How can we be largely in control of all the great movies, tv, entertainment etc and so incredibly bad right now at messaging and performance???? We need to hire some of our best talent to punch things up.

dell-adams.bsky.social•18 days ago

Shadow Cabinet when?

koamypup.bsky.social•18 days ago

Oh it certainly is a war and the Dems better figure out how to cut these CRIMINALS OFF AT THE PASS.

Exactly

They're doing whatever they want while we are marching, making stupid signs and pointless speeches. It's time to get serious people.

beverly99.bsky.social•18 days ago

Yes! We haven’t they?

richjvann.bsky.social•17 days ago

Every time someone says the Democrats “should” do something, they show that they don’t understand what/who controls the party - clearly who/what controls it doesn’t really care that democracy is being dismantled to be replaced by a monarchy controlled by oligarchs where we’re all powerless serfs.

The world must realize that Israel's stability is crucial for the entire Middle East, and supporting us is in everyone's interest.

dahoovster.bsky.social•18 days ago

Spend some of that campaign money on ads ~now~ keep em fresh and on screen

lodestar1.bsky.social•18 days ago

Democrats have to act.

philipvernon.bsky.social•18 days ago

PREDICTION:

In the future, perhaps even sooner than that, somehow, there will be ZERO chump voters to be found.

verdictofodin.bsky.social•18 days ago

They do not. But they will.

Label Musk a socialist by insisting his businesses are propped up by government funding. Tesla customers get a rebate. SpaceX gets contracts. The far right would hate to be reminded that Musk is the richest man because of socialism. Add a Chinese flag; the racist right will stop and think about it.

saintsfannn.bsky.social•17 days ago

Here’s an idea: Turn that pic in the OP into a meme reminding people that was the day Musk invited Trump to come see one of his rockets blow up. It’s funny because it’s true. 😂😂

The Dems, in particular, @schumer.senate.gov, and the rest of the old-guard leadership are not getting it. Decorum is out the window, a billionaire immigrant from South Africa has taken down the US government.

chrisneyland.bsky.social•18 days ago

Actually, Democrats should be trying to divorce the normal states from a “country” that includes so many idiotic racists as to elect someone like Benedict Trump.

Rather than constantly being in a state of war with them.

Why bother? All they do is subsidize Republicanism.

bardophile.bsky.social•18 days ago

Do you really believe that the people who have continued to fight the good fight in red states deserve to be abandoned?

chrisneyland.bsky.social•18 days ago

Moved.

It’s the best thing for everyone.

They rallied yesterday outside USAID—here's my piece:

Stay strong.
Stay focused.
Clear your head.
Fear not.
Hold together.
Join hands.

They will not stop until they are *stopped*.

kitty-hawk52.bsky.social•18 days ago

Exactly no more Mr. Nice Guy. Felon 47 must be stopped

buttlordx.bsky.social•18 days ago

I think the ideal solution to our problems longer term, would be for DSA to displace the Dems. All the young and working people move to DSA, and the Dems keep that tiny locus of rich libs that they care about to the exclusion of all others

dominiondem.bsky.social•18 days ago

The War/the insurrection started the day after the election 2020. It hasn't stopped since! It is now accelerated at a warp speed over the last two weeks. Democrats MUST fight back w/every political tool possible & that includes growing a backbone/going on the offense! If Democrats wont. Who will?

autiebea.bsky.social•18 days ago

we *need* an army of ppl to go into the coffee shops, diners, hardware stores, walmarts, bars etc. in red states and report on what magats are talking about! not just once, but regularly.
this NEEDS to be part of the democratic party's core strategy. fuck polls. THIS is the data that matters.

melonberrytide.bsky.social•18 days ago

This would require them to actually do something other than quietly waiting for "their turn". There are, what 10, Democrats in all of Congress that have a spine?

A shadow gvt. This IS war; war for our democracy & freedoms. I’ve been disappointed with Dem leaders lack of advanced, multi-prong planning to fight back at 2025. We need leaders. After all, that’s why we voted for them and contributed our hard-earned $$ to their campaigns.
