Yeah, common ground with fascists. You know, some of us broke ties with friends and family because the differences couldn’t be overcome. So we did not elect representatives to look for common ground on zero tolerance issues. 😡

dandelion1183.bsky.social•67 days ago

As we watch our Party tip toe quietly further Right, they don’t seem to notice their base bailing and moving further Left. And if I get one more donation request from any “Dem” or the the DNC I’m going to explode. Go pound sand.

justhavinfun.bsky.social•67 days ago

I predict the democratic party will face a takeover similar to the trump takeover of the GOP.
Bernie came close.

dandelion1183.bsky.social•67 days ago

Count me in.

sarabjustone.bsky.social•67 days ago

If you don’t like how your representatives are doing their job…well, that is what primaries are for.

And you can always run yourself! Run For Something can help get you up and running.

dandelion1183.bsky.social•67 days ago

I think you’re going to see a lot of people doing things differently going forward. Not everyone can run but I’ll make sure my money, time, and volunteering isn’t going to a Party that doesn’t fight.

quakerman.bsky.social•67 days ago

This, exactly. Don’t tell people who lost lifelong friends fighting against fascism that now is the time to work WITH those fascists.

spin4srv.bsky.social•67 days ago

I don't care what they say. I care what they do. Tactics don't matter to me. Say every day you are searching desperately fot bipartisan solutions but Republicans insisted on fringe benefits for the ultra-rich. Seem reasonable, but don't cooperate.

Ms. Rubin, I’m a long-time WaPo reader and despise the new comment format. Any thoughts?

caddens314.bsky.social•67 days ago

Let’s all be super clear democrats common ground or working with Trump is common ground w a white supremacist, convict and insurrectionist.

caddens314.bsky.social•67 days ago

Democrats learned nothing. I swear if we do not have an opposition party and candidate, or candidates as early as January 21 the void will be filled by Trump daily and we will as a country surely drown.

lethaljorts.bsky.social•67 days ago

Lol, good luck with that

vhcatlady.bsky.social•67 days ago

AOC's defeat is case in point. Dems need to read the memo.

kahearn.bsky.social•67 days ago

I’ve given up on our current Democratic Party. I almost walked away with that Pelosi fiasco and President Biden, now she interferes with AOC. Common ground, where has that gotten us?

mreddie8976.bsky.social•67 days ago

Exactly!

It would be better if they said nothing, than that sort of "surrender monkey" bullshit

jkdanthonyian10.bsky.social•67 days ago

You just gave me a flashback with the McConnell quote. Here's the Majority Leader literally stating out loud that his only "job" was to... defeat the Democrat president.

Nothing about the country, its people, or fixing issues.

Yet the MSM just walked right by it. That's how we got here.

iwassayin.bsky.social•67 days ago

blickman.bsky.social•67 days ago

If the Dems take this approach I’m done. I left the Republican Party in 2016 bc of Trump. Surrendering to MAGA is appeasement. I will never surrender to white nationalist Christo fascists. Good luck Democrats you just turned off half of the electorate & depressed voting for the under 50 crowd

Yes, let the MAGA Republicans keep digging in their hole. The deeper they get the more faint their voices. At some point there will be a cave in.

Dems need to throw out the useless old people & start electing young people who will have to live with the actions of Trump.
All these Babyboomers who are refusing to fight/step aside are letting their children know how little they actually care about them.
I got mine,F the rest of you to the grave.

justicedelayed.bsky.social•67 days ago

Common ground implies a focus on policy. Their tactic is to destroy opponents like they did Biden, Clinton, Obama, and to a lesser extent Harris. It’s myopic to think that will work with these thugs.

honeylaundry.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yes! Keep saying it, Jen.

service-worker.bsky.social•67 days ago

It’s fucking hilarious that Dems completely ignore people online pleading for them to fight for them but the second some internet randos start talking about not being upset a rich fuck died it’s a serious problem that needs to be addressed while they then ignore Rs treating killers like celebrities

kauer2.bsky.social•66 days ago

The good news is that Lame Duck Don is a one term president at this point but Dems need to substantially increase their communication effectiveness.

