Every bit of this is Dem policy AND we ask - what did he recommend as strategy for how to get these passed in this Congress voters left us? Anything? Any tactics or routes to bill passage? ANYTHING?
You get this from the Dem All-stars like Bernie, AOC, etc., on a town hall Night in America occurring every week, In every state, and you can get thousands to show up and then put that shit on blast, you will cause some serious freaking out in the MAGA GOP. Doing it in red districts even better.

That’s really bizarre I did not see that! I disagree with that stance because Trump is effectively breaking the USMCA, which Trump actually signed (didn’t read apparently). And the tariffs are being done way too haphazardly and creating chaos in the market. Seems on purpose to buy the dip.
Hence the politicians hate Bernie, bc middle class workers are more difficult to govern, they’re better educated and, more importantly, they have something to lose.
I believe the middle, lower class, the poverty ridden & the destitute also have something to lose.
.
Middle Class aren't more difficult to govern it's that they have fear of losing what they've achieved.
.
Concentration Camps await us all.
I stand firm on middle class being an agent for change. Financially they have more to lose, plus they are a more cohesive group through their professional connections. The growth of a new middle class in China forced the government to change policies, for example on foreign travel and currency.
That being said, this is what true left policies would look like:
-Free universal healthcare
-Free education at all levels including university-level
-Mass cheap public transportation
-Subsidized childcare
-Support for unionization
-Free elder care
Biden was at best center right. Some of his policies:
-Deportations were maxed
-Curtailed the right to asylum
-Built more detention centers at border
-Supported Gaza's genocide
-Oil industry giveaways
-Tough on crime stance
Biden didn't initiate the shift to the right. But he didn't reverse it.
These are long standing American foreign policies, ones I don’t love but the very ones that most white people, here and in Europe, support. Itchy people voted for Trump. The refugee influx in Europe has overall undermined the old social Democratic order.
The old social democratic order came undone because the old center right wanted tax cuts and more economic stratification. They used immigration to play the divide and conquer game very effectively. Then the center left and center right went right and the far right grew massively.
You really don’t understand dynamics in Europe. The moment you compare the heterogeneous US to homogeneous Nordic countries, which are tilting to the right because of the influx of refugees, you show me that you don’t understand.
US has a long history of immigration. Taking a snapshot of today is deceptive. Immigration is why you’re seeing a rise in RW movements in Sweden, Austria etc. Things started to change there already in the late 80’s. My one big hope is that Trump serves as deterrent for Europe swinging right.
The continental Scandinavian countries are no longer homogeneous. The rise of the Scandinavian far right has taken place by exploiting an increase in immigration, but that’s only part of it. The other part: a lot of people feel like they are losing out, so they act out like this.
Meanwhile, Governor Newsom is out hanging out with Maga extremist Charlie Kirk smiling.
Liberals, we have a traitor, and please, California, do not make excuses for him. He's revealing his true colors.
He is another Rhino!
Whoever wins the candidacy for President on our side, it should be a no-brainer to make Bernie the VP candidate.
I know he may retire before that due to his age, but if he's still in the Senate and his brain isn't Biden-status, his addition to the bottom of a pres. ticket would be Walz on STEROIDS!
The only way anything will ever get any better. Is through revolution. Adapt the methods of the 1917 Russian people's revolution. Class war over country patriotism& nationalism. Refuse to fight in any of US imperialist wars. For the same reasons people refused with ww1.
Good for him for being out there! Certainly more than most Dems … just really don’t understand why most of them are so inept to rise to the moment, where our country is faced with grave danger from the most corrupt administration in history.
The time for everyone to rise was in November. Power comes from the ground up. Republicans vote in lockstep with their trash candidates and they now hold power in all 3 branches of government. Meanwhile you guys are still whining about Dems and engaging in voter suppression.
What do you mean by “you guys”. I voted for Kamala; it’s the GOP party that engages in voter suppression. But the opposition party has to do more than put up silly signs in SOU address, because they are all we have as a significant political party who can push back at this corrupt admin.
All I’m asking is why can’t the Dems as a whole do something substantial like what Bernie is doing. Get out there & rally the troops. There are people looking for an opposition leader to rally them; they literally begging them to do something (watch): https://bsky.app/profile/anildash.com/post/3lioxrw4k622l
Bernie's in Kenosha, hence White. He attracts plenty of POC as well as young people. He actually has a very diverse following, which is why he can go anywhere and pull crowds. His messaging is immediately relatable & clear.
We need Democratic leadership to send out their best to do the same.
