You don't know enough about Republicans if you think this. They primaried the shit out of every politician who did not support the Tea Party in 2014 or Trump in 2018. Their politicians are afraid of their voters. Democrat politicians are careless about theirs.
And then they became MAGA. We don’t want to be Blue MAGA. We don’t want to be anything like them. They’re fucking nazis. Fascists, you don’t emulate them. Unless you like them
That is insane to say about a party that is winning and getting exactly what they want including dominance in the circuit and Supreme Courts. There are absolutely sound strategies you can learn from them.
Purity tests are not good or bad in and of themselves, not having any will obliterate a party.
there are no magic politicians... believing in them got us here... Joe wasn't magic enough... This the USA where WE THE PEOPLE bear ultimate responsibility.. we break it. we pay the cost to fix it.. We broke it By not enough fighting this battle at the Polls. time for us to shovel the shit ourselves
What should happen is every Republican needs to be primaried.
Right now you just sound like a Republican plant attempting to weaken the Democratic Party even more.
how about we fucking primary republicans to flip seats to win the senate and the house you dumb fuck???????????????????????????????????????????????????????
You can try, probably will go nowhere because a politician is not defined by the quantity of bills they passed but rather what they vote for/against and how they speak to the public and those they investigate.
OK, I had to delete my post. I am so 🤬 with senator’s behavior. They needed US to scream at them to get off their butts and go find musky. They are willfully unprepared for this coup we knew about last March! Today they’re big threat is GOP must live with… I’m not gonna disagree with this article.🤬
I agree with a lot that you said. We need new blood or democrats will loose
Pelosi stuck her nose in when a younger woman would have been 1000 times better
Have you noticed how they keep bringing up Crockett and AOC together?? Crockett who actually has done stuff, and AOC who’s done fuck all like you said… but I keep hearing leftist mention them together 🤔
But also, I swear they didn’t used to know who Jasmine Crockett was, but now it’s like they’re trying to say that AOC is the same as her… When that’s insulting to Jasmine Crockett.
Even AOC. Thirty seconds after I followed her, I got an email asking for money.
Um, there’s a coup happening. Um, and if giving money were the answer, why didn’t it work last time? And the time before that??
I have nothing against old people.. it’s the sheer lethargic response with the old inclusive protests and protestations… it won’t work with the maniac in power. He is riding them out.. these people talk to people who have no patience or interest in the way they are approaching to stop this assault.
I contacted Senator Murray a couple of times, by mail and by voicemail. Message: DO SOMETHING! She is being very vocal. Dems could all do more, but at least it's a start, and hopefully not too late! Great job on the 5050 1 demonstrations! (Indivisible is a good resource.) Hugs
I have an idea why don't Democrats get behind their Senators like Republicans do. All this back biting by Democrats is why we are where we are at. Stop with purity tests and all the other stupid shit until we save our country until then shove it.
The stupidity of this posting is amazing. Let's primary Dems because Idiots vote against their own best interest 🤔...how stupid. Dems didn't do this... Americans did. This is a White Person problem that needs to be fixed.
This is not a White person problem at all. Dems have been bleeding minority voters and you are too incapable of arguing for why so you tell yourself the comforting lie that it's only White people who caused Kamala's loss.
I mean yeah, Harris saw not only historic losses in vote share with Hispanics, Asians, Gays and Muslims for a Democrat, she performed worse among Black people than Biden. All these groups tilted closer to Trump in 2024 vs 2020. The only group Kamala outdid Biden on was college-educated whites.
Cheetoos got what....10-15% of the black vote. More people didn't vote because of Palestine Buttercup. And those Latinos that voted for him are now scared that their family members can be deported.
Still Democrats have been steadily losing their minority base with each election, like I said. You can tell yourself simple tales but he got 20% of the Black male vote and got low single digits in 2016, he still gains with Hispanics because he creates high paying Border Patrol Jobs for them.
We want to inform you that the GCR(globe currency Reset) will be activated soon, and safeguard your assets amidst the current financial crisis during this opportune period by transitioning to the QFS.
You don’t understand, their votes aren’t gettable. There will always be some new issue that’s a line in the sand for them. At least republicans do us the honor of being clear that they’re not gonna vote for us.
DSA tankie types hate democrats more than they hate fascism.
