Respectfully, AOC is a devicive idiot. None of her predictions have come true, and she has no ambition to work with either side of the aisle, including our own party.
Respectfully disagree. I've met fifth graders is more intelligent than her... She's a gaslighting obstructionist... need examples? I mean no disrespect to you but I truly believe she's a puppet
Respectfully, I disagree with you. I don't think the violent rhetoric and the obstruction that she conveys helps. Additionally she has not introduced one bill that will help her constituents. I don't think she knows that She works for the people in her district not everyone.
She is the only one it’s unbelievable to me maybe Adam Schiff or Chris Murphy but other than that you really don’t hear nothing from none of these Democrats. This is why people hate Democrats no balls.
Meanwhile, Legacy Blue Boomers are getting their knickers in a twist bc Hakeem Jeffries book tour is getting protested in Chicago and that's WRONG bc blind allegiance to a certain letter after a name is only a problem for THOSE people
Dude, her and AOC both. While everyone else seems to be sitting around doing the political equivalent of “thoughts and prayers”, they’re actually trying to get some shit done and get people mobilized.
Jasmine Crockett speaks from the heart, as does AOC, JB Pritzker, Pete Buttigieg. They don't need scripts as many other dem pols seem to. It's time for the men to put down their paper and lame clichés and start saying what they really feel and know. Schumer sucks, others sound sleepy. #KeepItReal.
Let’s do our part & move out of our state of shock -> into action. Her voice will be more powerful if they know that we are behind her taking action. Let’s come up with action steps & share widely. Start w/financial boycotts 4 a minimum of 1 week, done multiple times. See attached image. Repost?
I'm screaming here and in every platform but soon as you mention let's get together and talk about solutions you'll get "crickets". They tell you what you've already done, but won't strategize over what we can still do.. it's sad honestly I'm depressed like a bunch of zombies behind screens..
AOC is calling them out too. It's time for the establishment Democrats to get on board and back them up. It's past time for going with the flow. What good is holding onto a seat while the country goes to hell? Younger bloods need to primary their asses if all they do is sit on them.
It's to the point of being really enraging! Our govt is being cut into oblivion, things that help our citizens being cut so billionaires can can get more money, & our rights are being stripped bc Trump wants to be king. So wtf is the problem? It's pretty obvious what needs to be done, SPEAK UP DEMS!
She's not super human. She's human just like everyone else. They can do the same thing, they choose to be cowards and not. You don't need super powers to stop these people you need more humans
It would seem the more loudly they shout the truth, the safer they become. And there should be some increased safety “in numbers” and solidarity to the public.
Don’t forget how our education system has been worn down, along with the nonstop messaging we’ve endured for the last 40 years. And where is the left’s long-term plan? Right—there isn’t one, because there’s no money or power in actually fixing wealth inequality or fighting for social justice.
I blame the fools who believed the lies against her. Guess this is one reason why they were determined to defeat her, at the Electoral ballot box, across Social & TV media, & by RU & Silicon Valley trolls & bots, debasing her career, her person & silencing her voice.
Democrats, the country is counting on you to make a statement at the SOTU, either by not going or turning your backs. Show us that you are with is in fighting this TOGETHER!
Wear black or a brown Jedi robe (cause they don't like brown people) Bring this sign with you to remind them of the oath they ALL took. As soon as he opens his mouth, walk out have a conference outside.
My congressman, Robert Garcia, is being targeted by the DOJ for analogies and calling Elon a dick. I think that at least gets him back up on the triangle.

