Dem House leadership needs to be replaced. These people just refuse to fight.

ellieanahata.bsky.social•16 days ago

The refuse to fight bc They On The Same Team.

xiruxi.bsky.social•16 days ago

"Both sides" LOL what a loser

ellieanahata.bsky.social•16 days ago

What's your degree in, aside from trolling?

xiruxi.bsky.social•16 days ago

"They're on the SaMe TeAm. I read that on the Internet! It's a conspiracy!"

xiruxi.bsky.social•16 days ago

Fell for it again!

grant2c.bsky.social•16 days ago

I’m taking all reporting w/a grain of salt BUT Dem leadership has been flat footed at best. This ‘Gee Wiz, it’s their government’ attitude REAKS of the affluent out of touch label the gop has hung on the left AND it’s not like THEY’RE not making rent or being persecuted. Till NOW🏌🏻

justamomm.bsky.social•16 days ago

Encouraging Dems to do what they can is one important, but don’t let Republicans off the hook. Somehow, something has to give.

I wouldn't necessarily trust a pilot who stalled a plane via incompetence to be able to recover, seems to be the same w/ them

stayscathed.bsky.social•16 days ago

I’m sorry. WHO got us into this?

ellieanahata.bsky.social•16 days ago

Exactly

aafror.bsky.social•16 days ago

They refuse to break decorum and instead lecture their base. They are feckless sycophants to the donor elite and have taken the base for granted time and time again. Blow their phones up, pause all donations and hold their feet to the fire. The time to fight back is now.

joekatz45.bsky.social•16 days ago

If they don't think the base frustration is natural they are in for a VERY rough couple years even if normal politics prevail

bluememe.bsky.social•16 days ago

Most of the Democratic leaders are simply too old and too set in their passive ways to be of any use now.

And the precocious Hakim Jeffries is infirm beyond his years.

tylerh3.bsky.social•16 days ago

Yep. They gotta go

jooltman.bsky.social•16 days ago

And they reallllly don’t like being told to do their damn jobs…so we should do it more, louder.

beefkazenzakis.bsky.social•16 days ago

Turns out they're not capable of much except sending fundraising messages.

herostratus356.bsky.social•16 days ago

Well, they should've begged and pleaded in November.

rupaulryan.bsky.social•16 days ago

The VOTERS got us into this. Democrats can sue and tweet and give little speeches, but they can't save us from ourselves.

weeirish.bsky.social•16 days ago

Would the Repugs say that!? No.They stall, fight. Do it all.

auroraerratic.bsky.social•16 days ago

And on top of that apparently they are mad we want them to try.
JFC I hate it here

arkangel615.bsky.social•16 days ago

I mean I take the leaders’ side 100%. If the Dem activists want to get sh!t done they need to use the same tactics the MAGAs did. We need to go after EVERY SINGLE MAGA CONGRESSMAN SENATOR JUDGE AND THEIR FAMILIES

arkangel615.bsky.social•16 days ago

Prove me wrong, that’s exactly what Elon did and it’s a winning strategy

tylerh3.bsky.social•16 days ago

They’re not made for a moment as perilous as this. They have to go. I was saying we have to piss them off and annoy them so much until they start to be an actual opposition party, but on the other hand, I don’t wanna wait for them. We gotta get primary challengers on ourselves.

amandalitman.bsky.social•16 days ago

@runforsomething.net as an org doesn’t do Congressional races. But I gotta say: I know of nearly 1500 young local electeds with experience and skills who should consider a run for Congress themselves…

lou55.bsky.social•16 days ago

We have to go on without them

bbrown14k.bsky.social•16 days ago

You need to start

meggles254.bsky.social•16 days ago

Agreed. They fail to articulate a competing vision and will likely be punished for not taking responsibility and reading the room. Minimally they should be focusing on the following:

meggles254.bsky.social•16 days ago

1) getting corruption out of government 2) not taking money from rich people or corporations to get some integrity back 3) term limits/making room for new voices 4) healthcare availability and not tying it to jobs, restricting freedom and 5) no stock trading- again, corruption

momasaurus.bsky.social•16 days ago

They were not made for this moment. They gotta go.

alsowonderwoman.bsky.social•16 days ago

Voters got us into this by ensuring dems are in the minority. And dems should not be telegraphing any strategies.

leohowler.bsky.social•16 days ago

It is up to a party and candidates to secure those votes if they want to win. If the party or candidate is failing to reach the public then it really is on them for their optics being so poor.

The GOP are shitty and evil, but they know how to get people fired up, or can cheat well enough to win.

alsowonderwoman.bsky.social•16 days ago

Your choice was Harris or fascism. You chose fascism. That's on you.

leohowler.bsky.social•16 days ago

I'm Canadian, and now I have to live next to this mess. Trust me when I say I'm less than thrilled about this outcome.

alsowonderwoman.bsky.social•16 days ago

Well you're going to have an election and it will be a similar choice.

leohowler.bsky.social•16 days ago

Tell me about it.

alsowonderwoman.bsky.social•16 days ago

*every

maraleia.bsky.social•16 days ago

They are fucking incompetent whiners and wastes of space.

pbcarr.bsky.social•16 days ago

They're becoming more feckless by the day. Dem Leadership hasn't accepted the new reality - it's no longer Marquess of Queensbury rules. It's the lowest common denominator of feckin fight club.

anxiouscheetah.bsky.social•16 days ago

Time for new leaders

antonpnym.bsky.social•16 days ago

What is the point of keeping leaders around who refuse to lead?

I say they shouldn't get a penny from fundraising until folks see them doing their jobs.
