Watch what Polis is doing. They are getting in line.

I'm going to take a "blanket approach" to never voting for him.

kesty1.bsky.social•9 days ago

wtf not? There was not one qualified nominee

choochoo-bob.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yea, sure I won't be contributing to the DSCC, sell outs. You won't find any MAGA voting with you in anything. AGRI secretary is going to gut everything.

meganne23.bsky.social•9 days ago

You're losing all the battles anyway, what's your point? A blanket approach is required because the nominees are unqualified Across the board

prollyrong.bsky.social•9 days ago

So by caving on these battles you expect some different results on future battles? Blue is fucking broken. Even if we regain some control in two years there's absolutely no plan except same old, same old. We need a party with greater interest than simply maintaining their existence.

Based on skill set and knowledge base, we should pick our battles as ineividuals, but as a unified front, we should not pull punches.

I’ve written several letters to this shit bag.

tlf5foot8.bsky.social•9 days ago

He’s worthless

hankster195173.bsky.social•9 days ago

Weak and gutless.
This guy needs to be called out by Democrats for being a “ traitor “ to the party.
Get rid of this bowl of jelly that panders to a dictator!

clausmeier.bsky.social•9 days ago

Traitor

relandis24.bsky.social•9 days ago

He, and most Democrats, simply don’t understand what Trump & his minions are doing. Democrats think the “public” wants bi-partisan cooperation & will punish Republicans for not working with Democrats. But the Trump/Musk cabal is not worried about punishment as they aren’t planning to allow it.

It’s easy for a white, male, multi-millionaire to say. Everything’s been upended and we are in the midst of a constitutional crisis. All bets are off!

Also, a prime example of why politicians are out touch — most of them make more $1M a year.

katierein.bsky.social•9 days ago

Complying in advance. So disappointed in a man who can often be good

peaceprole.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yes senator Bennett, we do need to pick our battles. The battle right now is whether or not to allow a fascist dictatorship in the United States. Capitulation to a fascist government never works. Never. Someone will end up in a camp. In fact they already have.

peaceprole.bsky.social•9 days ago

Senator Bennett please Google "Vichy"

juicyj86.bsky.social•9 days ago

@bennet.senate.gov 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ this ain’t it. Do better

A blanket over madmen sounds right.

SAVE ONE BULLET FOR THE TRAITOR!

ALL 750 000 000 EUROPEANS HATE TRUMP

ejchalmers.bsky.social•9 days ago

@michaelbennet.bsky.social FIGHT YOU FUCKING PANSY!

mensabarbi.bsky.social•9 days ago

Finally Bennet listens

darkdaysahead.bsky.social•9 days ago

Dud. This is why people stay home. They do not listen to their constituents.

akimberlyb.bsky.social•9 days ago

You were voted in to protect people, you think that trying to agree on things with these nut jobs is going to do ANYTHING in the future?? the GOP are lunatics, they have to be voted out - not allow more in!

Democrats are a party of hatred......they created the kkk after Republicans freed the blacks and have been residing in hatred since.

turnerinroc.bsky.social•9 days ago

When all it takes to fight the battle is a "no" vote what on earth is keeping you from picking all of them? What do you think you'll get in return for a "yes"?

mrchompchomp.bsky.social•9 days ago

“Look. How are we going to help them build concentration camps if we burn all of our political capital on appointments?”

gogoboots.bsky.social•9 days ago

It’s a coup - not a battle. When democracy falls, it will be on your head and those just like you.

kieranhannon.bsky.social•9 days ago

These are the battles to fight

ideachris.bsky.social•9 days ago

Buh bye Bennet. You lost this Denverite

zerodrummer.bsky.social•9 days ago

Good old Bennet, bringing a silver spoon to a knife fight! What a spineless little turd!

@bennet.senate.gov

senorwow.bsky.social•9 days ago

That's why we lose. We need to oppose him on every move. No spine!

buttonspider.bsky.social•9 days ago

Fuck you, Michael Bennet

cpm5280.bsky.social•9 days ago

Tragic mistake.

joncobeard.bsky.social•9 days ago

Complicit enabler

rockmn.bsky.social•9 days ago

Wake up Bennet. You are trying to play nice with Fascists. That is called appeasement. Go find work elsewhere.

rockmn.bsky.social•9 days ago

What on earth does he think he poses by opposing the nut jobs that Trump nominated? What possible political favors from the Republicans weigh in here? Even the fellow from Colorado is a religious fruit cake. Bennet can go pound sand. Let him cross the aisle if he wishes to vote in this manner.

ecfsigma.bsky.social•9 days ago

Wrong. No votes for anything or anybody until the criming stops.