Time to drop the chorus:
"Where the justice at? Where the action at?
I ain't seen no movement, just a passive act
Tell me, who you really back? Who you fightin’ for?
Cuz the ones in them boardrooms ain’t strugglin' poor" -Not Kendrick
I’m the eternal Optimus and will never say never for the fight for our FREEDOM. We stand together, we fight together and we die together. That’s AMERICA at its best.
She is very vocal but what does it do. Yes she is calling out the GOP but what is it doing ? He still is writing EO, and the GOP keeps doing what they are doing. All the Dems can do is be vocal .
Both she and AOC have things to say, charisma fire in the belly and good looks. You can hate that appearance matters but humans are like that. I hear plenty of comments about how Gavin Newsome looks like he came from central casting.
What rhythm section? Dems are sitting this one out until the bean counters can tell them their precious seat is safe. Democrats aren't a hell of a lot more courageous than the Rs.
I agree they need back up but even Rep Crockett acknowledges (to Nicolle Wallace) that this media savvy & communication skill is not something all her colleagues have. Talents are diverse so we need to realize this. That said, more just need to put themselves out there and know we have their back.
The whites are going to piss me off more because y’all love a screaming Black woman until it is time to put one in the White House. Allyship outside the voting booth is pissing in the wind.
Not this white woman! I was a proud & excited voter for Kamala! She would've done a fantastic job & all those who sat this out are solely responsible for where we are now!
I am. I think white people are useless and don’t know how to properly contribute to a civil society. If they did, America wouldn’t be in its current circumstances. Hope that helps.
I voted for Kamala. I am a white woman and I hate the white women especially who voted for Trump or stayed home. Black women tried to save us by voting 92% Democrat. We don’t deserve you.
yeah except they were all in to profit from the con too, i would be very happily surprised to see it, but we have to fall back on the young left leaning dems and liz cheney. possibly mike pence. and whatever military leadership is not ousted and replaced by puppets in the new regime.
You must have missed the lead up to the election because that’s exactly what a lot of them did, but of course all non ⚫️ folks thought they were ‘over reacting’ so now you want them to again voice what they already said when no one but us ⚫️ people understood the assignment-nope ⚪️ folks time to shine
actually what is shows is that they were only in the game for personal gain in the political arena. Thats not how the leadership of an opposition party works. especially since the former president(s) are still de facto heads of the DNC. if they gave up, it means they benefit from giving up.
I would respectfully disagree, when did they become the opposition party when the ⚪️people duly elected a felon and rapist is this not what democracy is supposed to stand for? What exactly do you want them to do?
speak up? get out with the protestors? act like the heads of the DNC? and yes. they did become an opposition party when the MAGAts took over and if they, respectfully, actually care about the country like they say they do, they would be leading when it counts. They could learn from zelinsky.
Ok Holly why don’t you speak up by getting your ass out there? They warned you about the 🍊🤡 and project 2025. You couldn’t get your friends & family to snap out of the cult & vote for the Black woman. Those who are in Congress now should be screaming from the rooftops. Not those who are not.
Clearly you are not from Maryland. Senator Van Holllen and Congressman Jamie Raskin have been leading the charge against the dictator from day one of the firings. See postings on my page. Jamie has been doing more to try and help people than anyone. See my postings. Only heard words from Crockett
I think an issue is that Dems in general are having a hard time getting as much media coverage they need, or promoting vids on social media platforms that are deliberately suppressing Democrats.
Shameful and deliberate, how the oligarchy has bought out all of the biggest communication tools.
I think you're right. I only know what they're doing because of social media posts and videos. There are quite a few of them but they need to be more strategic. I think some of them are going to need to pull a John Lewis and get arrested. And some of us are going to have to get arrested with them.
I believe there are many that aren't getting coverage and it's sad because it's what we all need right now is unity. Each time I hear of another out doing the work, I add them to my list of "ggod folks I need to vote for later" and then I follow them, so thank you for the info!!
Media only covers who is hot now. There is so much going on that a lot of good work goes unnoticed. Which is why we on Bluesky need to focus on the good things people are doing.
It was only the fear of that R winning that kept me from leaving the senate box blank. I knew there was something about the smear campaign against her that smelt bad, and once it was confirmed that Schiff was behind itI had to hold my breath voting for him.
Exactly. Pete is tapping on some bongos and Bernie is, bless his heart, playing some lovely very detailed harp parts but nobody pays attention to the harp. And they need to turn AOC's mike up. But the rest of the band are still nursing an election hangover. Get over it.
Have you called her to leave messages? We need to do our part. Speak up. I have been leaving messages for Betsy daily. Am I the only one doing this. I feel like it at times 🤷♀️
Why are you insulting and attacking a constituent that you have no fucking idea what they’re doing?You’re exactly the reason why I am losing respect for Democrats. Shut the fuck up.
I've been emailing and faxing her. Think I'll try calling too. Her web site listed some letters she wrote in opposition. If you ask me, Felon 47 doesn't read national security briefs how can she expect he'd read a letter. I'd like to see her, Klobuchar and Smith attend rallies.
Yes, I agree. I would attend. On Presidents Day there was a protest at the state Capitol. I attended that. I'm like you, I don't know what to do. Trying to surround myself with others who think like we do. BTW I was not attacking you. Sorry if it came across that way 😔
Hi, made calls today to McCollum, Smith and Klobuchar via 5calls.org.
Talked to one staffer and left 2 voicemails. Also been working with Postcards To Voters to write to inactive Dem voters about campaigns in their areas. Just sent a bunch for Susan Crawford for WI Supreme Court election April 1st.
Agree! I'd like to know what measures are being taken to oust him, for election fraud, giving an illegal nazi spy access to sensitive citizen and government information, for colluding with russia, and every other shit thing he's done. 💜Jasmine Crockett but words are getting us nowhere.
I am sort of hoping all this sh*itshow will cause a full reset, oblige us to review and correct the system that allowed this to happen. America has led a certain centrist left to take over globally, but we desperately need brave new leaders who take harder stances against neo-lib and climate change.
Jasmine Crockett is speaking out not w/the motive of a politician protecting their political future, not as a politician regurgitating political speak of old or recent past. She's calling things as they are. She's the only politician in this unfortunate time to be a politician that gives me hope.
Yes and for us to unite and stop arguing with the keyboard critics telling others how to run their personal protests instead of applauding

Agreed, we need to see more collective work, not just these here and there reps and senators. It's not going to work if they aren't acting and looking like a large group. Crockett over here, Swalwell over there, and Raskin and AOC over yonder aren't enough voices to be heard in this din.
exactly. they put a handful of people in front of the camera from both the House & Senate. others are partnering with outside orgs for the legal challenges. *most* everybody is posting on social media platforms. *everybody* should be working on townhalls & talking to their own constituents.
This approach is important. We have to flood the air with SIMPLE facts. The chain of increasing hyperbolic lies our idiot community members swallowed to get so conditioned will take a car wash of Dawn soap facts to clean their minds. We must wash the filthy lies down the drain.

There are 262 Democrats in congress.
I can think of maybe 10 that are putting their voice in the fight.
A lot of the reliably blue states, send reliably boring reps to DC.
42 D’s from CA doing nothing besides Robert Garcia. 18 from NY, AOC is the only one present.
We might be able to do this.
Thanks for your voice.

@adamkinzinger.bsky.social is no longer in congress, but he is another one. RESPECT!
Not that others in congress aren't, I see them as well. But they are using their official roles to speak out.

Spew hate on their platform. I can only imagine if the roles were reversed

OH, HIDING!!!
The orange faced sexual predator made some very embarrassing mistakes with J6 and during covid that he would like to rewrite.
I don't have a problem with being targeted, there isn't a better cause.

there's more.
she said they are all on the same page, and people are being tasked to their strengths.
Meaning you're *not* going to see everybody and their brother out there in front of the cameras.
I'm going to bet it's nothing, because we can't do anything right now. Pretending she's doing more than anyone else is an insult to all of us.
