@chrislhayes.bsky.social: Some Democrats are convinced they just need to keep their heads down and hope they can run on egg prices in two years. Not only is that strategy morally wrong in my view, but it is strategically wrong.

Agree. Although as the GOP begins trying to move very dicey and time sensitive budget related bills through the House, you may see the Dems begin moving to inflict some concrete political damage.
It's up to us to tell them different. They've got a whole lot more (& I suspect it's only going to get recession worse). The sooner they start pounding thru the entire distruction list, the sooner it will get thru to those that only watch Fox.
This makes sense! Not as far as any sane logic, strategy, etc., but it explains why they are doing NOTHING to try & combat all that is going on; why both Senate AND House Dems continue to vote WITH Republicans and even AGAINST fellow Dems. They apparently don't have a clue how effing PISSED we are!
What makes these democrats think there will be a fair election in two years? Trump is moving fast and our country as we know it may not last for two more years. Action is needed now.
You do not have 2 years! The Reichstag fire was the pretext to impose martial law in Germany. Do you think the current regime won't create a crisis to shut down the government?
Wait, the D's spent lots of time on the dangers of Project 2025 & democracy in the last election & y'all said "You dummies, you should have talked about egg prices!". 1) Please make up your mind. 2) It's a false narrative that D's are "keeping their heads down" & just trying to "run on egg prices".
Just stop with the "blame the Democrats" for what the R's are doing. No, they're not just "keeping their heads down" and "running on egg prices" 🤦🏼♂️ That's a false narrative. All the "blame the D's" thing does is empower the R's and make it less likely the D's can regain some power.
The idea that they’re not “fighting back” is false. The best way to put them in a position to win is to support them and vote for them so they regain a majority somewhere, e.g. the House.
Let's be real. Egg prices will eventually flatten out even if Rs do everything wrong, which they will.
Then Fox&Co will praise Trump for masterfully outflanking Dems on their only issue, and Dems will somehow still be caught flatfooted and end up conceding the point.
In your imagination. Trans people have the right to transition. Just not negatively impact natural born women. One man’s freedom is nds where another man’s freedom begin. Og thought there. Learn. Study. Wake up.
Trans girls playing girls sports. Define the police. Trans girls using girls locker rooms. You know the things 90% of Americans think are just ridiculous. You can make change if you don’t win elections.
None of those policies were adopted by any mainstream candidate. Kamala was staunchly pro police and never spoke about trans people. Those are topics that the right wing has attached to the entire Democrat party. And I also don't believe 90% of Americans are against trans children
I didn't loose, centerist democrats lost. If people want republican policy they vote for a Republican who will go all in not some Democrat who's going to half ass it
It’s not trans children. It’s that lie that the far left pushed that is the problem. The problem is when my daughters are not treated fair bc an activity class wants to take their rights away.
And they need to be rebuked when mainstream democrats speak in them. It’s not just a Kamala problem. It’s a Democratic Party problem. Stop doing stupid shit needs to be the motto of the party going forward.
They do, Republicans are louder. I don't think I can name 1 current democratic policy. what's happened to Medicare for all, education assistance, going after big business and supporting unions. None of the top Democrats embody these principles that were very popular under Obama
After the Oval Office fiasco just 4 days prior, wasn't it a no-brainer that all the @democrats.org had to do on Tuesday was have their side of the chamber be a sea of blue and yellow?
That would have sent an unmistakable message to the country and the world
@chrislhayes.bsky.social the DEMS are still playing a game of decorum while the Red Hats cheat, lie and tout "fake news bits". This will come from the PEOPLE to show leadership how to break through. We need just below French Revolution Energy.. trust France won't go back to that ever again...
If all of this Muskiness is unconstitutional and/or illegal (which it is), why the heck is congress not shutting it all down? They all need to be removed from office. They aren't working.
I can only speak for myself but the tepid bathwater response from democrats has essentially killed any faith i have in the party. I'll be voting for the most liberal candidates in the primaries. The leadership has totally lost touch.
When you are just silently standing by and doing nothing, even though you have the opportunity, means and power to do so, doesn’t it make you complicit?
Democrats keep sending emails asking for money. I will send money if they follow Bernie Sanders' lead and do town halls all over this country where they explain what is actually going on, especially in districts where Republicans won't meet with their constituents.
Democrats are definitely smarter than that. Hopefully their not as timid as that as well. Time to Definitely Toughen up, and call for a National Strike! Lead by Union Leaders. European Unions DON'T MESS AROUND. THEY'LL SHUT SHIT DOWN!! To give government "pause".
The way old guard Dem leadership is behaving right now just might be helping to pave the way for a new progressive party to emerge. I am all for it because for damn sure this ain't cutting it for young voters or old voters like me.
Hey Democrats- TAKE NOTE 📝
No more $$$$$$$$$$$$
I am now on a payment plan based on results.
Therefore, don’t expect anymore $$$$$.
Results driven pay is now in effect. Until further notice.
There is no leadership in the Democratic Party.
Hakeem Jeffries is out trying to sell his book.
Every Democrat not on this list should not be reelected.👇
My fear is that 46% of the electorate is unpersuadable. After Trump(ism) is defeated, the American system of governance has to be reorganized. The current system is untenable.
Neither the DNC nor the elected officials are inspiring anything. Maybe they should be like community organizers and platform the voices of the resistance
Say their names. Jeffries and Schumer are embarrassingly feckless. Raskin, Crockett, and AOC should be the names considered to lead Dems out of this bankrupt strategy while Jeffries is busy on his book tour.
I personally am not sure we will make it through the next 2 months, you can forget about elections in 2 years because our nation will be in shambles. If the time for action is not now, there will not be a future time to act
Hit him where it hurts! March, mock, whatever. But above all never turn your back on one of your own because you want him to follow protocol during trump's speech. That is so so so wrong, unforgiveable even.

But to really change the national conversation we need to be targeted and not chase every issue
Inflation & Social Security hits every American, or will

It will be over before they admit the scope & scale of the threat.
This is the origin of the

Failure to overcome shock.
YES, it can happen to you!
Denial is no defense.
Act as if your life depends on your ability to see it.

That would have sent an unmistakable message to the country and the world
and it would have bugged Trump all nite
You Don't Fight Fascism with NICE.
They do know an egg costs 50 cents more at Waffle House.
Don’t run only on egg prices but do talk about egg prices.
By the way, there’s a chance the tariffs are going to raise egg prices, too.
we vote for these people because we hope they share our principles - turns out they don’t have any
Or maybe there will be nothing left to salvage by then. Positive counter-action is needed now if we’re to turn this sinking ship around.

Anyone else? For fuck's sake somebody do something.
The point about what worked in previous resistance is well taken; it was the PEOPLE who made the difference
Did Dems do anything different then, within their roles in Congress?
They vote, make motions, hold hearings, speak out, ... no?
RUN FOR SOMETHING!
@runforsomething.net
This is what they’re talking about! Believe in something, stand up for something, RUN FOR SOMETHING!!!
