Dems better deliver some GD candidates with backbone ready to DO SOME GD work. And YES I am pissed. Sick of yellow belly, echo chamber, do nothing, whiny Dems.
We have a chance with 3 special elections coming up. On 4/1 2 democrats in Fl can win those seats if Democrat party puts in the effort. Hawk on YT has spoken with both candidates & said know 1 in the D party or DNC/DCCC have lifted a finger 2 help.

I’m sorry but too many irregularities and blatant admission of manipulation in the election. They have the “fix” in and I’m not confident Democrats will ever win again unless people vote in too many numbers to manipulate!!
Hey @chrislhayes.bsky.social You still don't get it. There is no "winning back" voters. There wont be free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028 if Elon Musk is allowed to commit whatever federal crimes he wants. This is the ONLY thing you should be talking about. Literally nothing else matters
Asshole Hayes supported booting out Biden & sanewashed Trump. He tried to take Biden down in 2020 & help Trump with his Tara Reid BS talk. He/ #msnbc are a disgrace! WHY is anyone quoting or watching ANY of them but @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com? They HELPED Trump win! https://www.thewrap.com/chris-hayes-biden-aging-likely-to-lose-to-trump-msnbc/
No, they can’t.
The party gave up on programs & services that benefit the working class (universal healthcare, paid family leave, subsidized child/elder care, U pre-k, school meals, child tax credits, affordable housing & higher ed).
Dems will lurch to the right & hopefully dissolve the party.
The dems *have* to embrace pluralism, they’re not a homogenous crowd.
There are key issues which are increasingly common across the west (maybe even beyond) which relate to workers and consumer rights. Availability of housing. Cost of living. Rights to our own data and security.
What else?
1. Purge Dems by class 2. Well-meaning proletariat constituency rebrands as liberal and democratic-socialist with populist, common-sense platform: a) healthcare and housing for all, b) mitigate climate change, c) free and fair elections
He helped create this situation by slinging cynicism against Dems for clicks and ratings for months leading up to the election. Hayes is one of the voices that needs to be flushed down a toilet.
You speak like you didn't have sundown cities in the US last year, and the year before. They never disappeared. So the US practiced segregation while Obama was president!
But only if they mean it. Republicans have terrible policies yet still outmaneuver the Dems because Dems don't stand for anything until their donors let them. Republicans don't either but somehow they know how to message to their supporters.
Apparently, the only clubs allowed under Trump and the GOP's Christian Nationalist movement will be of those organized and attended by white men, as it was before the enactment of the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 19th Amendments, Civil Rights Act, and Brown vs Board of Education.
He’s speaking as if the people who voted for Hitler are reasonable people. No, they heard everything trump said and decided to ignore it, without explanation. There is no reasoning with these people, there is no pluralism victory because at their core, GOPrs don’t WANT a better society.
This could also describe many who, by sitting out or voting 3rd party, decided that helping this guy win again was better than four more years of "Genocide Joe" or "Killer Kamala."
No, that’s not how a democracy works. If someone wants to get elected, they put out a platform. Kamala’s platform was “I’m not Biden, but I’m not not Biden”. She believed that she could convince the nazis to convert for her, instead of evening CONSIDERING putting an end to genocide.
In US politics, there are only two (2) choices for POTUS. If you don't choose one of the two viable candidates, you're either privileged, ie it doesn't matter or you don't get the math. That's it. No protest votes, no sittin' out, only 2. I chose her.🤷🏻♂️
The fact that you are fine with that is part of the problem in my opinion. We should have more parties. The electoral college should be eliminated. There should be sweeping and meaningful campaign finance reform. Hey but since that the way it shouldn’t change.
Sounds an awful lot like you would have opposed measures to abolish slavery, give black people and women the right to vote. You know so that you don’t upset your precious status quo. I voted for her too, but that doesn’t mean I don’t hold people like you just as accountable for where we are now.
Believing there are only 2 candidates is part of why we are here. It does not encourage the Dems to change. They are not the Left. They are mostly centrists and Republican-Lite...we should already have free healthcare, education, and affordable housing...these are no brainers..
Our election system squashes any chance for a viable 3P candidate. They face barriers to fundraising, getting on the ballots, and debate participation, that R/D candidates don't. There is no point in voting for a third party unless/until we can change the election system.
Once again, that’s not how a democracy works. “In reality” arguments are just another way showing one’s complacency.
If she wanted votes, she should’ve listened to her base instead hoping that nazis would support her. https://www.imeupolicyproject.org/postelection-polling
All the people of the world need to unite and never allow fascist leaders. We all need to support each other’s countries who are fighting against them. We have no space for them. We need to protect the environment and the people.❤️
Democracy is gone, never to return. Every election will be fixed like they are in Russia. Won’t matter what message Dems run. We are beyond fucked. Only way back is a revolution. No idea how that would look because the enemy are our neighbors and family.
No one wins as long as Citizen United has both parties on the payroll. Pluralism cannot exist in a two-party oligarchy. Dollar democracy is not democracy.
Hayes is one of the smartest people on MSNBC. Shame a lot of people moved away from the channel when Joe and Mika bowed to a wannabe King. If they would only apologize……maybe MSNBC could win back their viewers.

Our only hope is to wait for the e trump lovers to die off. Thankfully they’re old and in atrocious health.

Great job folks! Cheers!🍻

Since it is known fact, please cite where I posted that I was "fine with that..."
You can't because I never did. The rest of your rant is useless when you get the first part completely wrong.🤷🏻♂️

Why not stop scapegoating & look deeper Doc? The US has supported Israel's genocidal war v. the Palestinian people for 77 yrs, not two.
I understood the math of what not voting for her would produce, and here we are. I hope y'all dupes are sleepin' like babies.✌🏻
highest ground in US politics is very available to Ds, as available as I've seen it + I remember JFK
that high ground is our freedoms
the 1st amendment protects our religious freedom via pluralism + voluntary-ism
Rs are pushing uniformity
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social recently said we’re powerless, which are are absolutely not.
We need real leadership with people who have a pair, kicking ass and taking names at the mic every opportunity we can get.
Get in the way.
Jam them up.
Expose everything.
Motivate everyone.
Protests.
Marches.
Rallies.
Let’s go. All gas. No brakes.