valerieheathmbc.bsky.social•67 days ago

They keep normalising the deeply abnormal. This is a billionty alarm fire And it hasnt even started yet. Amazing to me that Mericans can memory-hole the 1.2 M citizens who died of Covid Most under Trump’s callously cruelly incompetent reign. Didnt their families vote???

unhipcat.bsky.social•67 days ago

bfgilme.bsky.social•67 days ago

We shouldn't reject the idea of working on common interests. We need to accept the reality that 'common ground' is vanishingly small. We don't need to abandon the idea of cooperation and compromise. We just need to be real about when that is possible.

windmillhill.bsky.social•67 days ago

I have had respect for Pelosi, but the fact that she’s pushing out the best communicator that the Democrats have in favor of just elevating another old timer it makes me want to scream. It’s like they’ve learned absolutely nothing.

mreddie8976.bsky.social•67 days ago

It's time for Nancy to retire

armygirl17.bsky.social•67 days ago

Is she still in the hospital? I love Nancy however this recent incident should literally force her into retirement.

wendyo59.bsky.social•67 days ago

It’s up to her constituents to decide that.

nyxa5.bsky.social•67 days ago

Sounds like the Democrats should primary her and send educational outreach to her voters on why she’s so toxic now despite her previous accomplishments (ACA, etc.).

Stop being so damn passive. Democrats seem to have conflict avoidance as default setting as NPCs.

wendyo59.bsky.social•67 days ago

Does that sound like the right thing to do to you? People have always struggled with Nancy Pelosi. Her constituents continue to vote for her anyway. It’s not like she is the only one who is pushing for certain leaders. She did an amazing job of standing up to Trump last time, don’t forget!

bug-deal.bsky.social•67 days ago

is it? i think it might be entirely up to her.

wendyo59.bsky.social•67 days ago

That too. But if her constituents are still voting for her, it doesn’t matter what the rest of us think. There are a lot of Congress people that I wish weren’t there, but I don’t get to vote for them.

bug-deal.bsky.social•67 days ago

"that too"? is her position open to elections or not?

katesskatess.bsky.social•67 days ago

I absolutely agree. She’s been amazing but now I feel they care more about their personal power than our nation.

geopru.bsky.social•63 days ago

There’s no common ground with people who are determined to destroy us all. They won’t respect you “finding common ground” b/c they see that as weakness, like all bullies do. The only thing they’ll respect is strength! Stand up to them, Stand against their racism and bigotry! Stop fascism! PERIOD.

stevekoehler22.bsky.social•67 days ago

The only “common ground” we have
is scorched earth.

dennispcrawford.bsky.social•67 days ago

The Republicans cooperated with George W. Bush and the Republicans during Bush's first term. We got the Iraq War and massive deficits for our efforts. The GOP won the mid-term elections in 2002 and Bush was re-elected in 2004. Bush was a terrible president.

Dem leadership should take turns holding a daily presser listing the shenanigans the GOP are up to.

It's surprising how many politicians and voters who lived through his first term, thought the old rules, were still in play. Maga doesn't follow any rule that limits their power. They are no more different than terrorists. They want to blow it all up to gain control.

I agree don't work with them. No more enabling. Let them have to rely on their Republican votes in the House, period.

D's overestimate their base. we love red meat as much as anybody. quit treating us like phd's from yale with multiple degrees in humanities. just do it for the right reasons

paganlatin.bsky.social•67 days ago

Republican strategists must have spent the last 10 years in awe at the stupidity of their opponents.

raincoast.bsky.social•64 days ago

They love the poorly educated.

That's why they want to eliminate the Department of Education

diggitydogdo.bsky.social•67 days ago

Exactly, Jen‼️‼️‼️

allyhartwell.bsky.social•66 days ago

And where is Mika shouting about abortion rights now? A SC bill to execute women who have abortions gets no coverage on MSNBC or in the mainstream. These 6 men have been empowered by Trump & need to be humiliated until they back down. This is a fight that was won before: https://bsky.app/profile/qasimrashid.com/post/3ldlojvoayk27

It's infuriating! 🤬

socalbookish.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yeah how did finding common ground with Hitler work out

shutuplegs.bsky.social•67 days ago

sarabjustone.bsky.social•67 days ago

Who said that?

