And they voted for him anyway! I don’t feel bad, this is what they wanted!

jazstarry.bsky.social•3 days ago

Came here to say this. They wanted other people to suffer, not themselves, so let them face the consequences their votes!

Maybe those farmers shouldn’t have voted for Trump. We tried to tell them what would happen. None of this is a surprise.

I work with produce at a local Co-op. You're spot on.

You should have stood up and shouted this out last night. You and every Dem, other than Rep Green, let Trump's lies go unanswered on a national stage. Here? You are preaching to the choir. What a wasted opportunity to actually show America you are fighting for them.

@cantwell.senate.gov Has grown lazy and entitled. She feels so entitled to our votes that she hasn't done a single town hall since 2017. And she's grown so lazy that she basically relies on Murray's office for most constituent interactions.

TAKE ACTION AGAINST THIS MADNESS!!!!

badmamajama.bsky.social•3 days ago

Then why do they keep voting against their own interests? At what point does political ideology take a back seat to livelihood and your country? By overwhelmingly voting for this mess what did they expect? It makes me so angry! I don’t wish bad on anyone but without it how does it get fixed?

And yet they didn’t learn from the first mistake.

Providing data is helpful, Madame Senator, but taking action is more effective. Bring the plight of WA farmers to the airwaves because the only way to get someone to pay attention is to be seen and heard. I see Senator Murray and Senator Warren on my feed every day. Where are you?

This is much improved. I like the infographic. You need to couple your good message with a call to action.

Something like: "since the law and the job of congress have been usurped by the executive branch, it is necessary to take to the streets immediately"

Then tell people where to meet.

queerjoan.bsky.social•3 days ago

But if you tell people where to meet, that implies a need to protest or potentially *gasp* meeting with constituents.

I'm taking it one step at a time with her. She's coming around.

Our reps are either going to lead the riots that are going to happen this summer or they'll be forced to hide from them.

Maria gets to choose her own adventure.

queerjoan.bsky.social•3 days ago

She hasn't held a town hall since 2017. Her staff were actively annoyed at having to answer questions from protestors @murray.senate.gov's staff invited into the federal building during a protest. She has no interest in listening to you or me, she only cares about listening to her rich friends.

Billionaires will undoubtedly buy up the land as Bill Gates is currently.
What is your Plan to actually stop this and help people??

DO SOMETHING

How do we convince them to vote accordingly. I see far too many Trump signs in farmland when I travel east on I90

I’m wondering myself how they could all vote again for Trump and Baumgartner. Did they think it would be different?

piratequeen1713.bsky.social•3 days ago

1. Most voted for this. Not seeing the problem (obviously I do)
2. Stop relying on Patty Murray to do your job
3. Stop confirming his cabinet picks.
4. Get in front of your people. Not hosting a town meeting in 9 years is unacceptable.

Walk out and stand for something

Our country is on fire and you have time to make charts?

sencortezmasto.bsky.social•3 days ago

Exactly! Farmers are once again being sacrificed in Trumps reckless trade wars. Washington farmers are still reeling from the damage he caused in his first term and now he’s doubling down. Family farms shouldn’t be collateral damage for his failed policies—we need leadership that protect agriculture

Aren’t the farmers the base for the 🍊💩? They get what they voted for, especially since with is 🍊💩2.0