The point is he's not a huge draw for POC, not that he's racist. I don't understand the appeal, myself. I find him a bit of a demagogue. And rather amusing that he dropped millionaires from his "millionahs and billionahs" schtick once he became one.
It’s actually not. You should watch this famous documentary by Greg Palast. It is free. Then you might understand what is happening to the votes. 🗳️ https://www.watchvigilantesinc.com/
We had an equally great rally in Altoona, WI!! Over 3,000 strong, the line to get in was over six blocks long...not everyone was in yet when this video was taken.
He's specifically targeting potential swing districts with Republican house members and telling people to put pressure on their representatives there, especially around the CR. These kinds of rallies are also good for making connections in the community and organizing.
We need a leader who has accomplished more than naming 3 post offices. A lot more. Same people who called Biden too old support Bernie who had a heart attack the last time he ran. 🙄
The budget bill right now is at risk of failing in either the House or Senate. Swing districts/states are a place that pressure can be applied where the representative is more at risk of losing their seat if enough citizens get mad about how they vote on it. Calling, protesting, etc applies pressure
Do we WANT it to pass? It's terrible. Do we want a shut down to keep fighting for better budgeting? We could risk their never restarting. I don't know and need some good analyses. I don't want to send people to grassroots lobby not know which is better or at least less awful.
The problem is the massive cuts the CR would use to show Dems don't really care if the CR passes or the across the boards cuts if it fails and we shut down but with a hope of restoring funding. Which? Which is more moral and useful to those at high risk? It's not just passing. It's CONTENT.
He’s always been for personal fundraising, book sales, infiltrating the Dem party and filching our resources, and kneecapping our actual democratic candidates because he’s too lazy to work with others, pass meaningful legislation, or start his own 3rd party.
I've been to his rallies. He is consistent.
He never self-promotes (it's OPPOSITE his purpose).
He always says it is
not about relying on politicians,
but rather organizing the great strength of the people.
But, really why so petty? He is lazy? (lazy insults)
One of the worst parts about bernie? Him colonizing the civil rights movement specifically to tell people protection for minority groups is bad. Specifically meant to make nazis not look as bad to people. And it worked.
There are now categorically more white people absolutely fine with dei programs being killed than before because of him. He was able to use ignoring and dismissing inequality as a campaign promise to never actually do anything about inequality.
None scheduled. We need someone to come here to help educate people on what DOGE is doing. Our representatives are MIA. District 1 & District 6 currently don’t have reps. Josh/Gay are not elected yet.
I would ask Gay Valimont first. If I had to guess, I do think former Lt Gov of Georgia Geoff Duncan would be a good choice to convince Republican voters to vote for her.🤷♀️
Beautiful. We really need Dem leaders to be everywhere, esp. areas Dems gave up on, like RED areas/rust belts. Trump always does that, we don't. It's how we lost working people.
I respect what Senator Bernie Sanders is doing going into Red States talking to White folks bc honestly they are the only ones that can fix this shit this is their problem.💪🏿
I call republicans all the time! My goal is five a day, gave myself weekends off. You can too, make them aware that we see their lying self-protectionism. They are traitors
Dear Senator Bernie,
Your Cape is worn out, please accept another Hero Cape. We are so indebted to you for supporting the country we love against those who don't.
The energy in the room was amazing! So glad I got to be there! We need more Democrats and Independents to get out and follow Bernie’s lead and not wait until it’s election time. We need them now!
Bernie’s message has been consistent for decades. He’s out here fighting for all Americans to have the best possible experience. I’m ride or die with that man. Integrity, honesty, leadership in spades.
We have to promote and elect people to office based not on what they say they will do, but what their record shows they will do. They must model their stated position in their political record.
and yet those same people couldnt go out to vote during elections. So we have the same types of people winning elections and yet we expect change? how does that work exactly?
Ditto for @kenmartin.bsky.social
I know you plan to compete in all 3200 counties. I know you're on a your. But where are you?
How can we get involved? How can we support you if we don't know what you are doing?
This is great, but where’s the ‘Dem McConnell’? We need a master-level, give-no-fucks strategist who can operate within the law but outside of the norms and figure out ways to derail the GOP and the Trump administration at every turn.
He's rallied folks via anger for decades all while presenting zero solutions other than presenting policies that will never pass...he even lied in 2020 about our 🇨🇦isn health care system bc it didn't fit his unattainable 📢
See, you cooked with this. They always put him on a pedestal when he hasn't done anything in all the decades he's been in congress. They never want to hear it, though. They believe all his nonsense, like student loans can be eliminated with the stroke of a pen lol.