(I’ve missed some things, clearly)

zugernat.bsky.social•67 days ago

"Common ground with Trump" is the same as "common ground with Hitler."

blue-bohemian.bsky.social•67 days ago

I totally agree!!

alanhowe.bsky.social•67 days ago

Under a fascist dictatorship there are three groups: the collaborators, the apathetics, and the resistance. Only the resistance will overthrow dictators, and only the resistance is fighting now to prevent the dictator from taking power.

Do not be apathetic.

It's super easy to contact President Biden- I did it

https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/

cclsvn.bsky.social•66 days ago

Thanks! There's also @resist.bot , a way to reach the President, federal, state, and local elected leaders. It's not an app, but it's text based... works right from your phone and favorite messaging apps. Just type and send.

geopru.bsky.social•63 days ago

Exactly. It's long past the time to act, waiting until the dictator is in the White House will be that much more difficult to oust him and his collaborators.

👏👏👏

coastalson.bsky.social•67 days ago

All the while, telling the citizens that WE need to fight

loribirdparrot.bsky.social•66 days ago

And again, this is the problem with Democrats standing for the status quo never standing for what’s right if you could give them one word of advice from a American voter, we want to see that you’re fighting for us not turning the other cheek when something is wrong. call it the blank out

fthep.bsky.social•59 days ago

Exactly! Do everything you can to thwart the maga agenda.

pocketthefool.bsky.social•66 days ago

Poor Jen Rubin. Decided she was tired of screaming into the void, and now screams into a bigger void.

the92.bsky.social•66 days ago

Call your reps and demand those words never cross their lips. They need to worry about their base.

rachaelramsey.bsky.social•67 days ago

Screaming with you

cupecoy4me.bsky.social•67 days ago

This is why I am Indy now…besides Defund the Police and tear down statues of Lincoln.

ritapassal.bsky.social•67 days ago

As much as I hate how the Republicans play the Democrats have to do the same to fight Trump you can’t be nice with a bully.

metapdrums.bsky.social•67 days ago

The coming years are going to involve being disappointed over and over again by people we thought knew better.

Watch for those who stand their ground. Osterholm, Hotez, Snyder, Applebaum, Ben-Ghiat, Nance,

ewaters101.bsky.social•67 days ago

You would think that by now they would know. There is NO common ground with Republicans.

abdiscovery.bsky.social•67 days ago

to have common ground with Trump means to sell your soul. Trump is not a political opponent, he is THE ENEMY of all that is good.

annieopopoagie.bsky.social•67 days ago

If it is good for the country, I would still expect cooperation. If there is such legislation . . .

restingbeachface.bsky.social•67 days ago

Or any of his sycophants.

erickipnis.bsky.social•67 days ago

Perhaps it’s the words ‘common ground’ that you object to. I get that. Maybe the phrase ‘work with them when possible’ is better. The work of the country still needs to get done. The people expect & want that. That doesn’t mean we don’t fight when lines are crossed. We do & they will be. We do both.

kelliawise.bsky.social•67 days ago

We could fill a few stadiums with all the dems ready to scream along with you. Good lord, the D leadership is either A) entirely incompetent or B) in on the grift. I'm giving 50-50 odds on either scenario being true.

catpushmike.bsky.social•67 days ago

C) Privileged, lazy, risk-averse.

quinnq.bsky.social•67 days ago

I'm screaming with you. It's not, at all, good strategy to allow common ground. To Rs and Trump, Common Ground means Surrendered Ground. We can't give them one damn inch. We must build our party to such an indisputable strength that they will be begging for "common ground." #NotOneInch #DemsResist

maineoracle.bsky.social•67 days ago

I am old enough to remember your shabby treatment of Senator Sanders. Joe and Mika as well as the very self righteous Jen made Trump possible.

danigarnet.bsky.social•67 days ago

There is no common ground with fascists.
