A smart political party would be running ads about this. Would have press conferences with affected workers explaining how their work helped everyday people. Would have bought a Superbowl ad. Would never fucking shut up about what is happening. - ThreadSky

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

I am in disbelief that none of this is happening. Hell, I’m in disbelief that everything else IS happening. We live in bizarro world now.

I feel like the “poking with a stick” meme going “do something!”

It’s like they’ve tried absolutely nothing and are all out of ideas.

I find it extraordinary that this isn't happening. With so many stories to choose from, the difficult bit would be choosing which ones to use.

The Washington post refused to run ads about this. Fox, who broadcast the superbowl, refused to run ads about this. People are protesting and shouting all over the country. The media refuses to report on it. Etc etc etc. When they own the media, they control the narrative.

There have been press conferences with workers too. But the media doesn't cover it and no one on Bluesky is very interested in checking for themselves what Democrats are doing, only in talking to each other about how Democrats aren't doing things.

I guess they need to find a way to grab attention, but I don't know how and haven't seen ideas beyond what they're already doing.

Their job is to enable Republicans, not fight them.

America is a duopoly and both parties know they don’t need to do anything to impress anyone. Every 4 (sometimes 8) years the country flips back and forth, back and forth. They don’t need to earn your vote. Your system doesn’t require it.