My question with regards to Bernie, when has he ever presented a bill that demonstrates how he would implement Medicare for all? In 30 yrs you’d think he wld have.
Even the Green New Deal that was Sen Markey, the bill is presented!
Bernie says what I want to hear but I need action. Trust is earned
It's crazy that Dems don't see this. One old man and a few younger women understand what to say and do, but the leadership are talking about eggs to Reagan's voters who are six feet under.
We hear you. SS DD. Is one word of this NEW? Is it something never said by ALL Dems daily? Did he offer a single suggestion on HOW to get these things done? No? Oh.
When you realize he’s doing this not to help the Democrats oppose Trump but to steal their thunder, you see him in a different light. He’s not who you think he is.
Kamala Harris is a private citizen. America told her to fuck off on Nov 5th, so we don’t expect her to do the work for a job she was denied. Kamala Harris is not America’s political mammy.
Harris has been a public servant for most of her life. After everything she said during her campaign, it's not asking too much of her to speak out & cont to be vocal during these uncertain times. America told🍊to fck off in 2020. It didn't stop him from constantly being seen & heard 🧵
during Biden admin.
🍊constantly drive home false msging about Biden admin policies. He reinforced his messaging over & over. He got the GOP to mimic his nonsense. It worked. 🧵
We need more leadership from all Dems to get out there & do the same thing on every platform they can, going to red district's & telling Americans who voted red exactly what is happening. The difference here is that the truth is scarier than any lies shiter came up with.
No. She should be seen and heard every day. Trump ran the Republican party from Maralago for Biden's entire 4 year term. He even had foreign heads of state visit him there, as if he was the president, ffs.
Kamala should call Trump out every day & be a thorn it his side. Current leadership is MIA.
BS he’s one of the Mai reasons we’re in this mess, he’s all talk and no action, I think people that believe his crap or in a cult as much as any MAGA😡💙💙💙🐝
I've been a fan of Bernie's since the 80s. He is the one politician who truly advocates for the people, especially those disenfranchised with the power money has over their voices. He has been one of the only politicians who would appear on Fox and speak at Conservative Christian universities.
Democrats have historically unwittingly helped Fox control the disinformation because they don't show up and present their message. Bernie Sanders attracts people from all over the political spectrum because he understands the frustration many feel when they hear his message.
Yes. From his work, and AOC's talking with her constituents, there is clarity. An effective message is, The system is rigged against you, and I will fight to change it. There are Bernie/Trump, AOC AND Trump citizens, and this message plus credibility as a fighter wins them. Wins most?
What don't you understand?
That he's an old-school FDR Democrat and wants Blues to win?
That Third Way Dems don't bother to lift their weight for other candidates because they get richer regardless of who's in the WH?
That Third Way Dems smear FDR Dems?
Are you aware of the voter roll purges of those "voting while black or a college student"?
If not, Greg Palast has been tracking that activity for decades. https://youtu.be/0LN65qFUDDo
This is a lie. He stayed in the primary long after he had no mathematical chance of winning… all that time spent tearing her down instead of uniting with us against trump.
Bernie is ok, but if he is working out , what are the other elected doing ?
I know AOC is loud but still most near Washington.

Sorry I dont understand why Bernie Can do this now . Did he help Kamala ?
Or is it vendetta against Biden
@sanders.senate.gov is in a class of his own right now, doing exactly what all Dem members of Congress should be doing: going out into communities all over this country connecting with people, building a groundswell of support around the idea that billionaires need to be brought to heel.
This is how it’s done. Fuck all the plastic democrats in Washington, this shows us who got our backs and who doesn’t. The Establishment Democrats don’t.
Barn Storming Bernie!
This is what EVER Democratic member of Congress and Senate NEEDS to be doing. If Republicans are too scaredy pants to talk to people that elected them, go into their districts and hold town halls in place of them!
Poor Bernie.. he so wants socialism.. he's so upset at billionaires.
Sorry buddy, the American tax payers are on board with funding what you all waste OUR tax money on. The dream of socialism is over! The reality of accountability is here!
To those throwing a tantrum.. please wait till I have time to read your reply before you block me.. why throw a hissy fit at me if I can't have time to read it? Sorry you are so unhinged by hatred.
Fellow Americans! Josh Hawley refused to come to a town hall to explain why he's enabling Trump to destroy America and help Putin. What is he afraid of? #Accountability

15.6%

Nordic countries being homogeneous is a myth. These countries are melting pots just like the US.
And they have to be, else their economy would get fucked. Companies over there are pushing for more immigration.