Like I said, there will never be anything good enough for the DSA tankies. Biden’s worker focused policies lost him the election because you idiots pretend that his administration wasn’t the most progressive US presidency of all time while the right use his progressive policies against him.
lol, buddy, if Biden is your attempt to get the votes of leftists, you really didnt try.
the issue is Dems would rather lose with moderates than win with leftists. we actually dont have that high of standards, Dems are just unwilling to make even the slightest concession
Americans need to know that we are on the cusp of a government coup. Musk is controlling the U.S. treasury’s $6 trillion dollars and trump is illegally shutting down federal departments.
Americans are being distracted and Nat’ news is not covering the magnitude of this situation.
If you can replace them with a fiery younger Dem then sure, but otherwise what are you doing? Electing more Repubs? Lol. I'm scared and mad AF and I want stuff to stop & I want them to be fiery, but I also know they're the minority, they can only do so much. People are expecting water from a stone.
I'm tired of the victim-blaming of progressives. The GOP are evil, strategic, and well-financed in an electoral system that benefits them thanks to the Senate and EC, but I guess the Dems didn't blow their rape whistle loud enough so it's all their fault what happened to them.
Republican primaries are won by the candidate with the Trump seal of approval, not the candidate that will do right by the people.
Democratic leadership is soft and too indebted to corporate donors to offer a populist agenda. If we get strong leadership, we can push these authoritarians out.
Fair, but I have reason to believe that some dems are rather important for corporate organization, and that AOC and friends would be better than nothing.
He does not have 100% success rate. It's about 50/50 whether his stamp of approval works. And after a year and a half of Trump ruining the lives of the Trump voters, that ratio will move in favor of those primarying him.
His endorsement was not a big help in 2018.
According to Ballotpedia, Trump's success rate on PRIMARY election endorsements is about 95% from 2018 onward. According to the same source, even his general election endorsement success rate is higher than 50/50.
This is besides the point though. I wouldn't bet my life on the moral compass of the current Republican party.
Instead of worrying about what those clowns are doing, Dems should focus on leaders with a strong, populist agenda that can actually motivate folks to get out and vote. Dems dont have that
You underestimate how badly trump & the gop will fuck up this country in the next 2 years. We are already seeing trump supporters regret their votes. Give it time...
Honestly, I am absolutely 100000% over us eating our own for absolutely no reason and with no benefit whatsoever. The House/Senate has been a playground for Republican bullies since Obama's 1st term. Focus on people that are actual trash. Or just push Biden to step down again and see how it goes.
Holy hell do they look motivated to protect their constituents from the shitfuckery of the Trump admin...just look at 'em, wondering what's on the early bird special menu.
Dems don't trash each other Casey... Go away and stay on x.
We stand united against trumps maga Congress and Senate. We will fight this war on our democracy. Let's cheer each other on instead of blaming Dems for the trump maga constitutional horror going on.
If you wanted to oust incumbent Democrats who didn't do enough, the primary is where you do it so you trade an old Democrat with a new one instead of a Republican.
If you care about our country and our party then you should be pressuring our leaders when they are being weak and feckless. Or work to discard them when they refuse to budge
I used to be on this train too, but no. No democrat should vote in-line with them at all. Period. If they’re not obstructing them, then they need to get out of the way for someone who will. Enough is enough of weak, ineffective leadership.
Dems are fucking weak, enabled fascism to take hold by using "decorum"
They LITERALLY accepted a fraudulent election from a KNOWN cheater & then HANDED us over😡without ANY fight
AMERICANS stand against it, not with a party
Actually the American Voters allowed fascism take hold! They were told over and over again and ignored it over “egg prices”. So blaming elected officials for using rules of Order & Decorum (like they are suppose to) is a weak argument.
Age is just a number. I do however believe the older democrats are not equipped for today’s challenges or modes of action/communication. They are slow to respond and not up to the challenge for trump chaos.
This isn't helpful. Whoever wrote this is just interested in promoting themself. Instead of sketching out a plan for doing something, they're attacking their single opponent. They're not a solution; they're part of the problem. We're going to need better candidates than that.
They aren’t attacking Trump though and when they do the response is feckless. You know what, to be this wrong you must have so DSM diagnosis or benefit from the party in some way.
People will stop "attacking" them when they get off their wrinkled behinds and go and take action. Not speeches. Not wrong worded letters. Not snappy tweets. ACTION. They should be blocking access to every federal agency with their own body.
How can't you not understand, that they are the minority!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, all they can do is protest, vote no, and try to convince any Rep they can also to vote no, there is nothing they can do, period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that's a GREAT idea! And she's in the picture! WOW! Since @pattymurray.bsky.social is not answering her phone I thought she got stuck under that rock she's been hiding under!
