and a Californian who isn't happy with Gavin after his comments about Trans women athletes; let's be clear: he was only talking about Trans women athletes, not civil rights for all Trans people.

leonardcohensghost.bsky.social•54 days ago