Absofuckinglutely. Every single person who hasn’t taken a stand. If we knew about this three weeks ago, why didn’t they say and do something? Why is it just now - we’ve been screaming into void for 14 days. Now some are starting to speak out, it feels far too late. I hope I’m wrong.
So who do you want us to complain to Amy Kloberchar she is so middle of the road.She tried to get along with everyone.I dont think ive ever seen her stand up
No, he's just saying to get rid of the dems that aren't fighting for us and just let's the other side do what they want while fattening their own pockets
Nothing wrong with that at all but the real power isn’t with who has the best clap back. The power rests with who can get meaningful legislation passed.
If anyone does it's you, practice what you preach. I'm just saying that there are people in the senate not doing what we ask of them and they should be replaced with someone that actually represents the democratic beliefs.
No, I’m not the one who came to her reply to tell her how things are to be done. That’s you, it’s on you and you need to take responsibility for it. If that bothers you, see my above reply to you.
Probably because Democrat leaders and Republican leaders serve the same capital owning class. Is this not obvious? Are you familiar with the good cop bad cop routine? Democrat leaders are the good cop republican leaders are the bad cop.
2. Sure, Democrats pretend like they want to preserve our rights, rather, privileges. But they end up, losing almost all the time when it comes to those things don’t they? Almost like it’s on purpose.
Personally, I’m surprised nobody has the nuts to blame the Christians for all this. After all, it’s their fantasy land, religious thinking that made all this possible. Oh shit. I guess I do. Preacher across America helped him get elected in the name of their God. Which is a complete fiction.
No one is fighting. We’re constantly told we need to defend leadership who either does the bare minimum or nothing at all. If they’re silent, they’re not helping. Do better.
You are encouraging that every single democrat should be primaried. Them's, as they say, fightin' words.
Its literally telling people to create strife, forcing them to fight on two fronts.
I agree they aren't doing enough, we need them to do more.
Throwing bombs may not be the solution, though.
Holding people who’ve decided to vote for some of his picks accountable is not attacking them. You should absolutely expect better from your representatives.
Imagine a dozen or more motivated millennials somehow getting elected as democratic senators for just fucking around and letting the old crustys find out. Never working in Florida but could get interesting.
Any worse than 80 year old Schumer hopping around like a retiree having trouble pulling his catheter out? Or that half-brain-dead oaf Fetterman begging to work WITH Trump? Done!
Primary every cowardly congress member, regardless of their party. Time to Take Back America. The US is on fire. If you aren't fighting for us, you must go.
If we think that they will hold a fair election in 2026, then we are stupid. we will have to for our lives like it 1774 it a new day the allow for a criminal organization to take over our government
This facade of outrage is killing me. This group of democratic politicians is the most spineless lot I’ve ever seen. Outmaneuvered at every turn by opposition strategists. They’re not even playing the same game, let alone being on the same field. Chasing egg prices while they dismantle democracy.
Let me show my outrage by posting a letter on instagram about my outrage and how outrageous this all is… whilst I do nothing and pretend like that was something. They’re letting this happen so they can play the blame game, meanwhile in Gilead…
Imagine “thinking” - take those quotes very personally - you have a point. The reason why republicans are so successful is because they rant and rave on television. Dems don’t do that. This is why they lose so often and only win the presidency is the last 20 years after republicans mess things up.

They all took an oath to protect the constitution.

Time for new leadership that can fight a goddamn war.
Um, there’s a coup happening. Um, and if giving money were the answer, why didn’t it work last time? And the time before that??

history demonstrates that the weakest among you are its strongest leaders.
i hope you find them soon.
we poor have already lived this dystopian nightmare for decades.
we totally get it. ✊🏻🩶

He wanted to do all kinds of things that I hated, but he was honest about it
McCain sold his office to the NRA
Sinema, Kelly and now Gallego start every sentence with "Bipartisan"
if we wanted that we'd have voted for McSally, Masters or Lake
Its literally telling people to create strife, forcing them to fight on two fronts.
I agree they aren't doing enough, we need them to do more.
Throwing bombs may not be the solution, though.
I am telling them to take action. If they can’t, primary them.
This isn’t hard. Why don’t you expect your representatives to represent you?
They'd throw themselves into a volcano if the donors told them to.
Primary Fetterman too. He's Sinema and Manchin in sweatpants.
When Rs were the minority, they made so much trouble. We can't even get them to not confirm these dangerous nominees.
